The Verbo we rented was exceptionally clean. Owner made sure all needs were met. Goodies, chips etc were available on the coffee table , which were appreciated after our long drive. The deco was exceptional sweet the bored out the large windows. I’d love to return when we have more time to make use of the home longer.

Beautiful home with excellent views. Very comfortable stay. We really appreciated the quick and easy communication with the host. It had everything we needed for our trip. Hot tub was easy to use and just what we needed at end of the day. One tiny complaint was the dust that was falling down from the fan in the kitchen. Huge chucks of dust were falling everywhere and onto the table we were eating at. Also the air vent in middle of the house is very dusty as well. Hopefully a quick wipe down of theses areas will make someones next stay perfect! Thank you again

Accommodations were exceptional! Vickie was so easy to work with and super fast to respond. I’ve been to several VRBO properties, and don’t feel as though I’ve ever had such spot on descriptions of the property, detailed instructions on how to get to the property, and amenities available. Vickie, we appreciate you very much, and feel so blessed you shared your little slice of heaven with us!

We had an awesome time spending a couple nights at this place. It's about 25min from Fredericksburg, but worth staying at for the space and views. I do recommend looking ahead on how to get there.

The photos do not do this place justice. Vickie and Don were beyond hospitable upon our arrival. They have the most beautiful property and guest home. The amount of intention Vickie put into decorating the guest house shows and you’ll feel at home as soon as you step inside. We enjoyed our coffee on our private porch and watched as deer and goats explored in the distance. We intend to come back here again before we move out of state at the end of the year.
