Texas Wine Country

We had such a wonderful stay at this property. It was so clean, tastefully decorated and walking distance from main street Fredericksburg. The kitchen had everything you need and the beds were very comfortable. Highly recommend if you’re visiting Fredericksburg.

Family get together

We met my father in law in Fredericksburg for a weekend visit. Location was very good for places we wanted to visit. The two cottages were perfect for our needs.
