Girl’s Wine Country Week
The property offers secure off-street parking, which is a great feature for a home so close to Main Street. It served as a comfortable home base for our stay, particularly for those looking to explore the surrounding area. However, the layout wasn’t ideal for four people hoping to spend evenings in, relaxing and watching sports on TV, as the shared spaces felt a bit limited in that regard.As is common with historic homes from the 1920s, there is noticeable floor sloping, which was something we were aware of during our stay. Additionally, the proximity to a busy highway intersection brought more traffic noise than we had anticipated, both indoors and out, which may be a consideration for light sleepers.Overall, while the property has its charm and could suit certain travelers, it wasn’t the best fit for our particular needs on this trip, especially at this price point. It’s a unique option for those who appreciate historic homes and don’t mind some quirks that come with them.

Noisy Cozi Cottage
Cute little house, deco was appropriate for age of the home. The beds were comfy and the heating unit was working well for the unexpected cold snap we had. Major complaint; As a get away destination I was hoping to sleep in and wake slowly. This house is right off the main street through Fredericksburg and traffic is terrible on the weekends especially, as the main through way Semi truck are constant at all hours. So if you want to sleep in and sleep overnight it would not be a fit. Also I requested and early check in and said no problem can we use the card to add the charge of 60? This was disappointing for sure. Coming from out of town we wanted to drop our things off and start enjoying our trip but we decided against paying the extra fee.

Great Location. Reminded me of my Gr as parents’ home
Everything exceeded our expectations. Loved location, however,
Local traffic on Main Street (US290) and Olive Street, was loud. Other than that 👌

The house was good size.
We had a great first trip to Fredericksburg. The house was a good size for 5 people. It did get home at night since you could not adjust the ac below 69. Other and that it was great!
