Fredericksburg Gem for Wedding Planning Bliss

We traveled to Fredericksburg for a wedding tasting with a local chef and needed a comfortable spot for our family of six. This home was absolutely perfect. The kitchen was spacious and great for cooking and serving, which was a must for us. Each couple had their own room, and the whole house had plenty of space to spread out. Everything was clean, the beds were super comfortable, and the location—just minutes from Main Street—made it easy to enjoy some shopping and fun while we were in town.The host was fantastic—very responsive before our stay, and the check-in process was seamless. There was even an instruction book in the kitchen that answered most of our questions. We had a small issue when we first arrived, but Tim was there within 20 minutes and had it fixed right away—great customer service.If I had to give one small suggestion, it would be to update the pots and pans and maybe offer a few more options for folks who love to cook, like we do. That said, for those who prefer DoorDash, it’s definitely not a deal breaker. The home has been beautifully updated, and it felt like the perfect home base for our trip. This will definitely be our go-to property whenever we’re in Fredericksburg!

Bachelor Weekend

We had planned a weekend getaway to Joshua Creek Ranch, where we also intended to play a round of golf in Comfort. However, we decided to extend our trip at the last minute. Tim and Randee were incredibly helpful and prompt in their response, allowing us to add an extra day to our itinerary. The house and its amenities were excellent, and we would definitely consider staying here again in the future.

It was perfect!

It was exactly what we were looking for! It was close to the shops and restaurants but also tucked away in a quiet neighborhood offering a sweet home away from home experience. The town of Fredricksberg is a unique destination with plenty to see and do but having a fun home to come back to each day was a double bonus! Honestly, some of my favorite highlights of trip happened in the game room playing ping-pong and pool with the family and while it was too rainy to sit around the fire-pit under the string lights at night, we made up for it by hanging out on the screened in porch in the mornings, listening to the birds while drinking our coffee. It was such a nice stay, absolutely no complaints, definitely recommend it!

Beautiful, clean, cozy

Everything in the VRBO description of this house is true, and so are all of the positive reviews. We booked the house on an impulse, following a family loss and in need of a change of scenery and pace. Sometimes you stay at a hotel or rental and it just doesn’t feel right. This home suited us and our need for comfort and serenity during a time of grief.The hosts thought of all the details and we felt like cherished guests staying at a friend’s home. We will be back. Thank you!

Family Weekend

This property was very welcoming and updated with lots of amenities to keep us comfortable and entertained. The beds were great and the location was convenient for our busy days full of shopping, eating, and church. In the evenings we enjoyed the game room and grill where we made steaks and burgers. The kids took advantage of the backyard by throwing the football around. We got exactly what we were looking for - quality family time. The house and hosts were 5 stars all the way.

AWESOME!!

This house was nothing short of AWESOME! My friends and I came down here for my birthday celebration. This house was so close to everything, and the amenities really sealed the deal. After a long day of wine tasting we were able to just come back to the house and enjoy the game room and just hang out. The game room was so awesome. The house was so cute and well decorated with plenty of space! We will most definitely be back!

Sweet little spot!

I originally booked this for a Bachelorette with 12 girls, but the bride ended up getting COVID, so I went with my husband, 2 kids, and 2 friends instead. It was so much fun, the game room and fire pit are perfect for fun at night! The kitchen and bathrooms are great. They had tons of towels that would accommodate a large group.

Amazing getaway for baseball moms!!

Our stay in this home was perfect! It was clean, the layout was just right for our group and the house was fully stocked with towels, kitchen supplies, and many more extra perks! It is a great house for entertaining and unwinding from our busy lives! The only thing I had a concern about was the grill. It is located right next to the house and when grilling our steaks, the grease collected on the grease tray caught fire. It was a scary situation that could have gone badly really quick, but we managed to stop it. Other than this scary situation, we thoroughly enjoyed our time here and can’t wait to book it again!
