Farmers by occupation, the Metzger family built this little home in town in 1898 to use on the weekends for shopping and attending church and it has been kept in the family ever since. Located just one block south of Main Street in the Historic District, guests will delight in seeing the Metzger Sunday House along with two other original Sunday Houses all lined up in a row.
Typical of the old Sunday Houses, a small covered porch with swing and comfy chair greets you upon arrival. The main room serves double duty as a bedroom and sitting area. A queen-size bed is the focal point of the room. This magnificent bed has been handed down in the family and is topped with a colorful comforter and fluffy pillows. The antique velvet sofa and chair is comfortably arranged around the television.
The kitchen is fully equipped for your use and delightfully appointed with rich, bright colors. A table for four is in the center of this spacious kitchen. The bath has a tub and shower.
Located only a block from Main Street, this special home is easy walking to shopping and churches. In addition, photographers for major publications, such as Texas Highways, frequently use this picturesque home for magazine and newspaper articles and there is even a postcard that can be found locally of it. Furthermore, this home participated in the 150th Fredericksburg Anniversary Tour.

Loved the opportunity to stay in a charming historical home. It was perfect for my husband’s and my visit to Fredericksburg. We were able to walk everywhere!A few minor items, shower curtain liner is ripped, the dish rack has rust spots and stains and the toaster also has a lot of rust.The bed was super comfortable!
The location and size of this property was perfect for what we needed. Check in/out was easy. Only issue is that the front door was sometimes difficult to lock when leaving the property-the lock wanted to get stuck when trying to lock it. Other than that, we had a great stay.
The kitchen could use some updated utensils. The cleanliness in the kitchen could be better. If you check under the stove catch pans, you will see that it has not been cleaned. Baseboards don’t seemed to have been cleaned in a while. Doors need new seals as the cold air and I will assume heat in summer too leaks in. This is the second time we’ve stayed in this Sunday house and we do enjoy it. So maybe I’m a little more critical because I noticed more this second time. It’s a cute place and convenient to town. We love coming to Fredericksburg and the wineries. Foyt wines is our favorite!!
A delightful throwback to simpler times, but with all the amenities you need. We enjoyed reading the family history of the place. Excellent location and a comfortable bed topped it off. Happy to stay there again.
