The home was just absolutely beautiful, a true oasis in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas. And Jill, our host, could not have been more accommodating. This was an annual college reunion my buddies have been doing for over two decades, all of us being Fightin’ Texas Aggies. Jill even left us a Texas A&M cookie cake as a little welcome treat!

Wow! We were so impressed by our stay -- both the property and host are absolutely top tier! We loved the historic charm of the home and it's close proximity to Main Street. We hosted a girls weekend bachelorette trip and EVERYONE was so impressed with the attention to detail, coziness, and amazing outdoor space. The host even brought an extra Chili Pot for us when we asked if the home had one. Absolutely amazing, 10/10 experience! We all can't wait to book again, thank you so much!!

Historic Fredericksburg

This property was a perfect spot for our long weekend getaway. The home delivered what had been promised and more. We relaxed in the pool and enjoyed the beautiful yard. The location is ideal to enjoy all the offerings in the area from hiking Enchanted Rock, picking fruit in a nearby orchard, wine tasting and of course enjoying the town. We started every day with an easy walk to Main Street to try a different coffee shop. We even squeezed in an evening ghost tour. All of this while having plenty of time to relax, cook and play games in this beautiful home. We will be back.

Post Christmas Stay

A lovely home in a beautiful setting. We loved this house, it was clean well stocked (so much coffee) and a great layout. We enjoyed the hot tub, the billiards, and the patio. The dining table fit us all and it was not a bad walk to main street. Would def stay again!

Beautiful Property Close to Main

Loved our stay…plenty of room to spread out. :) House sits on far end of west side of town which technically is walkable to Main St; however, most of the shops we visited were on other side of Main making a car ride necessary to carry all of our loot . :) Definitely will stay again. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your lovely home.
