The Place to Stay in Fredericksburg
The house was everything we expected. The bedrooms were extremely comfortable and the pool and spa were awesome. We were very happy with our stay. We did run out of propane for the grill but our host quickly had it replaced by the next day. Would definitely stay at again.

Amazing Girls Trip Getaway — Perfect Location and Great Host!
We had the best girls trip staying at this property! The location was absolutely perfect — just five minutes from town and super easy to Uber anywhere we wanted. The house was incredibly clean, beautifully decorated, and had such a fun, aesthetic vibe. The hot tub was a huge highlight — it worked perfectly and the host even provided YouTube videos to make operating it super easy. Communication with the host was fantastic from start to finish. Overall, an amazing stay — we would definitely come back!

The property was great and very clean, nice neighborhood. Manager was easy to contact. Check in was very simple. The house was well stocked with anything you needed. Only down fall was that the hot water didn’t work in the master bedroom shower. But the manger did try to help. We just couldn’t figure it out. Other than that it was perfect! Would recommend.

Great house with lots of room for everyone!
We had 9 adults who stayed from October 15 - 19. Lots of room for everyone and sauna and fire pit were great to use.
We weren't able to use the pool as it was to cold during our stay but it wasn't an issue.
Would highly recommend staying at this site. If I had a question, just sent a quick text or phone call and they were right on it.

Girls Trip
The house was beautiful, much bigger than it looks in photos. The location was perfect. The beds were super comfy and the owners had supplied all the necessities. We had trouble with getting the hot tub to heat up, but the owners quickly responded to our message and turned the heated on remotely. The only complaint was the amount of flies around the pool. They were everywhere, but as long as we kept our drinks covered at all times and did not bring any food out it was fine. Overall, this was the perfect rental!

Terrific place in Fredericksburg, Texas
We were very pleased with this property in Fredericksburg, Texas. The residence was beautiful, with tall oak trees and a lovely pool plus plenty of parking that did not detract from the yard. The house was spacious, stylishly decorated, well maintained, and clean. There were nice, large common areas for everyone to be together, scattered sitting areas for groups, and the bedrooms were separated enough to allow privacy when desired.
The kitchen had everything necessary for preparing meals, with plenty of utensils, glassware (including plastic for outdoor use), plates, nice appliances, and pots and pans. A large dining table as well as a smaller breakfast nook were adjacent allowing plenty of space for meals together, plus the extensive pantry area provided ample storage for food and beverages. We had no difficulties with the television, wireless internet, doing laundry, and finding electrical outlets for charging all our cell phones and such. Despite the house’s large size and extent, the heating and air conditioning system and many ceiling fans did a great job keeping us comfortable day and night.
The outdoor patio and seating areas were terrific. We spent much of our time outside, enjoying the shade of the trees and the songs of lots of different birds. The pool was beautiful and had ample seating around it.
We were a few blocks from downtown and major roadways to other local sites so access was easy though the immediate neighborhood was pleasantly quiet. The owner

Over-the-top Vacation Rental
It’s always great to visit Fredericksburg, but extra special when you have an opportunity to complement your stay with a fantastic vacation rental. The St Helene Haus exceeded our expectations and was the “icing on the cake” for our recent visit to Fredericksburg.
Let me me first say that the size and quality of the property are deceiving from the outside. When you first pull up, you have an immediate impression that’s far different than when you first enter the home. Albeit the property is extremely nice on the exterior, the “big fat wow” happens when you enter the front door. The adjectives that come to mind are pristine, extra large, comfortable, and exclusive.
We were pleasantly surprised by the size of the property being much larger than what the pictures indicate and what we expected. We had four guests and more than enough room for all of us. The living area was comfortable with ample seating and a nice TV. The kitchen was extremely well equipped and perfect for our culinary exploration. The bedrooms were very comfortable and corresponding baths clean and new.
For us, the highlight was the pool and hot tub. Although it was a little chilly for the pool, we took advantage of the hot in every night. The hot tub could easily seat 6 or 8 people, but was super-sized for the four of us. Given the chilly nights, it punctuated a perfect hill country evening.
So, we enthusiastically recommend the St Helene Haus for anyone looking for a wonderful hill country stay!

Was mostly in the shade which was very nice since it was soooo hot outside. I really can’t think of a way to improve on this house. It has everything you need and they made sure if it by checking in on us and asking if we needed anything. It is very comfortable, beds, pillows, couches. You will really enjoy staying here.

Beautiful Interior, Hot Tub needs work
We stayed in April. The location of this house is convenient to town, the interior design is lovely and the layout was perfect for our group. The kitchen was well appointed and we utilized it to cook for the majority of our stay. My one gripe was the hot tub. Temps were inconsistent and didn’t get above luke warm for our stay. This was a bummer as the hot tub was the main reason we booked this property. The host was very responsive and sent screen shots of the temp readings he was showing on his end, they just didn’t match up with the actual temperature on site. Hopefully, this issue has been remedied. I also think the back yard could benefit from some landscaping or privacy plants because the pool area felt very exposed to neighbors.
