Be sure to venture into downtown Fredericksburg, where you will find excellent restaurants, tasting rooms, antique shops, and historic sites.

Things to Know
We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels worldwide. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally, a decorative top sheet. Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.
The fireplace is not operational.

Cute rustic farmhouse vibe, and very clean. It lacked some easy to fix items. The front door window looks right into the bedroom to the bed - it needs a curtain. We taped up some paper for privacy. The bathroom has no vent fan, and that would be OK but the window has no screen so you can't leave it open. A functional can opener would be nice, as would some dish cloths & paper towels. There were only a few hangers in the closet, and for 2 people staying 4 nights it was totally insufficient. There needs to be a small chest of drawers for small travel items (socks, underwear etc). I think if the owner spent a week "vacationing" there while cooking & cleaning up he would quickly see and fix the deficiencies. I have stayed at other VRBOs and B&Bs, and this one needs a little help.

Perfect house! (Management needs improvement)

Loved the house! This quaint gem is Fredericksburg perfection. The owner did a lovely job restoring and furnishing it. The management company, however, needs to step-up their game a little. We were served spoilt creamer, the tv reception wasn't happening, and we were denied checking in a mere fifteen minutes early. To top it off, the sprinkler system was set to come on around 8:30am, right during our checkout and on the front path.

Great Stay

My mom and I took my daughter to Fredericksburg for a girls trip and this location was wonderful. There was a large yard and the house was in a great location. Quick drive to the Main Street and the H‑E‑B. Lost Draw Cellars was easily walking distance.

A great find!

We loved our stay. The house was clean, well-appointed with all the amenities we could ask for, and perfect for our needs. As a bonus, it was ideally-suited; an easy walk from downtown, and the HEB grocery store was just a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great property, original late 1800 floors! Cosmos Cottage is cute and romantic while big enough for separate space as well. We will definitely be back.

Perfectly Charming

This house was absolutely lovely. It’s the sweetest little cottage with plenty of room for 2 people. If you love older houses with a great outdoor area and lots of character, you’ll love this place. It’s well taken care of and all the plants and flowers outside make it feel incredibly homey. We didn’t cook while we were there but the kitchen was well stocked. It had a coffee pot and even stocked with coffee, creamer and sugar! The property manager was super quick to respond to anything we needed and all the info was super helpful. We even got the privilege of meeting the owner who is the sweetest woman ever. She was coming over to watch the flowers as we were walking in and you could tell she put a lot of love into this house. We’ll definitely be coming back if we can.

We needed a place to escape from the heat of Houston and found this place. It was peaceful and quiet, but not far from anything. We appreciated having washer and dryer in-house. If we make it back, we would stay here again.
