We loved hosting your girls weekend at Sweet Escape! I’m so glad you loved the house and hope y’all will come stay with us again on your next trip to Fredericksburg!
The house was even better than expected!! Jill was great at communicating and offering assistance and recommendations. The kids loved the loft room and yard. They spent a lot of time enjoying the pool and the adults loved the outdoor seating and fire pit. Excellent place for family or group trips. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Lots of floats and pool toys were an unexpected bonus. Highly recommend and would stay again.
We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Sweet Escape! The home was exactly as described—clean, beautifully decorated, and perfectly sized for our group of 7. It's a historic home with ceiling to floor huge windows. We spent hours in the heated pool/hot tub which was clean and well-maintained. We also loved the extra touches like the pool floats and the well-stocked kitchen. We even received a delicious charcuterie board from the host Jill! Another great touch was there were fresh flowers throughout the home - we loved that! They have a pool table we utilized nightly. And the best part - it's close to everything! Jill, our host was very communicative and made check-in and check-out a breeze. We would most definitely stay here again!
