Wonderful

The location is the best and not to mention the fireplaces. It was a chilly weekend, and we enjoyed our evenings with wine and the fireplace.

Bowie cottage
The place was rustic and peaceful. We heard either rodents or squirrels inside the house in the attic, scared us all one afternoon. One of the doors leading outside was rotted. There were dead wasp in the house found.
Loved the house! So charming and perfect for 2 couples! Plenty of dishes, towels, and coffee supplies. It is close to Main Street but in my opinion not necessarily walkable to the heart of main street where a majority of the shops and restaurants are. We drove. Would definitely book again and highly recommend!
Celebrated our anniversaries together. Was nice for 2 couples. Roads were bit dark at night to walk. Uber was available fairly quickly. overall very nice stay.
Beautiful little cottage, perfect for our girls trip! We woke up to two fawns laying in the backyard. The decor was adorable, had everything we needed. Check in & check out were very simple. Will keep this cottage in mind for future visits!!
this was our all-time favorite VRBO stay. Property was lovely. Everything we needed was in the cabin. Couldn’t have asked for a better weekend. Would definitely suggest the Bowie cottage.

We are overjoyed to hear your stay in Fredericksburg turned out wonderful,
and we hope to see you travelling with us again in the near future.
Thank you!
Bowie Cottage was just wonderful. Having two separate areas for sleeping and two separate bathrooms was a bonus. The price was so reasonable.
The Cottage was very clean, except for the air vents, especially near the bed in the first section.
Thank you!
Nice cottage, clean, great location , tons of space

So cute!
We absolutely loved the Bowie Cottage. I loved the farmhouse decor in black, white & gray. It was so cute and just perfect for our Anniversary getaway! We will be booking it again soon!
Terrific location walking distance to Main St., the place where everything happens. Easy drive to wineries and Enchanted Rock. Just a great getaway weekend and our VRBO didn't disappoint. I would definitely stay here again. No kitchen seemed odd, but we ate out (Hangar Diner, Sunset Grill, etc.) and didn't really miss it. I recommend this trip and location, highly!!
