We loved staying here for our girls trip! It was such a cute and comfortable home. We especially enjoyed the hot tubs and watching movies out on the patio. We will definitely stay here again for our next girls trip to Fredericksburg!

It’s just THE BEST when guests get to really enjoy their time with us making sweet memories. We hope you’ll come again.
Was nice and clean. Very cute home, loved the oldness of the home and that it was pet friendly. We only had a small issue with tiny gnats/bugs we had to get off the bed sheets.

Hi Debbie,
Thank you for the kind review! We're so glad you enjoyed the charm and cleanliness of the home, and that the pet-friendly setup was a highlight of your stay.
We're sorry to hear about the issue with the gnats. The home is professionally treated for pests on a monthly basis, but being an older home and depending on the season, occasional bugs can still find their way in. We would’ve been more than happy to take care of it during your stay had we known.
We take feedback like this seriously and always inspect and treat the unit again when anything is reported, so we truly appreciate you bringing it to our attention. It helps us ensure future guests have the best possible experience. We'd love to welcome you back anytime!
The accomadations were GREAT. Very clean and the 2 bedrooms and 2 full baths were more than enough for 4 girls. The hot tub was nice too. Would definitely recommend this place. Close to town.

Liked: Cleanliness, location, listing accuracy
Disliked: Check-in, communication
Very comfortable beds
My only complaint was that the check-in instructions weren't easy to locate via e-mail. When I tried to call the property management they were closed at 5pm. All in all it took an hour to get in.

Hi Kelli,
Thank you for your review. I'm sorry you had trouble locating your check in information, and had trouble reaching the office after hours. We do have a line for our in-stay guests, and we do not show a record of a voicemail left so we could reach back out to you - regardless, I'm sorry for that inconvenience.
