Peaceful, and felt like home.

This home is well cared for, clean, very comfortable and cozy. There’s plenty of space to gather together., and to take time to yourself to read a book or take a nap. The kitchen was well equipped., and the outdoor grill was in excellent shape the cleanest grill I’ve ever seen. We had a great time in the pool., it was a little cool getting in the water at first but acclimated quickly. There was one day when wasp were buzzing around overhead while we were in the pool so we got out.. the rest of the days that didn’t happen. The neighborhood is very quiet., it was nice to hear birds chirping in the morning, and just sit out by the pool and enjoy a meal and chat H-E-B is very close by, as as the downtown area though you have to drive there. Wineries and Orchards are close by too, so the location is perfect for anything you may want yo do. We would stay there again, we highly recommend it.

Perfect place for girls trip

An amazing property with many amenities! Since the pandemic some properties were bare bones and we needed to furnish everything (dish soap, garbage bags, etc) but we had soap in the kitchen and the bathrooms had shampoo, soap, etc. The house was even cuter than the pictures and had wonderful indoor/outdoor spaces. It was a great location for a girl's trip. Would definitely recommend and would stay there again.

Perfect in Every Way!

This is the nicest place I have stayed to date! What a charming house with every amenity! Cute, Cozy, Comfortable and Clean There were 5 of us in total. My daughter, my 3 daughters-in-law and me. The backyard was amazing and we had so much fun in the beautiful pool, playing games outside and roasting marshmellows in the fireplace! Can't recommend this place more!!!

6 day visit at the farmhouse property

This property was amazing. The pool was awesome, especially with the extreme heat. The ac is the house worked perfectly. The pool house especially with the full bathroom is perfect when getting out of the pool. The management was absolutely wonderful to deal with.

I always get a little anxious when booking houses because sometimes the pictures don’t acutely represent the property but this was the exception!!! This property was more amazing than we could have imagined. Impeccably decorated, comfortable beds, amazing outdoor space- it truly had it all! We had 8 girls in our party and we all had plenty of space. Will definitely be coming back!

Loved this house!

This house is so spacious and fit my group of friends & couples so well. Basically 2 living rooms which was wonderful. The backyard was AMAZING. So much space to hang out. Very quiet neighborhood…. Neighbors are very close but we had no issues with that.

Amazing place to hold family reunion trip

Our whole family met up and stayed at this amazing house! There was more than enough room for everyone and the pool was very refreshing during the Texas heat. We were able to all fit around the dining room table to eat meals. The sitting area outside was ideal for those of us not swimming, but still wanted to be outside with everyone, and the TV out there was great for when we woke up before everyone else in the house but didn't want to disturb them. Whenever we all come back to Fredericksburg, we will definitely be staying here again!

Perfection!!

Our family wanted to get away from the city for a weekend, but didn't want to do anything too complicated or busy. The Farmhouse was absolute perfection!! From the minute we walked into this amazingly decorated and appointed house, we knew we chose correctly. In fact, we were very close to calling off our one day to shop/eat/etc. in town because the kids enjoyed hanging out at the pool and outside area so much. We could not have asked for more in a vacation house and will most definitely be back!

Excellent for girls trip

We were all surprised how big and spacious the house was. Plenty of room for 9 people to spread out. Although it was too chilly for us to enjoy the pool, it was absolutely beautiful. All the lighting outside made it so peaceful and relaxing to be outside. The hot tub was amazing on our chilly winter nights and the outdoor full kitchen with fridge saved us a trip inside for drink refills. The restroom outside kept us from having to walk in to the house soaking wet. Would highly recommend the space!

Wonderful family retreat!

My family had the pleasure of staying at this lovely “oasis” in the hill country. Although it was only a few blocks away from Fredericksburg’s shops and an HEB, once you stepped through the doors you were in your own private retreat. The house itself was a picture of country charm – beautifully decorated with antiques yet warm and welcoming. With 3 living areas and 4 bedrooms we had plenty of space, and the beds were so comfortable we all slept better than at home. The kitchen was well stocked so when we didn’t feel like dining out we were able to enjoy meals at home around one of the large dining tables. As much as we enjoyed the indoors, the outdoors blew us away – with its landscaped gardens, huge outdoor kitchen, comfy seating, TV, spectacular waterfall pool, fireplace and BB court. In the evenings we enjoyed watching the sunset over the open countryside beyond the house. This truly was a special place that my family hopes to enjoy again!

Annual Sibling wine trip

Great place private, no one behind can rent all 5 houses and all gather at this pool house patio and bar area. The house had double key deadbolts which is in violation of the national fire code as you are locked in without the key in the lock. There were 2 doors so it is impossible to have a key in both as we only had one. They said they would notify the owner when i informed them of the safety issue and violation. This violates fire code and must be fixed. IT may or may not be the same on the other 4 houses. minor issue nice to have makeup mirrors but the bad blues led light upstairs was so lo and off color could not see in the mirror. The hall bath top of sink is i guess about 52 plus inches and my sister at 5ft 2 could not wash her face as it was too high, highest. other wise the place was nice and in good condition... we stay at many VRBOS a year.
