We were a party of 8 and this place was SUPERB! One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at. The owners were very responsive. The property was clean and neat. The kitchen was stocked with more supplies than we've ever experienced! The beds were SO comfortable. The pool and hottub were a BONUS (again so clean)!! We will want to stay here again if we return with a large group.

This is a beautiful home that is tastefully furnished with a mix of modern furniture and antiques,, and lots of thoughtful touches throughout. It's within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had a bit of an unexpected rainy, cold weekend but the living, dining ,and sitting rooms were the perfect places for the 5 of us to spend time playing board games, sitting and reading, and talking late into the night. The coffee and milk included was very much appreciated. It was a spacious yet cozy place to stay for our girls' weekend in Fredericksburg!

Beautifully appointed property and delightful stay. They thought of everything and we didn't event use all of the spaces. We had six adult high school friends reuniting and we all LOVED the Gold Haus. Beds were comfortable, lovely linens/robes/towels, good bathrooms, cozy gathering place, well appointed kitchen. All round fabulous stay. Each of us are planning to return with our own families. It will be great for adults and all the way to grandkids. Plus you can bring your dog!

We highly recommend having them heated—it made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy them day and night. Such a fun and relaxing way to spend time together.The location could not be better. We loved being able to walk downtown easily, which made exploring Fredericksburg so convenient and stress-free for the whole group.This home was the perfect setting for our celebration—comfortable, beautiful, and ideal for making memories.

About the host

Hosted by Maxwell Morrison

Host profile image
I was born in NY, but moved to Dallas in 2015 for work. I love to travel and can spend HOURS agonizing over hotels and lodging. I am the type of person that relaxes on vacation by coming up with a minute-by-minute itinerary of everything we are going to do each day. Don't worry, I am actually very chill when it comes to hosting others, and want to make sure you have the best and most relaxed time in our property - regardless of what "relaxed" means to you!

Why they chose this property

I discovered Fredericksburg back in 2018 (ok, maybe the Germans were the ones to actually discover it...), and we, like many, fell in love with the area. We make sure to come down from Dallas at least once a year to visit, so it only made sense to buy a home here. We love hosting and entertaining, so this seemed like a perfect fit.
We always wanted to have a home with history and charm, so this property was a natural choice. From the second I walked inside, I knew it was "the one", and we hope you feel the same sense or warmth and welcome.

What makes this property unique

The double balconies are a relatively unique feature, as are the windmill and water well both on the property. Furthermore, the interior was so tastefully redone to blend modern with the traditional. Combine that with being just a 10 minute walk from the heart of downtown and you have a property that is tough to beat!
