The rental was absolutely stunning—far more beautiful in person than the photos could ever capture. It offered such a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere, making it the perfect getaway. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. It’s about a 20-minute drive into town, but the scenic views along the way made every trip worthwhile. We even got to see quite a bit of wildlife, which was a special touch. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene and memorable stay.

Beautiful property with big views. Looking out the window feels like looking at a painting. The hosts were communicative without being intrusive. We loved being a bit further out from the crowds in Fredericksburg, and still having access to everything. The little house itself was very clean, and everything worked well.

We had an awesome time spending a couple nights at this place. It's about 25min from Fredericksburg, but worth staying at for the space and views. I do recommend looking ahead on how to get there.

This was HEAVEN!!!We were looking for a place to relax and this exceeded our expectations. The sunrises/sets were beautiful and seeing deer every morning and evening was very special. The sky at night was breath taking. Peace and quiet abounds. The accommodations were clean, modern and everything we needed( and more) was supplied. The hosts were very friendly but not intrusive and really seemed to care that we were taken care of. If you're looking for a place away from the hustle of every day life this is the place. We will be back.

Super nice property about 20 miles outside of Fredericksburg with lots of animals and beautiful scenery. It’s a private, fully setup and stocked guest house with everything one would need except for food items. We would not hesitate to come back it was that nice!

The Verbo we rented was exceptionally clean. Owner made sure all needs were met. Goodies, chips etc were available on the coffee table , which were appreciated after our long drive. The deco was exceptional sweet the bored out the large windows. I’d love to return when we have more time to make use of the home longer.
