About this property

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!

Mom/Daughter Getaway

My adult daughter and I had a great stay! Great location—quiet and far enough away from the fray, yet close walking distance. Great living room lounge chairs, comfortable beds and Champagne and orange juice! What a plus! (and I have to mention the cracker jacks-a trip down memory lane.) Amelia was very responsive to my texts!! Will stay again!

Unique and charming

Had a fantastic time! House was very clean, all linens and kitchen equipment are very high-quality. House is very unique and very charming. Exactly what you would want in a Sunday house in Fredericksburg. Backyard is all Flagstone with an outdoor fireplace, great space for enjoying a glass of wine! We will definitely look to stay there again.

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.

Birthday/Anniversary Weekend

This home was in the perfect location for us - close enough to walk to many restaurants, shopping, and Oktoberfest, but far enough away to be quiet. The outdoor space at this home is lovely, spacious, and quiet! The hosts even provided little extras for this celebratory weekend! We would highly recommend it!

Hidden gem

I know you hear about hidden gems. Well, this is one! This VRBO was the extreme of pleasures, and the VRBO owners were absolutely wonderful! Everything you could’ve asked for was there and more. We were so comfortable that we didn’t want to go anywhere. We just stayed there and relaxed. Fredericksburg is a wonderful city, but we have been there before but never overnight. You are within walking distance of shops and restaurants, plenty to do.

Great location

Everything was great. The one hitch I would say is the second sleeping area isn’t really a bedroom. There is no door for privacy & nowhere to put clothes/suitcases. We stayed with brother & sister in law so wasn’t a big deal but might have been uncomfortable for 2 couples who weren’t family

The house was absolutely perfect!!

The house was so cute, very clean, fully stocked with all necessities and the beds were so comfortable. The backyard was amazing. The fireplace out back was a great perk that provided a very relaxing spot for a nightcap. I saw a deer by the back fence the morning I left… so neat!

About the host

Hosted by Amelia Banner

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...
