Cute and charming sums it up.

My wife loved all of the antiques and furnishings. The cottage provides surprising amount of space with two separate indoor living areas with plenty of seating for all. (Big plus). In addition there is lots of seating/living space outside! Close to town but not a lot of traffic. Systems heat/cool, showers all worked great. Check-in/out was seamless. Was there for 6 days. Great stay - would not hesitate to stay there again.

The house was adorable, well kept, and charming. With ample outdoor space, multiple sitting areas and great porches. The bonus was the carport and long private drive for parking. Loved the great central heat and hot water. The greenhouse out the master bath window was such a beautiful amenity. Loved our stay.

Lovely quaint home on a quiet street

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home! We loved the decor and there was plenty of space. We were able to easily find the house and we were able to get into town with only a few minutes drive.

We loved Butterfly Cottage! It was a step back in time, yet with all the modern conveniences. Close to Main Street and shopping, yet secluded and homey. We will definitely book another stay!

Vintage Charm

Loved the vintage charm of this home. Just off the Main Street. Walkable for some but a quick drive for those who don’t want to walk. Comfortable beds. Loved the clawfoot tub. Loved the 2 living areas. Gazebo is great for morning coffee❤️

Loved the decor and charm of this conveniently located cottage. Plenty of room to cook or just hang out. Backyard gazebo was a great place for wine and cheese.

Disappointed

The cottage itself was as expected. Very charming. Upon arrival we dropped off our belongings and made our way to Main Street for some dinner. After dinner we arrived back to the cottage around 9:30 pm. I proceeded to the restroom to find it used and not flushed. Neither of us had even been in this bathroom. Not happy I quickly flushed to toilet. The toilet then became clogged. With it being later in the evening I covered the bowl with a towel and shut the door. In my mind I would text and let the contact know what happened in the morning. In the middle of the night I was awakened by my dog scratching incessantly. I could not imagine what was going on. I told her to stop and lay down. Early the next morning she was still scratching. Upon inspection we found fleas on her. Then we found fleas on our own tee shirts. I then texted the contact given and told her the two situations. She was very apologetic and tried to come up with solutions. Calling a plumber on a Saturday was going to be disruptive. She also offered to spray the house for fleas. Which we contemplated and decided we did not know what was in the spray that could harm our pet or us. We just stayed out and about as much as possible. The opposite of why you rent a home to stay and be comfortable. The stay was anything but comfortable. Disappointed is the word.

Super Charming Home

A really beautiful home overflowing with charm. Had just about everything you need to make it a comfy stay. The beds/couches were extremely comfy, soft, and clean, and the bathrooms were also very clean and well stocked. We had a small pet and he enjoyed the yard and quietness of the house. The location is walkable to Main street, but the touristy area is a very long walk so it was much easier to drive there. The neighbors were slightly noisy, but not enough to be an issue and you can't hear them inside the house at all. Also, the back neighbor (not the noisy one) flies a good-sized confederate flag. It's mostly obscured by trees and a good distance away. Check In and Check Out were hassle free, which is always appreciated.

OMG, this cottage was amazing very pleasant and the town is amazing lots of winery and great antique shopping. The night life is not bad at all. I would definitely be back and would stay at the Butterfly cottage again. No need to bring a thing to this cottage everything you need is available. The upgrades to this beautiful cottage are amazing.

Charming place close to everything

I'm an architect so I was especially drawn to the beautiful period detailing and woodwork in the house. The backyard and gazebo were charming — wish we were able to stay long enough to have breakfast or cocktails out there … next time! Great location too, far enough away from the busy downtown strip but still convenient to everything in Fredericksburg and areas around. We'd stay again!

Great Place

My cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed our girls’ weekend. Beds were comfy with nice sheets. We had an issue with the TV and the property manager came out in the cold and dark and fixed it for us. She even built us a fire while she was there. Would stay there again. Thanks!

Fredericksburg Labor Day 2023

Lots of space, comfy beds. Two full bedrooms and bathrooms was very nice to have. Process was easy start to finish. We weren’t there much but it has enough space to really enjoy with friends/family if you wanted a longer stay. Middle of summer in Texas and the temperature inside was very comfortable and didn’t seem to fluctuate.

Nice quiet stay in a great location

The house was offset from the Main Street, giving us a quiet stay, but in walking distance to the downtown restaurants. We walked into town every day, it was fantastic. Would stay there again.

50s Girls Trip

The property was great. Everything was within super short driving distance. Would have walked it, but there was a small section that was out of the busy part of town which made us nervous since it was just 2 ladies. But it wasclose enough to walk to everything in town.

Cousins Trip

This property is so well kept, clean, comfortable and met our needs perfectly. It is located off Main Street and several blocks away from downtown. So you’ll need to drive and park when shopping. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Outside is very picturesque and has several different sitting areas. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definitely stay there again.

Friendly feedback

Hello! We had an amazing stay at the Butterfly Cottage. We were comfortable and the property decor was outstanding. Our rooms were comfortable & the accommodations were fantastic. We’d like to give a little constructive criticism which would’ve made our stay 100%: 1. The coffee maker was broken and the initial pot took around 2.5 hours to brew. We found 2 more coffee makers in the cabinets and only one of them worked (and it was the small 4 cup one that worked, unfortunately). 2. The toilets were incredibly low and small!! We barely fit on the seat & with every ‘sit’, it took a lot of effort to stand. We are tall people. That is all! Thank you so much for a wonderful stay!
