August Schmidt
We loved our stay at August Schmidt. We have stayed here several times before. It is incredibly peaceful and quaint. We did not use the hot tub this visit but have used it in the past. We will definitely come back
Quiet and serene. The spa was private and romantic.

Rustic Cottage
My boyfriend and I had a wonderful stay at this charming country cottage. The home had a cozy, rustic feel and was the perfect size for two. The grounds were absolutely beautiful — we loved sitting on the porch and spotting some of the local wildlife. It’s an ideal choice for anyone seeking a peaceful country escape while still being just a short drive from downtown Fredericksburg.
Nice quiet country place that allows you to get away and enjoy nature. House was as listed and had no issues with check in or during the stay. Would go back again the next time we are in town.
Was a quick trip to visit a dear friend. The house was clean and private and secure. I’d recommend this place to anyone looking for a nice country getaway
We had a great time. The house reminded my wife and I of our grandmother's homes. Excellent communication and help from the owner. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!!

Romantic Getaway
Was a perfect setting for a getaway
Everything was exactly like the pictures and info made it out to be. I’d recommend this house to anyone who wants to be in the country yet close to all the amenities of urban living.
We had the best stay at the August Schmidt cottage! It was so beautiful inside and out, with lots of thoughtful touches. Mike is a kind and responsive host. If you’re in the Fredericksburg area you should absolutely stay here! We can’t recommend it enough!
I had a fabulous time. The property is rustic. That adds to the charm. It was neat and clean. The heater works wonderfully. The owners left me little notes that were oh so helpful hints. The hot tub was nice and warm and clean. Overall it was just a wonderful time.
House clean
Host responsive
Lighting in house needs improvement
Hot tub had too much chlorine so we only used it once
For the price you didn’t get much
This lovely place is quiet. The bed was so comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was there. Mike, the owner was so very kind. We enjoyed our time in the hot tub and looking at the stars. Good hot water and pressure in the shower. We couldn't figure out how to work the Dish Tv, but that's just operator error....didn't need to be watching anyway when there is so much beauty outside like the baby lamb I got to pet.

GREAT VACATION!!
We had a fantastic time. The house was comfortable and quiet. It reminded both of us of our grandparents homes. It was almost like spending the weekend with granny. The location is great. Near town, but far enough to be quiet and dark. Watching the stars from the private hot tub while sipping wine is magnificent. We had a minor glitch with the hot tub, but Mike took care of it long before we needed it. Mike is a GREAT host. I definitely would recommend staying here.
Our stay at the August Schmidt cottage was Amazing! This intimate space was very cozy and the view of the country was priceless! Our host was such a joy and a gentleman. He definitely set the tone by jump starting our adventure with a bottle of wine and ending it with fresh eggs straight from his free range chickens. The place was well stocked and furnished and was decorated with interesting antique decor. The bed slept comfortably especially after our rendezvous on Main Street. We can't rate this place high enough. All we can sincerely express is that we look forward to visiting the August Schmidt cottage again in the near future! Thank You MR. MIKE for such a lovely experience!!!
The property exceeded our expectations! Peaceful, quiet location. Close to all things!
Mike was a wonderful host! We look forward to our next trip to Fair Haven Ranch.
This is our 4th time at this property……love the house , hot tub and fresh country air. Everything sparkling clean and property manager very accommodating. Can’t wait for our next visit!
I cannot say enough! A unique property with an authentic farmhouse. It was very quiet, perfectly stocked and the property manager went above and beyond! The hot tub, front porch swing and relaxing atmosphere made this my favorite place to stay in FB! We can’t wait to come back!
This was the perfect weekend getaway. The property is out in the country to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough to the main attractions to not have to drive far. The abundance of deer was amazing! The rustic decor and old farmhouse setting was just as interesting as shown in the pictures. Mike was wonderful. He left us with a bottle of wine on our arrival and fresh eggs upon departing. He even provided us with a wonderful dinner location. We will definitely book again when we want a weekend getaway!
This is a very cute place! Less than 10 min from Main Street. Far enough away to be secluded, but a short drive to town! There was miscommunication between the owner and rental property, so the owner was not aware of us coming. Which would explain the bathroom floor a little dirty, and lightbulbs that were out. The light bulbs that did work were very dim. I had to use my flashlight on my phone a lot if I was looking for something. But at the same time makes it very cozy. The ceiling fans had quite a bit of dust on them, so I didn’t want to use them. But the best part was sitting in the hot tub at night under the stars! That was incredible! I recommend staying here. I assume there will be better communication in the future and the place will look a little better when you arrive. Thanks for a great stay!
