The location was convenient to wineries and Fredericksburg. Beds were comfortable and everything was clean. We loved eating at Leroy’s so don’t pass that up if you come stay here!

This house was super spacious and very well designed! We enjoyed our time! The turn off the main road can be easy to miss but it is super conveniently located nonetheless.

Loved the location in Stonewall. The visit to Weinheimer's market was just a walk away and a real treat! Easy drive to Frederickicksburg with the feeling of being in the country. Very nice visit.
This was a great property for hitting the wine trail on 290. Perfect for our group plenty of room to spread out and all the amenities you need for a weekend. Only wished we actually spent more time there, our schedule was too full for the weekend. Definitely on our repeat visit list!
This property was perfect for us! It's a little ways away from fredericksburg, but the drive was easy to accommodate, and they're multiple Vinyards within 5-10 minutes of the property. I'd definitely stay at the property again.

The house is spacious and clean. It was stocked with everything you need for a weekend getaway. Although the area doesn't have the best view, it is very close to the winery and Fredericksburg.

Right in the middle of the Texas Wine country right between Johnson City and Fredericksburg this was perfect. Not very many restaurants (closest is 20 minutes) so next time we might pack some meals and eat them at this place with some of our new wines from all the tastings!

Thank you for the positive review and we hope you visit again soon.
The property was as described. Very close to lots of wineries. Very well stocked with plenty of kitchen and bath items. The big carports were nice as we had a storm come through and all 4 cars were covered. Great place to hand out and enjoy our family.

House is even better than the pictures! Super cute! The kids had fun in the game room. We stayed here as we were volunteer bottling at Garrison Brothers for the weekend. Less than 15 minutes away from the distillery and only 20 mins away from Fred. Will definitely book again!

So glad you enjoyed your stay. We look forward to having you return to stay with us.
This was the perfect house to spend a relaxing weekend away from the big city. We loved the proximity to some great winery. Our favorite the Rhinory is just over 1 mile away. We enjoyed shopping at the charming store just across the street. Most of all we enjoyed spending time at the house and particularly loved the backyard as we spent a lot of time playing soccer, baseball and cornhole with the kiddos. Wonderful stay. We will rent again.

Thank you.
Overall, the house provided everything we needed. No issues with hot water for everyone’s shower and the water pressure was good. The beds were comfy and the house was stocked well with kitchen utensils. Only complaint is the floors were filthy. They look clean, but We all wore socks the entire time and the bottom of our socks were almost black. We would stay here again!

Loved this location for visiting the wineries. Close to Grape Creek, Slate Theory, William Chris and Hye Meadow. Ubers are available but take a little while to get there so plan ahead.

The place had everything one would need in a B&B. Very comfortable. Only complaint was the placement of the lockbox. It was WAY TOO HIGH UP and no stool to climb upon.

Beautifully updated home located just a short drive outside of Fredricksburg in Stonewall. Our visit was short but very pleasant. I wish we could have stayed longer to enjoy the back yard fire pit, family games, etc. that were provided. Host was easy to work with and the check out requirements are simple-load dishes, take out trash, unlike some rentals i have stayed at in the past that have a long list of things to do. I would recommend this rental!!!

Great communication from the company and very responsive. The house was a great size for a girls’ weekend. Easy check in and check out. The home was clean and met our expectations; however, the water to the house had been shut off due to non-payment. The issue was resolved but there was no offer to compensate for the issue (except a bottle of wine which never happened). Again, great home and location.
