About this property

The unique, charming Potter's Cottage is the private and separate half of a 120 year old, historic limestone house. It is located in a country-like setting just 4 blocks from Marketplatz on Main Street. There is one bedroom, with a queen bed, perfect for a couple seeking a private, quiet place. The master bedroom is 4 steps up from the comfortable living room. Please keep the steps in mind when considering this property for the elderly or those with special needs. There is a downstairs bedroom with twin beds if separate sleeping is needed. Walk through the private entrance into a living room filled with art. Two outdoor seating areas, offer a lovely setting to enjoy the drier, cooler weather of the Texas Hill Country. The front yard and patio are both fenced as this is a pet friendly home away from home.
Finn, the owner of this house is a potter. The art- filled rooms reflect her love of beauty, simplicity and the hand made.
You'll enjoy a quiet stay here, reminiscent of simpler times in a small Texas town.

Beautiful house in a great location

My husband and I stayed here for a little weekend getaway. We had a great experience! This house was exactly as the listing described. We loved all the artsy touches and enjoyed reading about the art in the home in the welcome book. Everything was clean and we loved that even filtered water was provided. Such a thoughtful touch. This house is super convenient to Main Street. Everything was a 3-4 minute drive at most and the HEB was around the corner. We would definitely stay here again if it’s available on our next Fredericksburg trip!

Cozy cottage

The cottage is close to the HEB in Fredericksburg. The neighborhood is very quiet. The bathroom was very large which is good. The bed was very comfortable. Everything was provided that I needed. It would be nice to know in the listing of the 2 twin beds beneath the main bedroom. I don’t think I saw a picture or a mention of it. I think that would invite more people to stay. Although I’m sure booking everyday is not an issue. Just would have been nice to know. I loved the enclosed fence for my dog. Thank you so much for my stay. I enjoyed the trip.
