Austin St.- Kristin's Suite | Private Patio | Fireplace

Things to be aware of:
*From March 31st until October 1st, the fireplace will not be available for use.*
*The suite only has a whirlpool tub with a handheld shower wand. There is no standup/walk-in shower.*
*Construction is occurring at the property behind this one. As a result, you might experience construction noise, particularly during day light hours on weekdays.*

The original settlers' home was ingeniously added on to just four decades ago but retained the feel and integrity of the 1800's. As you enter the foyer paved with D'Hanis tile, a warm sense of history greets you. The bedroom/sitting room is magnificently large, rising to twenty foot ceilings at the peak. A wood burning fireplace provides warmth near the king size iron bed.

Kristin's bath has a long and colorful history. In 1885, the Sheriff of Fredericksburg was the home's original builder and owner, John Walter. An unfortunate fire destroyed the local jail and what better place to house the lawbreakers than the Sheriff's stone barn. Iron bars were added over the windows to prevent early checkout and they remain today. This former barn and jail has limestone walls and a triangular jetted tub for two.

Kristin's large private terrace is anchored by an ancient ivy covered pecan tree and a softly bubbling fountain. Relaxing and inviting for two, it is the perfect space for convivial gatherings. Have your morning coffee or relax with an evening glass of wine here for a memorable and authentic Fredericksburg experience.

Wonderful B&B that is much larger than it appears on the listing. We happen to have stayed during one of the years last cold snaps so made good use of the fireplace. Location was 2 minutes from the main street and multiple restaurants.

We've been coming to Austin Street Retreat for 24 years, and absolutely LOVE it! We've never had a bad experience w/ any of the rooms there, but Kristin's is our favorite for sure! Thanks again for another great respite and time to re-charge.

The feel of a small cottage. Clean and well supplied with towels and toiletries. The tub was nice but would've preferred more of a shower. Would highly recommend.

Charming cottage

Lovely cottage-like home. Only 2 blocks walk to Main Street. The only complaint is that at night you can here quite a bit from outside and next door. Other than that it was a great stay.

Cute place - no hot water

We stayed in Kristin, and the property is beautiful and cozy. Beautiful living space and bathroom, but the bath only ran hot water for about 1 min before turning cold the entire weekend.

Hot water

We loved our stay and loved the house. However, when trying to fill the tub, the hot water heater was unable to keep up, so it took several of adding water then waiting. Other than that we loved it.

yes, that courtyard in the photos is all yours

I assumed when viewing photos of Kristin Suite online that the beautiful courtyard was a common area. I was thrilled to learn upon arrival that the spacious patio with seating and fountain pertains only to Kristin's Suite. An amazing perk. I couldn't wait to get back to my cottage that evening after doing the main street crawl all day to put my feet up at my private hill country outdoor living area and open a bottle of wine.

Been staying in one of the Austin Street Retreat Units for years... never had a problem until this trip. 2nd day there alerted mngmt that the hot water tank needed addressing. Told it was but never had enough hot water to bathe. Mentioned it again at checkout and no apology made or compensation offered.

Liked: Cleanliness, location
Disliked: Check-in
The property is dated without many modern upgrades. There is a lot of road noise, we were regularly woken by acorns falling on the roof. Additionally it was easy to hear conversations and tv noise from both of our neighbors. If you are a light sleeper, I don’t recommend this spot. I would recommend the owners update the property, better decor, replace the worn out carpet, etc. The check in/out process is also a pain and dated. While most places send you a simple code to use on the door, we were required to visit the office to pick up and drop off a physical key, not the end of the world, but could be simpler. Internet worked well, bed was fairly comfortable. The bathroom could use some additional lighting for getting ready. All of the electrical outlets are very old and anything you have plugged in will fall out with the lightest jiggle, it makes using the hair dryer a real pain.

We love Austin street retreat. It is where we stay when we come to Fredericksburg. We love the space and the location. However, this year we did not enjoy it as much. The hot water heater was not working well and it did not produce enough hot water to fill the tub. Each time we used the tub it took over 30 minutes because we would have to let the water heater heat more water. It was very disappointing

Cozy Retreat

The overall feel of Kristen's was quaint and cozy. The bed however needs to be replaced! My husband is 6'4” and had a hard time getting UP in the bed! The mattress topper is so thick to make up for the sagging mattress that this bed is so high off the ground! Also, I would recommend the leaf blowers not show up at 8:00 on a Saturday morning. This went on for hours. We had several people try to enter our suite because of the confusion of the address and the suite signs. We were glad the door was locked!

Kristin's

We enjoyed our place but 2 things kept us from rating a 5. One was the fact that we were up half the night after calling the police on guests behind us fighting. That was not your fault but it made us very uncomfortable and kept us from resting well. The second was the bathing situation. My friend is handicapped so it was quite difficult for her to bathe. We managed but I wish I had realized how hard it would be for her. Other than that we had a great stay. We loved the fireplace at night.
