Wonderful place to stay!

We love Austin St Retreat. It's quiet, beautiful, and well cared for. We enjoy the tall beds ( and step stools)! It's great to be close enough to walk anywhere we want to go in town. Have stayed here before and will again!

Eli's

We have stayed at Eli's (and other Austin Street Retreat cottages) numerous times over the past 30 years). While normally very good, this stay was by far the most uncomfortable. The HVAC system was unbelievably loud and kept us up all night while it cycled on and off. Y'all should try insulating the area around the equipment. We won't be back, which is sad since we were married in Eli's 30 years ago.

FANTASTIC and close to Main Street shopping, dining, and drinks.

The accommodations were just as expected and needed! Eli's place is where we stayed and the decor plus fireplace was a delight! Breakfast/lunch coupons were an added perk too! My wife and I loved it and will definitely return!

Eli's cabin

What a great place to stay. Furnished firewood, comfortable bed, very secluded just a few minutes away from the shopping district, and coupons to save at several food establishments. The staff was so friendly upon picking up and dropping off the keys. It was just a great experience.

The host was welcoming. The venue itself was underwhelming. It was cute. Reminded us of something from beauty and the beast. Like Gaston’s cottage. But, it had a musty smell. The inside and outside needs upkeep. The place just looked rundown. The step into the bathroom is a hazard zone. We each tripped several times. The frig froze the waters. We were celebrating our 34th anniversary and were really excited for the stay. We appreciated the coupons for breakfast. That was thoughtful.

Eli's was just beautiful, and so peaceful. Even though there were others staying nearby, it felt secluded, private, and relaxing - exactly what was needed! Only wish we could have stayed longer.

The Best Home away from home!

We go to Fredericksburg 2-4 times a year and we stay at the Austin St retreat each and every time! It is by far the best place in town! Eli's is our favorite of the group, but there isn't a bad one at the retreat. The whirlpool tub is amazing and the whole location is just terrific!

Nice little place

We had an enjoyable weekend here. The location was great, and the room comfortable. The only issues we had were the VERY tall bed (no steps to help you get up on it), no front porch light (it was there, but never found the switch), and the mess around the patio and courtyard (squirrels having a heyday with green pecans, everything covered with shells).Overall, a nice place.

Comfortable and pleasant

Cabin was nice but needs a deep cleaning outside requires some ground keeping and a little bit more security lights.
