Thank you, Elizabeth, for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the communication, location, and safe yard for your fur babies. Your feedback means a lot to us, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon!
The house was clean, well arranged, the neighborhood was quiet, close to main street and felt safe. The coffee & tea selections were an appreciated bonus!
Had a great stay in Fredericksburg. We hiked a lot, about 25 minutes from Enchanted Rock. Note: no ice maker, so bring ice for hiking water. A little tricky to back out of the gate as Sherriff’s SUV was right across the street. Well stocked for cooking. HVAC and hot water were good. Sprinklers were fairly noisy, but overall great location and comfortable home.

Thank you Kathie so much for staying with us! We're really glad you had a great trip and were able to enjoy the home and the location especially being close to Enchanted Rock.
We also appreciate you sharing those helpful notes about the ice, gate access, and sprinklers. Feedback like this is really useful for both us and future guests, and we’ll definitely take a closer look at those details. We'd love to host you again on your next visit!
The home was clean and tidy. I do feel all bedrooms need a door . I also received a code for the door but not the gate and had a brief issue trying to gain access to parking. Overall the stay was nice and the property is great.

Thank you, Saylor, for your feedback. We’re glad to hear you enjoyed your stay and found the home clean and comfortable. We appreciate you bringing the gate access and bedroom privacy concerns to our attention, and your comments have been shared with our team for review. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back in the future.
The home was warm and inviting. Our dog loved the large fenced yard. I really liked the security gated driveway. The location was great in a quiet neighborhood close to all main roads but far enough away to not have any of the traffic. We will definitely stay here again when in Fredricksburg. Really nice rooms with plenty of space for all.
Charming, very clean home in a quiet neighborhood. Elderly family member was able to navigate throughout the home with ease. Check in /out with host was A. Will definitely return and stay in this home again.

Such a cute little house. Feels very open and warm and inviting. Location cannot be beat. You could probably walk to everything if you wanted to. But a short drive if you don't want to. Would absolutely stay again.
What a great place to stay. Stephanie truly thinks about everything from the snacks to the kitchen to the bathroom. It is such a cute place and great location. Communication is great-easy check-in and check-out.
This is a very nice property for families and their pets. It is clean, convenient and comfortable. The host provided thoughtful and helpful amenities that improved our stay. We would definitely stay there again.
We had the best stay…. The house was perfect, clean, so well stocked and convenient for all we needed! Highly recommend this for anyone staying in Fredericksburg!!
