Best Stay Ever!!!

This cute cottage was the perfect setting for our anniversary getaway. It was cozy, yet spacious, felt very private, was super clean, and had everything we needed. We really liked all of the windows letting in natural light. We enjoyed nights outside watching the sunset by the fire pit, and morning coffee with the sheep. The property is situated on the most beautiful acreage. It really is country living at its best, yet only a few minutes to Main Street. The king sized bed was very comfortable, the rain shower was a nice touch, and the butler’s pantry was stocked with everything one could need. The homemade banana bread was the best we’ve ever had! We had planned to spend more time out & about doing things, but once we were settled in the cottage, we didn’t want to leave. Darla really thought of every little detail. We’re already looking at dates for our next stay there. My husband & I were talking about how we’d love to keep this place “our little secret”, but it’s just too wonderful to keep to ourselves. :)

Lovely Cottage

The cottage was lovely! Bright and comfortable and private. It was a great getaway from the bustle of town yet still so close to everything! The sheep were great neighbors! I would highly recommend this property and would stay there again when we return to Fredericksburg. I would recommend a night light for the bathroom as it does get very dark out there!

Cute Place

We did enjoy our stay, however, a couple of things would have made it much better. There is no place to put you clothes, like a chest with drawers and no hooks in the bathroom to hang a cosmetic bag. The TV was about the size of our computer screen. It was clean and very cute and quiet. Thank you.

The property is very cute!! Love how my cottage was decorated. The location was very peaceful and you felt like you were “getting away”, but also close enough to Main Street. The owners are friendly and communicate well with you. They are also very assessable if you need anything during your stay. The amount of effort that they put into making you fell welcome is amazing and greatly appreciated. The banana bread and homemade granola, along with a stocked fridge of necessities is true hospitality. I would defiantly stay here again! The bed was amazing If I have to find any complaint it would be the size of the tv, it’s the size of a computer monitor! People like to watch tv at night or when it’s raining ;) Thank you for a great stay Mike and Darla!

Perfect Stay Close to Main Street

My husband and I loved stayed here. The house was perfect for us. The house is easily accessed from the road and was set up comfortably and beautifully. We liked how close it was to Main Street (5min) drive without being in any hustle and bustle. It had the perfect country getaway feel with all of the amenities of being close to town.

Perfectly Charming!

We are so thankful to Darla and Mike for sharing this charming space with us. The house was very clean, and the thoughtful details made us feel welcomed and at home. The back porch provided a perfect view for enjoying morning coffee or an evening drink. The property is nestled just far enough away from downtown to give a rural feel while remaining just a quick drive to Main Street. We hope to be back soon!

About the host

Hosted by Darla + Mike Smith

We are Mike and Darla Smith, and we live nearby in the property's 50's farm house. Both of our families live in and around Fredericksburg, and we feel incredibly blessed to call this place home! We have four children -- three grown kids and a fun little six year old who has been a champ as we've built these guest houses!

Why they chose this property

Mike bought the property in 1999 from the Pfiester family, who were one of the original German families to settle Fredericksburg. As families arrived to the area in the mid-1800s, the German Emigration Company gave them a "townlot" and an "outlot" (just outside of town) which they could farm. As you've probably guessed, our property was Outlot 201. Mike was lured by the property's tranquil setting and convenient access to town. He also loved that the property was still surrounded by other member's the Pfiester family.

In January 2010, we were married; and that December, we welcomed our young son, Parker (Darla's maiden name). Though Darla had a charming 1920's cottage in town, there was no question that this was going to be our home -- we both loved it so much.

When we decided to add the guest houses, we knew we wanted to celebrate all of the families who've enjoyed living on Outlot 201 through the years. So, each house has been named accordingly -- Pfiester, Smith and Parker!

What makes this property unique

Every day, we feel thankful to live in Fredericksburg. It truly is a charmed life, and we know we are blessed to call this place home. Over the years, we've enjoyed sharing our home with family and friends, largely because the property offers such a pretty pastoral setting. We love how we feel a world away from it all -- yet we can hit the bank, the post office AND pick up a gallon of milk, then be back home in 20 minutes! :-) We felt visitors to the guest houses would really appreciate having the best of both worlds as well -- a quiet, country setting just minutes away from all Fredericksburg has to offer.
