We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels around the world. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally a decorative top sheet.
Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.
Due to the Hill Country location of our rentals, you may encounter situations with wildlife/pests. Please be aware of your surroundings, take caution while driving at night and supervise your children at all times while outdoors. In addition, all properties do utilize pest control maintenance on a regular basis, BUT this does not guarantee pests/bugs/critters will not be visible.

If you are bringing a dog on your trip, the pet fee is already included in your quote when selecting ‘Yes’ to pets. If you would like to add more dogs, please contact us. The pet fee is per stay and ranges between $150 and $200, depending on the bedroom count, and will apply for each additional dog.

Parking notes: There is free parking available for 1 vehicle.



Damage waiver: The total cost of your reservation for this Property includes a nightly damage waiver fee, plus tax if applicable (the “Damage Waiver”). (A discount may be applied for stays of 28 nights or longer, if permitted.) The Damage Waiver covers you for up to $3,000 of accidental damage to the Property or its contents (such as furniture, fixtures, and appliances) as long as you report the incident to the host prior to checking out. The Damage Waiver fee eliminates the need for a traditional security deposit.
More information can be downloaded from the "Rental Agreement" on the checkout page.

Due to local laws or HOA requirements, guests must be at least 21 years of age to book. Guests under 21 must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian for the duration of the reservation.

Our stay was comfortable other than we had 5 people and the pull out couch had no sheets. We were able to make do with our own blankets. The house is cozy and convenient to shopping and eating. Would stay there again.

Cute little house

House was very clean, nice neighborhood very easily accessible. We just were never made aware that since the house is listed for sale that the property would randomly be shown by realtors (who accompanied families) and they’d just be walking in during our stay. That was really unsettling because we never knew if during our stay and we were out, if people would be walking through while our belongings were left unattended. And having a realtor walk in and wake us from a nap was definitely not fun either so communication could be worked on between owners and people staying.

Nice 2/2 close-ish to town.

The house is very clean and furnished nicely. It’s a bit of a walk, but doable, depending on your destination and physicality. It’s a 20+ minute walk to Auslander’s (one of our musts when visiting Fredricksburg). It was a nice stay for two couples.

Weekend Wine Tasting

We loved this charming well appointed home! The location was perfect. We walked to breakfast, dinner and wine tasting. Comfortable beds and living room furniture. No oven, just a large toaster oven, if that’s important to you. Will definitely stay here again!
