Wonderful Getaway

I had a fabulous time. The property is rustic. That adds to the charm. It was neat and clean. The heater works wonderfully. The owners left me little notes that were oh so helpful hints. The hot tub was nice and warm and clean. Overall it was just a wonderful time.

Wonderful!

We had the best stay at the August Schmidt cottage! It was so beautiful inside and out, with lots of thoughtful touches. Mike is a kind and responsive host. If you’re in the Fredericksburg area you should absolutely stay here! We can’t recommend it enough!

GREAT VACATION!!

We had a fantastic time. The house was comfortable and quiet. It reminded both of us of our grandparents homes. It was almost like spending the weekend with granny. The location is great. Near town, but far enough to be quiet and dark. Watching the stars from the private hot tub while sipping wine is magnificent. We had a minor glitch with the hot tub, but Mike took care of it long before we needed it. Mike is a GREAT host. I definitely would recommend staying here.

Weekend getaway

Our stay at the August Schmidt cottage was Amazing! This intimate space was very cozy and the view of the country was priceless! Our host was such a joy and a gentleman. He definitely set the tone by jump starting our adventure with a bottle of wine and ending it with fresh eggs straight from his free range chickens. The place was well stocked and furnished and was decorated with interesting antique decor. The bed slept comfortably especially after our rendezvous on Main Street. We can't rate this place high enough. All we can sincerely express is that we look forward to visiting the August Schmidt cottage again in the near future! Thank You MR. MIKE for such a lovely experience!!!

Relaxing Birthday Weekend

This lovely place is quiet. The bed was so comfortable. Everything we could possibly need was there. Mike, the owner was so very kind. We enjoyed our time in the hot tub and looking at the stars. Good hot water and pressure in the shower. We couldn't figure out how to work the Dish Tv, but that's just operator error....didn't need to be watching anyway when there is so much beauty outside like the baby lamb I got to pet.

Perfect weekend getaway

This was the perfect weekend getaway. The property is out in the country to be able to enjoy the peace and quiet but close enough to the main attractions to not have to drive far. The abundance of deer was amazing! The rustic decor and old farmhouse setting was just as interesting as shown in the pictures. Mike was wonderful. He left us with a bottle of wine on our arrival and fresh eggs upon departing. He even provided us with a wonderful dinner location. We will definitely book again when we want a weekend getaway!

Cute and quiet place

This is a very cute place! Less than 10 min from Main Street. Far enough away to be secluded, but a short drive to town! There was miscommunication between the owner and rental property, so the owner was not aware of us coming. Which would explain the bathroom floor a little dirty, and lightbulbs that were out. The light bulbs that did work were very dim. I had to use my flashlight on my phone a lot if I was looking for something. But at the same time makes it very cozy. The ceiling fans had quite a bit of dust on them, so I didn’t want to use them. But the best part was sitting in the hot tub at night under the stars! That was incredible! I recommend staying here. I assume there will be better communication in the future and the place will look a little better when you arrive. Thanks for a great stay!

Holiday Get Away

We were so pleased with our choice of the August Schmidt Cottage. While very busy in Fredericksburg, it was so relaxing to return in just minutes to the cottage, to the quiet of the country and the beautiful starry nights above the hot tub. We had everything we needed to enjoy our stay from a well equipped kitchen, to a comfortable bedroom and updated bath, to a living room with wonderful old pictures, books, and travel guides. We even took Mike's advise on the restaurants and were not disappointed. And to top it off, we had farm fresh eggs to enjoy with our coffee on the front porch!

A Beautiful Escape to Hill Country

My husband and I stayed here as a little weekend getaway and it was perfect. The house is beautifully maintained while still feeling rustic and unique, the property is lovely and very close to town (though we chose to stay here for the peace and quiet) and the hot tub under the stars at night was amazing. The owner, Mike, came by to make sure everything was ok upon our arrival and left us eggs from his chickens before we left. While we were there, a strong cold front blew through, but the house stayed perfectly cozy. Would absolutely stay here again!

Anniversary Trip

Nice place to stay - we did have some problems with the hot tub and it didn't work the first couple of nights, but the owner stayed on top of it and got it fixed for us to have at least one night to enjoy it. And gave us a bottle of wine and dozen fresh eggs for our troubles. Really nice guy. Nice quiet place to stay.

A Little Piece of Heaven

We were originally scheduled to be in NYC on Nov 6 and 7 2021. For a lot of reasons, mainly New York just ain't Texas, we decided to cancel the NYC trip and go to the Texas Hill Country instead. We were blessed to be able to book the "August Schmidt" house in Fredericksburg, Tx for our trip. This is an absolutely fabulous property. It is a little east and north of Fredericksburg nestled on a beautiful ranch. Deer are abundant. If you want a beautiful one bedroom home for an absolutely peaceful getaway look no further. You will love it. We have found our forever place to stay in Fredericksburg!!!
