Authentic German Sunday House! Location, Outdoor Fireplace & Upscale Decor!
Up to four can enjoy this quiet amenity-rich, centrally located home with a back yard laden with ivy-covered trees. Historic Sunday House, quiet but conveniently located to the town's attractions within walking distance. Well-equipped kitchen for cooking needs as well as an outdoor barbecue grill. Secluded back yard includes an outdoor fireplace with comfortable Adirondack chairs for relaxing lounging. High-speed wifi internet provided, along with cable TV. Decorated in a sophisticated style reminiscent of Architectural Digest.
Flagstone Sunday House was built around 1900. The German Emigration Company issued lot number 369 to Maria Elisa Dattner in the latter part of 1846. The house was completely restored and decorated for use as a bed and breakfast cottage in 2011. While respecting all of the historical importance of the house, no stone has been left unturned when it comes to providing guests with all the touches today's travelers enjoy.
You will appreciate the smart style and attention to detail as soon as you open the front door The front room, an enclosed sleeping porch, offers two built-in twin beds, perfect for turning a trip for two into a getaway for three or four! Next you enter the gracious den which boasts sophisticated style reminiscent of Architectural Digest! Above the drawing table you will find a unique touch…the white guest board, a large framed artist's message board for you to share a drawing, a kind word, a poem or just a passing thought with the owners and future guests. What a fun touch, particularly since the owner is an artist!
The downstairs also offers a full kitchen and dining area, plus a bathroom with a charming tiled shower. Upstairs is the main king-sized bedroom, clothed in a soothing white color scheme. The bathroom for this bedroom is at the bottom of the stairs. (Keep in mind that part of this home's charm is its multi-level design…BUT that does mean authentic, slightly narrow stairs. Only reserve this cottage if you are comfortable with stairs.)
As fabulous as all this is, the thing that will bring you back time and time again to Flagstone Sunday House may be the amazing back yard. Off the dining room, you will find a large deck with sitting areas and a sweeping staircase leading down to the ivy-covered lawn. Relax in the cool weather with our limestone fireplace. Take a little time from life's cares to walk among the branches, watch the birds, and put your feet up for a bit With all these great amenities plus an excellent location just one block from Main Street and 3-4 blocks to the heart of shopping, Flagstone Sunday House is a treasured retreat!

My wife and I had such an amazing stay! This is a beautiful historic home right in the heart of Fredericksburg, very conveniently located near restaurants and shops. The charm just exudes from the home and can't help but make your vacation feel more special.
Exactly as stated. Very cute multi-level home. Great for a getaway. Nice walking distance from everything. Walked to most places. Outside fireplace was charming.
The host, Amelia, is amazing! Loved the house- very cool, very clean, and was well stocked. The outdoor area is fabulous as well, and it is hard to beat the location. We will check this house’s availability first before our next trip to Fredericksburg.
We had an amazing stay at this property. The best parts were the comfy bed and the outdoor fireplace. Very accommodating and perfect location to walk Main Street.
Cute place on outskirts of town but still walking distance from everything. Nice quiet street. Bigger than we expected, great backyard and bed was comfortable. Owners were responsive and helpful.
Beautifully well decorated cozy house! I felt like I was in Germany! Loved the convenience of walking to the main area. Wonderful outdoor fireplace to sit around and make memories.

Thank you Eileen...we LOVE our Sunday House and owning a piece of the immigration History of Fredericksburg is a privilege. It has brought us so much fun having people stay with us that get to share this with us!
We couldn't have asked for a better host! Amelia is super responsive and gracious, even letting us change our date at the last minute due to the ice storm. Although we weren't able to meet in person, I felt like I was communicating with a true friend!This historic Sunday house is indeed a treasure, and we enjoyed its warmth and interesting, eclectic furnishings. The kitchen is well-provisioned, and the outdoor areas are welcoming also. And only a block off of Main Street!We were joined by Baylor friends of 50 years, and this was the perfect place to get together. Can't recommend enough!

I'm sorry we couldn't meet either. If Cathy lived around the corner, we would see each other quite often! Friends indeed!
The property was beautiful and perfectly situated for our long weekend in Fredericksburg. The house was perfect for celebrating our 1st anniversary. Amelia was a great host and we look forward to staying again.
Absolutely perfect location to explore Fredericksburg. Our host Amelia, was incredibly kind and made sure everything was perfect for us. We highly recommend this property.
Lovely home with a beautiful backyard.The house is very tastefully decorated and has a great, fully equipped kitchen. The bedroom is welcoming with a very comfy bed.Close to everything.
The Sunday Haus was perfect for a weekend get away. Great location just a block off Main Street. The house is on the far end of main but is still walkable to all the main areas.
Very sweet little cottage. Nice accommodations and the backyard was incredible! The hosts were amazing and have definitely gone to all lengths to make the space comfortable. It's a few minutes walk from great restaurants and tasting rooms.
This is the best VRBO experience I have ever had. The hosts anticipated every need: bug repellent, starter log for outdoor fireplace, variety of creamers for coffee/tea in the fridge, snacks, extra bed linens, I could go on and on….. perfection…. loved staying here! .

Well darling that was very generous of you!
You were the perfect quests too! Thank you for staying with us!
Thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the German Sunday House. The only caution I'd give is if you're older or not in good health, the narrow stairs and low ceilings could be a challenge. We had a great time.
My husband, son and I stayed at Flagstone Sunday house for a quick weekend getaway. The home was cozy and lovely. The back area was the perfect place for morning coffee and listening to the birds. Very peaceful and relaxing. The hosts were attentive, helpful and provided coffee and snacks upon arrival. The area is nice and quiet , which we appreciated. It was ideal for a family trip!
However, stairs required to get to and from master bedroom would prevent another stay.

About the host
Hosted by Amelia Brock Zesch
A perfectionist with a ready smile for just about anyone! Love people, cooking, biking, gardening, volunteering and TENNIS! I am always busy and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Why they chose this property
I bought the Sunday House because it has charm and historical significance. It's one of seven of the original German immigration Sunday Houses. But best of all, is the stunning back yard!
What makes this property unique
The location, the location, the location! Unbelievable backyard, with terraced flagstone throughout and large limestone fireplace. This kind of property just does not come up for sale very often because it's one that everyone wants...
