Perfect Little Getaway!!

My friends/coworkers and I had a fabulous time at this property. It was very accommodating and perfect for our weekend getaway! The owners were very helpful with local recommendations for food and wineries. We had a blast sitting by the fire pit and loved the closeness of the property to the city. We will definitely be visiting again! Thanks!

Everything was as advertised and better. House was clean, comfortable and had everything needed. Spent most of our time in the evenings grilling and around the fire pit.

Wonderful stay

We absolutely loved the house, and our family had a wonderful time. The house was extremely clean and roomy, with everything we needed to have a great time. We enjoyed the views from the deck and having a relaxing cup of coffee on the patio while taking in the sunrise over the hills. The stargazing at night was also fantastic. In addition we got to "meet" the horses and chickens that live nearby. This was a fun, super relaxing place to stay, and the owners were friendly and very accommodating. We look forward to coming back in the future.

A wonderful escape from city life

Moonrise retreat was amazing. The views, the night sky, the clean air, the hot tub and fire pit... everything is working for this place. The interior is roomy, cozy, and comfortable. The owners are helpful, friendly, and responsive. We had one little issue (that we caused without knowing) and within minutes they solved it for us. We would love to go again!

Great Location, Quiet, Perfect Amenities

This was the perfect size guest house/cottage for the first night 4 of us & second night 2 of us. There are 2 big bedrooms upstairs which share a bathroom with a jacuzzi tub & sitting area, breakfast, nook, kitchen & bathroom with shower down stairs. There is a great patio both up & downstairs. We grilled one night & went to town the next... It's a 10 min (max) drive to town. I'd definitely recommend this place to a friend!

Serene yet very close to town

My family loved this property. You get to see farm animals, the horses are very friendly, and though it feels you are away from it all, Fredericksburg is 10 mins. away with very direct access. The fridge is stocked with everything you need for breakfast (eggs, milk, bacon, even OJ) and you can tell Laura and Daniel keep the house neat, we didn't see any bugs inside despite being in a ranch. Definitely recommend it.

No hot tub or working water

I have never had a bad experience at a VRBO or B&B but I guess there is a first time for everything. Major amenities which were key to my selection were missing or unusable (hot tub and fire pit) and I was not notified until arrival. Fire ban prevented use of the fire pit but having the common courtesy to notify me at time of booking would have been nice. Additionally, if I’d know there was no hot tub I would have asked for a refund and found another place. Simple as that. Instead I found out on arrival. Further, the cleanliness was subpar (dog pee stains in the upstairs hallways). The property was hodgepodge and rundown for my standards (holes in walls, fixtures ill-installed, curtain holdbacks hanging out of the wall barely attached, etc). Functionality was lacking (low water pressure and a sulphur/sewage smell in the downstairs bedroom shower). In fact we couldn’t even fill the jacuzzi tub half way after 45 mins because the water pressure was so bad. And on Sunday morning while my wife was mid-shower the water stopped working entirely. That’s right—we lacked basic services Sunday morning as we were trying to get ready for Church. I contacted the owner at this point and they did restore water by the time we returned but it’s just not acceptable especially combined with everything else. One or two of these things happen and your shrug your shoulder but paying this much a night for a place so defunct and rundown is simply not ok. Upon return I notified the owner of my complaints thinking the honest criticism would be appreciated and give them an opportunity to rectify several fixable issues. Sadly, it was not. She took my critique personally and told me I was the “second worst guest” they have ever hosted... An almost humorous label since this title is entirely because of my post-stay feedback and had nothing to do with my actual vacation. It’s classic victim blaming... I payed a premium for a subpar rental lacking advertised amenities and had major unjustifiable issues but in her mind I’m the problem in this equation. Not the missing hot tub or the lack of water but my attitude is at fault. Pretty funny how oblivious some people are to reality. To be fair she made some trivial attempts to rectify the hot tub and water problem but when you have so many surprises and issues it becomes an insufficient gesture.

Beautiful Moonrise Retreat!

This beautiful home is aptly named. We watched the moon rise dramatically one night and saw a beautiful sunrise the next morning. So convenient to Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock and so clean and comfortable. This was our second time to stay here--and it will not be our last!

Anniversary get away with best friends!

A beautiful, quiet place to enjoy sitting outdoors. A perfect place to relax as a couple or with others. A little disappointed that Mother Nature didn’t allow us to enjoy a fire in the fire ring but the rules are the rules! Very clean, and comfortable! Watching the wildlife across the fence and the of the sunrise and sunset amazing! We chose not to try out the hot tub but it did look very tempting. Would definitely recommend and stay again!

Beautiful home in the country

What a lovely place to look at the stars and see a beautiful sunrise. It’s only a short jaunt to the historical district in Fredericksburg and Enchanted Rock. And those big beds are so comfortable! We enjoyed grilling, hanging out on the back patio, and relaxing in the hot tub. I have already made a reservation for next year!

Great place and location

The house is exactly as it appears online. The location is very rural, although it’s on 9 minutes from downtown Fredericksburg. Deer and cattle all around, fireflies at night, and no road noise! Perfect place for 6 friends to catch up and use as home base for winery tours.

Moonrise Retreat-Fantastic Time with Family

My 3 grown daughters and I truly enjoyed our time at the Moonrise Retreat. The house was amazing, the view from both the lower and upper decks was fantastic, and the distance from Fredricksburg was perfect (3-4 miles). I would encourage anyone who needs a relaxing. break from the craziness of life to stay, relax and unwind at this beautiful home!

Great place to stay outside of town

This was a perfect place for a couple's getaway to the Fredericksburg area. We had only 2 couples, but could have easily had another couple stay with us at this property...it was very roomy. We loved sitting on the back porch and drinking coffee or relaxing in the evenings. The hot tub was great, and the fire pit was awesome. The beds were super comfy, and the house had all the extra touches that make a vacation rental really great. And it was so quiet out there! It was wonderful to come back to that quiet after spending the days in the busy main Street area.

Fantastic house and location, and a great host!

Five friends and I stayed at Moonrise retreat for a long weekend, and we loved it! The location out in the country was just what we wanted and we loved all the animals around. The house itself was also very nice and very clean, and all the beds were comfortable. Laurie was fabulous and very easy to communicate with both before, during, and after the weekend. I accidentally left an item at the house and she has been very helpful in coordinating to get it back. Between the great house and the great host, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a quiet house within a quick drive of Fredericksburg!
