The area was absolutely beautiful!! It’s only about 20 minutes from downtown Fredericksburg so it was perfect! We woke up on our last morning to the cows in the front yard and it was such a beautiful way to end our stay!! Couldn’t recommend this place more!

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.

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!

Excellent Getaway Spot

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.
