Second Home Guesthouse | 1.5 Blocks from Marktplatz | Hot Tub
Just two blocks from Main Street, many locals and visitors have coveted this impressive two-story home over the years. Built in the late 1800s, Sussie Staudt lived in the house until 1990. A few years later the home was sold and renovated as a guesthouse. A large front porch with rockers has been restored with gingerbread to bring back the original look. The colors inside have kept with German tradition by declaring each room's personality painting with a different color and tying them together with red and deep blue. Pine floors and fabulous antiques are displayed both upstairs and down.
The living room has a warm, rich red gingham sofa comfortably arranged for TV viewing. These same colors are carried into the master bedroom. A grey tufted King bed is topped with white and red bedding and an assortment of fluffy pillows. The upstairs is a spacious pristine white bedroom full of color and warmth. A queen bed is decked with red, white and blue quilts and spiced with red gingham ruffles and curtains. To tie in with this traditional Fredericksburg look, there's an oversized chair adorned in red gingham to relax or read in.
In the back of the house is a kitchen equipped for light cooking. White tile backdrops and countertops and an array of decorative tiles enrich the pine cabinets.
The home has been lovingly renovated and decorated. Each room is furnished with wonderful antiques and has original pine floors and area rugs. The rooms are bright and cheerful and much thought has been given to guests' needs.
The outdoor space is equally enticing with a pleasant backyard, charcoal grill (charcoal not provided), and firepit (wood not provided). There is also a Level 2 EV charger conveniently located right next to the driveway.
Trek Enchanted Rock, hike, bike, shop till you drop, stroll through the garden or sit on the front porch, rock and just be. Enjoy!

Location is outstanding, you can walk everywhere if desired and it’s on a quiet street. We loved morning coffee on the front patio and the hot tub as well!
Cool home in a nice and quiet neighborhood. Very close to Main but not too close. Would recommend.

Good Stay
We had a great Christmas in Fredericksburg. The house is the same as the picture. Loved the location. Everything we needed was in walking distance. The house was clean and comfortable. The communication with Gastehaus was perfect. We enjoyed this house so much and we will be back again. Thanks for everything!
The house was in a great location and had everything we needed for our stay. It was clean and everything seemed in working order. Since there was only two of us, we didn't use the upstairs area. We walked to shops and restaurants, which was nice because parking can be a problem in town. I had a couple questions before our stay and host answered very quickly. The driveway is rather narrow so a full-sized truck may have problems, but the street is wide and parking in front is not a problem. The hot tub was a good size for 2 people but 4 might find it a tight fit. We didn't use the fire pit or grill, but the backyard was nice sized. I would stay there again.

Overall great location, loved the hot tub and fenced in yard. Nice touch was the little snack basket and waters/soda in the fridge. If I would recommend one thing it would be to give us access to the washer and dryer as we had two kids and it rained causing us to get socked and couldn't dry our clothes anywhere
The green house was perfect for sisters weekend. Bonus to have hot tub. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The local info books were nice addition
We will absolutely come back it’s perfect for a family of 4!

Disliked: Communication
The property looks old. It is at corner and we heard the traffic at night. If one person makes phone call at night, the whole house can hear. No sound proof at all.
