This place was truly amazing! The cabin itself was a perfect time capsule and the hosts did a great job with the decor. We were greeted by deer every time we were outside. Sitting on the porch watching and listening to wildlife made the weekend getaway relaxing and perfect! And with it being only 5 minutes outside of Fredericksburg made it very convenient too!

Thank you for being a wonderful guest. Please come again.
Beautiful, relaxing, and peaceful. Short drive from Fredericksburg. Easy check in, simple check out. I wished I would have spent more time enjoying the property but shopping/eating/drinking downtown was also fun.

This property was amazing and breathtaking! The story behind the beautiful craftsmanship of the building was also beautiful. I loved that the property was so close to the Main Street and the sights that we wanted to visit and explore. The information that you left for us to make it easier to find restaurants was very helpful. We loved that you were available onsite and just a phone call a way as well. We would most definitely use you again and recommend your property to our family and friends.
