Why this property?
When looking for property to purchase, we immediately fell in love with the grounds and the comfortable feel of the property. Ava Haus represented the authentic heritage of what has been so lovingly preserved in the city of Fredericksburg. Also, the location is perfect for us.
It is away from the center of town yet close enough to be in Fredericksburg in less than 3 minutes.
Ava Haus allows guests to enjoy the benefits of the country and still be minutes from wineries, shopping, restaurants and the natural parks of the area. Guests can have a true feel for the history of the region when they stay in an authentic German homestead complete with the original well, thick limestone walls and even the original root cellar where the pioneers stayed during times of danger. At Ava Haus we welcome your entire family to include children and pets.

Cute little place. It was clean and very close to main street. Although it was next to highway it felt secluded. Patricia was friendly and gave us recommendations on places to go. Would definitely stay again.

Cozy but needs updates

First and foremost I’d like to say the host was incredible and accommodating. The location is very close to Main so that’s a plus. We started off in the smaller romantic cottage which was really lovely. There was a plumbing issue so she moved us to a bigger cottage which I’m assuming is meant for families. The shower was so small and the concrete floors were not the best to walk on. The beds were really the only comfortable part about this cottage. We love the idea of all the vintage pieces, however sometimes it’s okay to upgrade a little so guests are at least comfortable during their stay. .

Nice and Cozy

The property is better than advertised. It's a very quaint cabin that was perfect for what we needed. I liked that it was outside of town but yet close enough to be able to get to anything that we needed. I would definitely stay here again on a future visit and would highly recommend it to me friends.

Quaint Cottage

The property is a small cabin with a bedroom and bathroom not far from the downtown Main Street area of Fredericksburg. You will need a car to get there but it’s an easy 3-5 minute drive. The check in process was really easy and the host communicated quickly. Highly recommend!

Fredericksburg Wine Tour

This is our 2nd year staying at this beautiful little cottage. We take a yearly wine trip for my husband's birthday and when we stayed here the first time, we were so taken by its charm and the cottage decor. It's perfect for a little weekend getaway and very close to Main St. It's always so clean and welcoming. We hope to stay here every year.

Cute intimate cottage stay

We loved Patty's little cottage. It was cozy and super cute, just big enough for us and our 2 dogs. She was very friendly coming by once a day to check and make sure everything was ok. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again when we are in town.

About the host

Host profile image
Hello and Welcome!

We are Tava and Patricia Hamilton. Married since 1996; we share 3 beautiful children, their spouses, and 5 fantastic grandchildren.

Moving from Central Texas in 2017, we were given the opportunity to purchase an incredible 1862 authentic German Homestead that includes the first hand dug well in FBG, and the first Dairy Barn!

Attracted to the tranquil setting, beauty, history, and convenient access to town, we couldn’t refuse. On 7/17/17, we purchased the property!

Everyday we are thankful to live here. It is truly a charmed life. We are grateful to be sharing our place with you, family, and friends. Welcome to our Farm!
