This 1890s farmhouse is the perfect getaway for two in the Texas Hill Country! Enjoy the cosmos flowers from summer to late fall in the surrounding gardens. Relax at this peaceful home and enjoy the Hill Country, where you can unwind in the backyard and enjoy the beautiful Texas sky. Be sure to venture into downtown Fredericksburg, where you will find excellent restaurants, tasting rooms, antique shops, and historic sites. Sample the renowned local wine at one of the many vineyards and tasting rooms in and around town, or join a wine-tasting tour that will transport you safely from vineyard to vineyard.

This family-friendly vacation rental is a historic home but has a shabby chic interior that you are sure to fall in love with. Inspired by simpler times, the rooms welcome you with cottage-style furnishings, vintage textiles, and gleaming hardwood floors. Watch the horses at the Gillespie County Race Track.

Things to Know
We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels worldwide. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally, a decorative top sheet. Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.
The fireplace is not operational.

Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

Not so quiet

The stay was interesting if you want a back to basics cottage. Lots of antique and period items here along with Historic character of the cottage. The noise level iis not coducive to one who is a light sleeper. The adjacent Highway and intersection provide a constant stream of accelerating traffic which is noticibly loud until late night and beginning once again early am.

A great find!

We loved our stay. The house was clean, well-appointed with all the amenities we could ask for, and perfect for our needs. As a bonus, it was ideally-suited; an easy walk from downtown, and the HEB grocery store was just a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.

Great Stay

My mom and I took my daughter to Fredericksburg for a girls trip and this location was wonderful. There was a large yard and the house was in a great location. Quick drive to the Main Street and the H‑E‑B. Lost Draw Cellars was easily walking distance.

Good, Bad , and Ugly

The house was a well restored farm house in a quiet area of town , conveniently located and very comfortable. The only glitch was the dishwasher. It had rancid standing water in the bottom and began to leak onto floor! Outside of that issue, the place was nice and comfortable.

Great Weekend Getaway for Mom & Daughter!

I brought my preteen daughter here for a weekend one-on-one getaway to have fun, hike, chat, shop, explore, etc. It was the perfect location for us (2 girls). We felt safe. The curb appeal could use some taming, but the inside was wonderful! A great location to relax in-between excursions out around Fredericksburg. It was not super peaceful, as a busy street is not too far from the cottage, as traffic is easy to hear. You had to park on the street, but it's a wide street. The location was central, but not walkable to Main Street. It is 1/4 mile from HEB, so easy to get groceries. The TV worked well, as we watched some shows at night and in the hot afternoon. The bathroom lighting is dim, so I moved a makeup mirror out to the main area to do my makeup & hair. The bathroom lights went out on Saturday, and the management was very responsive about it! Not a big deal at all, but we appreciated the response. There were a fair amount of mosquitos in the cottage, but not sure how to fix that. It's TX summer. Overall, it was a great destination!

On the Macro Level, it looks good. The devil is in the details.

Close to all attractions and in town, but nerss work. The home is nicely located in Fredericksburg. The cleanliness of the home was poor. The manager was responsive, but after you're in a place, how can they clean it. I won't get into the specifics, but both Vacsa and the manager got most of the pics I took of the poor condition I found the home. Beware.

Nice place, management needs a little work

The house was nice, clean, everything you would expect. Parking at the house was easy. Location was close enough to town. The perfect short term rental for a town like Fredericksburg in a lot of ways. No complaints on that front. However, Issue 1- when we walked in, the smoke alarm was chirping every 2 minutes. Notified management but no one did anything about it. I ended up climbing on a chair to disconnect it. Management did not do anything about it until the next day. If I had been unwilling or unable to get up on the chair, the house would have been impossible to sleep in that night. And if I had fallen? Should have never been it that position in the first place. Issue 2- there was only 1 towel in the bathroom. Notified management but nothing was done about it. We ended up finding more towels in the dryer later that night. Is this were a private owner I would have much more tolerance for this sort of thing, but this house is owned by Vacasa, who should be much more on top of things, and I bet a private owner would not have these problems at all. I certainly would not expect it at a hotel, which is the standard to which I hold corporate owners of short term rental properties.
