Why this property?
When looking for property to purchase, we immediately fell in love with the grounds and the comfortable feel of the property. Ava Haus represented the authentic heritage of what has been so lovingly preserved in the city of Fredericksburg. Also, the location is perfect for us.
It is away from the center of town yet close enough to be in Fredericksburg in less than 3 minutes.
Ava Haus allows guests to enjoy the benefits of the country and still be minutes from wineries, shopping, restaurants and the natural parks of the area. Guests can have a true feel for the history of the region when they stay in an authentic German homestead complete with the original well, thick limestone walls and even the original root cellar where the pioneers stayed during times of danger. At Ava Haus we welcome your entire family to include children and pets.

Cute intimate cottage stay

We loved Patty's little cottage. It was cozy and super cute, just big enough for us and our 2 dogs. She was very friendly coming by once a day to check and make sure everything was ok. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again when we are in town.

Nice and Cozy

The property is better than advertised. It's a very quaint cabin that was perfect for what we needed. I liked that it was outside of town but yet close enough to be able to get to anything that we needed. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit and would highly recommend it to me friends.

Fredericksburg Wine Tour

This is our 2nd year staying at this beautiful little cottage. We take a yearly wine trip for my husband's birthday and when we stayed here the first time, we were so taken by its charm and the cottage decor. It's perfect for a little weekend getaway and very close to Main St. It's always so clean and welcoming. We hope to stay here every year.

Good location. Good value. As described.

We were only there one day and it served our purposes quite nicely. They had snacks for us and the “instructions” are simple and reasonable. The mattress could use some updating, my only minor comment.

About the host

Hosted by Patricia Hamilton

Host profile image
Hello and Welcome!

We are Tava and Patricia Hamilton. Married since 1996; we share 3 beautiful children, their spouses, and 5 fantastic grandchildren.

Moving from Central Texas in 2017, we were given the opportunity to purchase an incredible 1862 authentic German Homestead that includes the first hand dug well in FBG, and the first Dairy Barn!

Attracted to the tranquil setting, beauty, history, and convenient access to town, we couldn’t refuse. On 7/17/17, we purchased the property!

Everyday we are thankful to live here. It is truly a charmed life. We are grateful to be sharing our place with you, family, and friends. Welcome to our Farm!
