This is a beautiful home that is tastefully furnished with a mix of modern furniture and antiques,, and lots of thoughtful touches throughout. It's within walking distance to restaurants and shops. We had a bit of an unexpected rainy, cold weekend but the living, dining ,and sitting rooms were the perfect places for the 5 of us to spend time playing board games, sitting and reading, and talking late into the night. The coffee and milk included was very much appreciated. It was a spacious yet cozy place to stay for our girls' weekend in Fredericksburg!

We were a party of 8 and this place was SUPERB! One of the best VRBOs we have stayed at. The owners were very responsive. The property was clean and neat. The kitchen was stocked with more supplies than we've ever experienced! The beds were SO comfortable. The pool and hottub were a BONUS (again so clean)!! We will want to stay here again if we return with a large group.

We had the most amazing bachelorette weekend at this beautiful Fredericksburg home. From the moment we arrived, it was clear how thoughtfully and exceptionally appointed the house is—truly everything you could possibly need is provided, and then some.The new pool and hot tub were absolute highlights of our stay. We highly recommend having them heated—it made all the difference and allowed us to enjoy them day and night. Such a fun and relaxing way to spend time together.The location could not be better. We loved being able to walk downtown easily, which made exploring Fredericksburg so convenient and stress-free for the whole group.This home was the perfect setting for our celebration—comfortable, beautiful, and ideal for making memories. Every single one of us had a fantastic time, and we’re already talking about coming back. Highly recommend this property for a girls’ trip, bachelorette weekend, or any group getaway!

Beautifully appointed property and delightful stay. They thought of everything and we didn't event use all of the spaces. We had six adult high school friends reuniting and we all LOVED the Gold Haus. Beds were comfortable, lovely linens/robes/towels, good bathrooms, cozy gathering place, well appointed kitchen. All round fabulous stay. Each of us are planning to return with our own families. It will be great for adults and all the way to grandkids. Plus you can bring your dog!
