Very uncomfortable place
Unfortunately, I have to give this property 2 stars, the extra star mostly just for the convenience of the location. The online pictures made the house look eclectic but still cute, upon arriving however, the house felt very cluttered and there was a strong odor of cat urine or something similar. There was dust and grime around the doorways, no fan in the very small bathroom or bedroom, and we saw 2 large bugs in the first 15 minutes (which I have photos of). It ended up just feeling entirely too uncomfortable so we booked a hotel for our stay instead. It was a bummer because this place wasn’t cheap. There’s just too many other rentals in Fredericksburg to book a poor one such as this one.

Our hosts were so nice and shared with us the history of the house and the neighborhood. We enjoyed the fresh flowers throughout the house. The house is so close to Main Street too. Very enjoyable stay.
