Second time staying here and we absolutely loved our time here. From the moment we arrived, everything just felt easy and comfortable. The place was spotless and cozy, and every little detail made our stay even better.

Overall decent place

Walls seem thin, you can hear the people beside you talking in the room. Thermostat did quite work correctly, constantly adjusting it. Coffee maker didn't work. Internet was down. Direct tv is so 90's. Just a cheap smart tv with some internet would be so much better. No full length mirror for the wife. Other than everything else was great. Comfortable bed and pillows. Oh no shower gel or soap all we had was shampoo.

Nice cottage at the end of Main Street

These little cottages are great, clean, well kept and at the end of Main Street. I would not consider them walking distance from part of Main Street that contains all the shops and dining. We drove to the center part of main and walked from where we parked. Otherwise it is a great place. The road noise is noticeable at certain times, but it is right on main so it is expected but to my wife and me, it did not detract from our stay. We have recommended this place to friends and family as a definite place to try when they visit.

Terrible stay

Wifi didnt work as i travel for work. I didn't have any wifi my first night. The pool looked like a swamp. The cleaner had told me it hadn't been cleaned and it was very dirty. I do not recommend a stay here. None of tbe amenities they mentioned weren't there.

In Fredericksburg for the eclipse

Overall, our stay was very nice. We enjoyed the pool area for the eclipse. Problems,the Wi-Fi was very poor. The toilet ran after flushing. The suitcase stand was broken. There were broken cups in the cupboard, as if the glassware and dishes were not checked often. Hosts were responsive to our concerns and sent assistance to our room very quickly. My husband fixed the toilet, the suitcase stand worked well enough during our stay and Wi-Fi was said to be poor due to event in town.
