It felt like my late grandmother's home, so very cozy and inviting. Will definitely stay here again. Didn't have any coffee to go cups only lids but that was okay. A very nice place. Will be back again.
This was the best vrbo I’ve rented. It was so nice and clean and the furnishings and decor were absolutely adorable! Easy access to downtown but far enough away to avoid crowds and noise. Highly recommend!
We enjoyed our stay. The location is perfect; the house is ideal for a small family or even for a couple. The bathroom is super spacious, and in general, everything is very comfortable.

Thank you for the 5 star review! Please come see us again! You are welcome anytime!
We enjoyed the cute yellow house! Location was great and we were very comfortable! We couldn’t get the tv to work but other than that it was as perfect!
Charming older home with plenty of character and new appliances. Spacious bathroom with very well selected upgrades. The online photos do not do it justice. A few minutes drive to Main Street. Will definitely stay here again.

Great guest, would host them again! Please come see us anytime!
Super cute home, easy access to everything Fredericksburg has to offer. Next door to a restaurant. Comfy couch, perfect size for me, my spouse and one of my friends. Favorite part: the bathroom. Thank you for having local soaps and lotions, we had to go shopping for some on our way home!

Awesome Althea
This cozy cottage a few blocks off Main delivers the best combination of antiques, comfort & modern conveniences. We chose Althea because of the pet friendly option, which is excellent, but they offer so much more. Kitchen and bathroom are roomy with everything we needed. I appreciate that the towels, bath mat and robes are thick, luxurious high quality and beds are super comfy. They even left snacks! Very nice, highly recommend!
The house is cute, comfortable beds and living room couch. Nice size kitchen and large bathroom. They had a coffee pot but no tea kettle or small pot to heat tea. The reason for 4 stars was it was on a major road and you can hear the road noise. There was also a very busy restaurant next door. My bedroom was next to the restaurant and Main road. Thankfully, I had packed a noise machine which helped some. I totally missed it, but did not have a washer, dryer or dishwasher. These are common in every house I have ever rented so just didn’t think about it. It rained so drying wet clothes before packing would have been nice.

I liked the home. Did not like location. Noisy street traffic and cafe next door. Some cafe customers parked in our parking lot. Also, at the cafe, either customers or employees stood around in the cafe’s parking lot after 10 pm and talked loudly.

The house was very nice. We had one of our party get sick so we had to leave early.

Nice Stay
We needed handicap access and Althea was a nice place to stay. The walk in shower and large rooms provided access. I loved the supplies provided from bathroom to cooking, it made it a nice home away from home. We did not know the house was on a major road thru town but we closed doors and rarely heard the traffic at night. Everything was clean.
The water for the coffee needed a new filter.
It would be helpful to add a horizontal bar in the shower on the side opposite the area to walk in and a bar at the side of the toilet. You would not be able to claim ADA assessable due to the door thresholds, but we were able to get over the humps.
When we come again, we will definitely see if Althea is available.
This house was fantastic and perfect for our needs! My mom and I were in town for a bachelorette party, but stayed separately from the group. The location is fantastic. It's possible to walk to Main St from the house; however, we chose to drive. It's very easy driving distance to the wineries off of 290. The house itself is so well-maintained and the decor is adorable! It has a really nice soaking tub and open shower. The retro appliances and kitchen is awesome! So fun! We appreciated the snacks they provided at check in too. It's shockingly quiet considering it's off the main road. I was actually in the front bedroom and slept great! Beds are extremely comfortable. The host communicated clearly with check in and check out instructions through VRBO's messaging. There's also a book with check in/out instructions and recommended restaurants/wineries. We would love to stay here again! Thank you so much!

No receptacles worked in the tv room except tv. The lamp bulb was burned out. There needs to be a small lamp in entry hall for evening arrival. The bathrobes in bathroom should have been white and they looked not clean and including white kitchen towel that wasn’t white anymore. On street so property was noisey, it was accommodating for us as we didn’t spend much time there.
