About this property

Primrose Cottage | Pet-friendly | 2 Blocks from Main St.

Primrose is a lovingly redecorated cottage that still maintains its 1940's charm. An easy two short-block walk from the center of Main Street and a half block from Hill & Vine restaurant, which offers great dining and entertainment, the location can't be beat. Plus, Fredericksburg's huge HEB store is only a five-minute walk, so visitors can come stay and never even use a car. An added bonus is that the huge back yard makes you feel like you aren't even in the heart of the city but rather in an oasis of fireflies, cooing doves and pecan trees.

The front bedroom boasts an impressive king-size bed with premium linens that will make you want to nestle in and stay! The back bedroom is decorated in cool hues of gray with an especially comfortable queen-size bed and private views of the lovely back yard. The den has many seating options, all of which are designed to be casual and comfortable, and maybe even nap-inducing. A large TV is on one wall of den, with free access to a wide array of channels. The kitchen is well-stocked with most anything you could need for a meal in-house, plus there is a charcoal grill in the yard if you decide to go that route.

Wifi is fast and free! USB plugs are in most rooms of the house. Most guests especially enjoy the privacy and serenity of the expansive yard, with its outdoor seating areas. If you are seeking the convenience of an in-town, walkable location combined with the comforts of the great outdoors, you have found the right spot!

The homes does accept up to one dog but there is an additional fee of $27/night. Furthermore, please bring a crate for your dog and crate it in your absence from the house, do not allow the dog on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of its waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

Great location. Fun back yard.

My husband and I stayed here with our dog for a few days. The back yard was a pleasant place to have coffee or drinks and the dog could amuse himself. The location of the property is excellent as it is only steps away from a ton of things to do. The amenities were just what we needed.

Wonderful cottage close to Main St

I have been coming to Fredericksburg for 30+ years, but always stay with my parents. Staying in this quaint little cottage made me feel like I was vacationing in a new town. We loved it and will definitely be back!

Primrose

The only reason I didn't give a 5 is because there were no tissues or any clocks in the house.. I would definitely stay there again. Very good location and easy to get anywhere we wanted to go. Comfortable beds.the backyard was spacious. Fire pit, table and chairs, squirrels playing in the yard.i highly recommend Primrose.

Great stay 2 blocks from downtown

Great location in a quiet neighborhood two blocks from Main Street. Made it easy to avoid driving and parking during busy times. Only feedback to the property owner is to consider thicker/blackout curtains for the living room as the evening sun is unforgiving, but it didn’t impact our enjoyment.

Lovely Experience!

The cottage is charming, well located, and the backyard is peaceful. It was great not to have extra fees or a list of things to do to check out!

Beautiful Cottage

We loved our stay at Primrose Cottage - what a special place! It is beautifully decorated, and has everything you could possibly need. We grilled every evening and enjoyed the backyard. The King-size bed is quite possibly the most comfortable bed ever. We had a wonderful experience overall and the staff was so gracious when we checked in; including many dining and gallery suggestions. Thank you!

Cute and comforable

Loved this little house, so cute and comfortable. Spent the weekend here with my husband, another friend and our golden retriever. Everyone enjoyed the house including the dog. Nice spacious backyard for the dog to run and chase squirrels. The nights were very comfortable with the temps dipping down into the 40s the central heat kept us nice and warm. We will rent this one again.

The house was great. There is a plumbing problem. We washed dishes and the the sink would not drain very fast. Believe it under the foundation. We truly enjoyed our stay.

Cute house! Very comfortable!

Great location and the furnishings throughout the house are attractive and functional. The neighborhood is quiet and it is nice to have 'off street' parking. The bathroom is quite small and dated. I did have few concerns: the kitchen sink was real sour smelling and the vents and air return for the HVAC need a good cleaning. Plus the toilet would run sporadically. When I mentioned these concerns upon checkout, the staff member at GS was very appreciative.

Great Location

The house was great. It was nicely furnished and in a great location, close to Main and very quiet. It was perfect for two people but would be cramped for more than two IMO. It is very compact and tight quarters. The only negative I have is that the TV has an Apple remote and unless you're familiar with it, can take a while to figure out. There is a book with instructions on the house, but the instruction page for the TV is mission. I stopped in Saturday morning to Gastehaus to inquire about the remote and they kindly offered to come out and show me how to use it. We weren't there much during business hours, so I never took them up on that. Yard was great for the dog.

Primrose

Assuming the rating is 5 for excellent, I have to give this a 1. Upon arrival, I saw the the toilet had not been cleaned. I called Nathan and he sent someone over to clean it. There were hairs in the frig, which I cleaned. The rug in the living room had obviously not been vacuumed. Trim and molding on the doors (inside) have not been dusted in years. Windows very dirty. This is the third Gastehaus Schmidt property I have stayed in this year and they were all dirty. Very disappointing and frustrating.

Small Cottage with large yard

Rooms are very small. Kitchen is barely adequate. Gourmet teas meant 1 bag of Tazo. Leaning mirror in the dining room was very disconcerting as it reflects the room at an angle. The patio was great, and the yard was large, but the fencing needs work.

Weekend Getaway

Property was everything advertised. Very comfortable, clean and very close to downtown. We were experiencing colder weather and the property owner stayed in communication with how they wanted certain concerns handled. Great backyard for a fire, bbq or just hanging out. Highly recommend.
