Thank you, Donna, for your kind words! We're grateful for your feedback and are glad you had a great stay. We’ll continue to improve and hope to welcome you back soon for an even better experience!
Great home and just enough space for our family. Far enough away from town to enjoy the countryside, but close enough to enjoy time at Fredricksberg.

Hi David,
Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re so happy to hear that the home was just the right fit for your family and that you were able to enjoy both the peaceful countryside and the proximity to Fredericksburg.

Stay was great. Bed was a bit soft but comfortable. Hot tub was great. Property was quiet and felt private. Some areas to improve. Frustrated by the door code being wrong on check in info necessitating a call. The high setting doesn't work on the hair drier. I also noticed several large ants in the unit. The dining set is too large for the space making it a bit crowded.

Thank you, Randy, for sharing your experience. We’re glad you enjoyed the quiet setting, privacy, and hot tub. We sincerely apologize for the check-in code issue and the maintenance concerns you mentioned, including the hair dryer and ants. Our team is reviewing these items to ensure they are properly addressed. We truly appreciate your feedback.
The property was a quiet cabin just outside of Fredricksburg. It was clean and inviting. There was a common area with a couple grills which we utilized for a meal. All in all, it was a great weekend getaway and we enjoyed our time here. I would not say this is waterfront, as the creek wasn't visible from the cabin. However, this did not deter our enjoyment of the cabin.
Hot tub was not fully functional or difficult to operate. Half the jets didn’t work.

Beautiful place, great communication, but it suddenly felt hot inside. I think the air conditioning needs maintenance. 72 degrees Fahrenheit was not enough to make our weather feel pleasant.
