The listing was accurate, and the house is conveniently located near the main street. The only suggestion would be to install a brighter front porch light, as we had to use our cell phone flashlight to see where we were walking when entering the property. However, I would recommend this property to others.

I loved staying at this we remodeled vintage house. It felt like staying at my grandmother's home only more modern. Very cosy and homey. I stayed with my s-i-l and there was plenty of room for each of us and privacy. My stay was in May and I enjoyed the birds singing around the house.

Perfect for Fredericksburg

On average, we are enjoying Fredericksburg’s wineries about every 8 months….for years. We like to stay at various properties and this sweet house on Bell Street is absolutely amazing. Not only is it immaculate but it’s charm is unbeatable. The kitchen is perfect and the hosts are fab! We definitely would recommend and…we might just have to stay here again!

Tired and missing a hot tub

The listing clearly stated there was a hot tub… and there was not one. (This was important to us). Have stayed somewhere else if I had known this was misrepresented. Also, the photos are from a few seasons ago when the paint was fresh. (For what you were paying I think this matters… There are many other properties within this price range). Also, the house is made of wood and it rained nearly the entire weekend which really made the home have a musty smell… That’s not some thing the owners can fix because it is an old house… But if someone has a sensitivity. You should be aware of this.. The home was clean… But I think the fact there is only one bathroom would make me shy away from having more than two people at this location. The home was also very dark inside with minimal lighting.

Great for a Girls Weekend

The Bell house was great for a quick girls weekend. It a little further from the Main Street action than we had wanted, but we decided to walk anyway so we didn't have to worry about parking and could enjoy some drinks without having to worry about driving. It was a beautiful day to walk and enjoy from sights of Fredericksburg. They have a fully stocked coffee bar. We had most things we needed to make simple breakfast. My only complaint was that the shower didn't get very hot, but other than that everything was wonderful! I would highly recommend and visit again.
