A Note on Homes with Historic Charm:

As a lovingly preserved 1906 home, you’ll notice unique features like:

* A few minor steps between some rooms

* Original architectural details like raised molding on the floors

These will generally be easy to navigate for most, but please take care when moving throughout the home.

Guests have full access to the main house and exclusive use of the private backyard. A separate, secluded back cottage is not part of the rental and will not interfere with your stay. On very rare occasions, the cottage may be occupied; if so, the driveway is shared.

Other things to note:

We provide a selection of complimentary provisions to help you settle in, including coffee, tea, milk, sugar, paper goods, and essential toiletries.

Supplies are stocked for the average stay; if you need additional items during your visit, an HEB grocery store is conveniently located just minutes away on Adams Street (approximately a 5-minute drive or 20-minute walk).

Please note that charges for your booking may appear under “Warwick Lakeside Holdings” on your credit card statement.

We strive to respond to all messages as promptly as possible. If you do not receive an immediate reply, please know we will follow up as soon as we are available.

The property is limited to the permitted occupancy overnight, and all guests must comply with local regulations. Additional fees or early termination of the stay may apply in cases of damage, excessive mess, or violations.

The pool will begin heating prior to your arrival for your convenience. Please note that water temperature may vary depending on outdoor conditions, especially during colder weather.

Heating requests may be canceled up to 48 hours before check-in for a full refund. After this window, the fee is non-refundable.



7. What is there to do in Fredericksburg?

You’ll be in the heart of Fredericksburg, within walking distance to boutique shops, restaurants, and a variety of wine, beer, and distillery tasting rooms.

Yes, and families are welcome! We offer two pack-and-plays and two booster seats available upon request.

As with any home, adult supervision is required, particularly around balconies, stairs, the pool, hot tub, and fire pit. Please note that, as a historic property, some architectural features—such as balcony railings—may differ from modern standards.



12. What do I need to bring with me for the pool?

Pool towels are provided for your convenience as you enjoy the home’s private, resort-style outdoor space. If you anticipate needing additional towels, you’re welcome to bring extras.

13. Do you allow early check-in or late check-out?

Early check-in and late check-out may be available upon request, depending on availability and same-day turnover.

To ensure the home is prepared to our standards, these options cannot be guaranteed in advance. We’re happy to check availability on the day of your arrival or departure.



14. Why is check-in at 4 PM instead of 3 PM?

Our 4 PM check-in allows our team the time needed to prepare the home to a high standard, ensuring everything is ready for a comfortable and seamless arrival.

Early check-in may be available upon request, depending on availability. If the home is unoccupied the night prior, an earlier arrival may be possible.

The pool measures 15’ x 30’, with depths ranging from approximately 3 to 5 feet, and includes a shallow sun shelf for lounging and relaxation.

Please note that there is no lifeguard on duty. Guests are responsible for supervising children and using the pool and hot tub responsibly.

We were a party of 8 and this place was SUPERB! One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at. The owners were very responsive. The property was clean and neat. The kitchen was stocked with more supplies than we've ever experienced! The beds were SO comfortable. The pool and hottub were a BONUS (again so clean)!! We will want to stay here again if we return with a large group.

This is a beautiful home that is tastefully furnished with a mix of modern furniture and antiques,, and lots of thoughtful touches throughout. It's within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had a bit of an unexpected rainy, cold weekend but the living, dining ,and sitting rooms were the perfect places for the 5 of us to spend time playing board games, sitting and reading, and talking late into the night. The coffee and milk included was very much appreciated. It was a spacious yet cozy place to stay for our girls' weekend in Fredericksburg!

Perfect Stay in Fredericksburg!

Our stay was wonderful—cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. The host was exceptionally friendly, and the thoughtful touches, especially the delicious cookies, made it truly feel like a home away from home. Highly recommended!

This home exceeded our expectations in every way. We had a group of six and the property was spacious, comfortable, and incredibly well appointed.The kitchen deserves special recognition — the cookware, appliances, utensils, and overall setup were outstanding. It's rare to find a vacation rental stocked this thoughtfully, and it made meals and gathering together effortless.The bathrooms were beautifully finished and felt upscale and spa-like.Of course, the star of the property was the pool and hot tub area. We used them every day during our stay and they truly elevated the entire experience. Whether relaxing in the evenings or starting the morning by the pool, it became our favorite part of the house.This was the perfect home base for our Fredericksburg trip, and we would gladly book again.

Beautifully appointed property and delightful stay. They thought of everything and we didn't event use all of the spaces. We had six adult high school friends reuniting and we all LOVED the Gold Haus. Beds were comfortable, lovely linens/robes/towels, good bathrooms, cozy gathering place, well appointed kitchen. All round fabulous stay. Each of us are planning to return with our own families. It will be great for adults and all the way to grandkids. Plus you can bring your dog!

We had the most amazing bachelorette weekend at this beautiful Fredericksburg home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how thoughtfully and exceptionally appointed the house is—truly everything you could possibly need is provided, and then some.The new pool and hot tub were absolute highlights of our stay. We highly recommend having them heated—it made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy them day and night. Such a fun and relaxing way to spend time together.The location could not be better. We loved being able to walk downtown easily, which made exploring Fredericksburg so convenient and stress-free for the whole group.This home was the perfect setting for our celebration—comfortable, beautiful, and ideal for making memories. Every single one of us had a fantastic time, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend this property for a girls’ trip, bachelorette weekend, or any group getaway!
