Summary:
Welcome to Whitney Cottage, a charming 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom vacation retreat nestled in a peaceful neighborhood just one mile from Fredericksburg’s historic Marktplatz. Ideal for families, couples, or friends traveling together, this cozy hideaway combines modern comfort with Hill Country charm—and yes, your furry friends are welcome too!

The Space:
Step inside to find an inviting open-concept living and dining area that sets the tone for relaxation and togetherness. The fully stocked kitchen is a dream for anyone who enjoys cooking, featuring a gas stove, side-by-side refrigerator, microwave, dishwasher, toaster, and a Keurig coffee maker with both single-serve and full pot options. For outdoor dining, a BBQ grill is available to enjoy meals under the Texas sky.

The home comfortably sleeps up to six guests across three thoughtfully appointed bedrooms: one with a king bed, one with a queen, and a third with two twin beds. The two bathrooms offer convenience and privacy—one with a stand-up shower and the other with a tub/shower combo.

Entertainment options abound with a cabinet full of classic board games for all ages. Guests will also appreciate the washer and dryer for added convenience during longer stays.
Enjoy your morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening from the rocking chairs on either the front or back patio, perfect for soaking in the quiet surroundings.

Located just one block from the renowned Herb Farm and Spa, and only a short drive to Main Street shopping, dining, and wineries, Whitney Cottage is a restful base for your Fredericksburg adventures.

Whether you're exploring the Hill Country or simply enjoying a peaceful retreat, Whitney Cottage offers comfort, convenience, and plenty of Texas charm.
