This was our favorite VRBO stay so far. The cottage was clean and beautiful inside and out. We loved feeding the deer and watching the birds every day from our porch. There was so much attention to detail and you can tell the hosts aim to keep their guests happy. We can't wait to stay again the next time we are in the Hill Country! Thank you for sharing this special place with us!

This little Cottage is amazing! After a full day of exploring the history of this intriguing town, we would arrive back at the cottage, relax on the porch and feed the deer. There is 1500 acres to look out over. Very quiet and peaceful. The Cottage itself is extremely cozy and is beautifully furnished. The Hosts communicated very well on arrival and departure needs. We truly enjoyed our visit. We are of the Older sort, so the peace and quiet was perfect. To the Hosts, Thank You.

The cottage was the perfect getaway for us. So wonderfully decorated above the top with the fall decorations. All the deer coming right to our back porch was incredible. A bucket of corn was sitting for us to feed the deer and was a main attraction for us. We will definitely be coming back again.

We love staying here when we come to Fredericksburg. We have stayed here 4 times now and loved it each time. The home is warm and inviting when you arrive and we love all of the personal touches that are added to the charm of the home. We love the location. You can be in downtown in less than 5 minutes but it feels like you're out in the country while sitting on the back porch watching and feeding the deer that come up just 10 feet away. We will always try to stay here when we come to town!!

The cottage exceeded every expectation! Beautiful, clean, well appointed and in a beautiful setting with peace, quiet and nature! We enjoyed the back porch for our own little secluded nature watching! We saw deer, an owl, hummingbirds, tanagers, a cardinal, hawks and squirrels. Lovely property and the owners had appointed the cottage with snacks, coffee, kitchen supplies, toiletries and so much more! Hospitality is on full display! We look forward to staying here again in the future! The owners communicated everything we needed for check in, check out and all about the area’s attractions and eateries! Perfect vacation rental in every way!!

This cottage is the ideal place for a quiet, romantic get-a-away in a beautiful country setting that is only a 5-7 minute drive to historic downtown Fredericksburg . The hosts live next door in a home on the same property, for easy communication if needed. From the moment you walk in you feel welcomed….from the beautiful fall decor that is everywhere in the house, to the fully stocked kitchen and bathroom with many little extras in case you forgot something, including bathrobes! These hosts go above and beyond any VRBO house we have rented…they provided us with coffee, tea, juices, a basket of snacks and even doggie treats for our pup. This was an added surprise and we greatly appreciated the welcoming touch. They also provide deer food on the back porch, where you can sit to enjoy your morning coffee or dusk wine while feeding the many deer that will visit the back fence….so beautiful. There are also humming birds and many butterflies to enjoy. Inside the cottage, the living room was so inviting and had very comfortable furniture. The king sized bed was perfect for a good night’s rest after a day of sightseeing. The hosts thought of everything ….providing us with many brochures for the area, e-mailing us activities and additional happenings during our stay and even gave us some coupons for a local restaurants. We had a wonderful stay and would highly recommend Lynn and Jerry’s cottage.

Just about everything was provided, snacks, some juices, cooking and eating utensils, you name it. The owners were right next door but you really didn’t know it. Great stay, can’t wait to book again.

We had such a delightful time at this wonderful little cottage. The property was clean. Instructions for everything were made clear and easy. We got to wake up and see deer eating 10 feet away from us. And the butterflies flitting around our front as you walk in really gives this cottage a magical touch. Would definitely stay here again.

Lynn and Jerry's ADORABLE home exceeded any expectations we had. From the minute you drive up, you are greeted by hundreds of butterflies and Texas flowers. Entering the cottage, the unique decor which is more than comfortable makes you feel right at home. The kitchen is well stocked with everything you would ever need, bathroom is large with fluffy towels and bathrobes. The king size bedroom looks out over the front of the cottage with a view of flowers and butterflies. Nice sized comfortable living room with a TV and beautiful fireplace with a whimsical mantel. Our absolute FAVORITE part of the this house was the covered back porch. In the hot Texas summer the breeze and ceiling fan kept us comfortable. Completely private, we enjoyed our mornings drinking coffee and watching nature wake up. So many hummingbirds came to feed, along with many native birds and of course the deer who walk right up to the fence, ready for their deer corn which is provided by your hosts. The evenings are the best on the porch. We enjoyed a bottle of local Texas wine watching the fireflies and just taking a deep breath. The town offers a lot to do, but believe me, we would have rather stayed in the house the whole time. Lynn and Jerry are terrific hosts. They communicate quickly, have great suggestions and make you feel right at home. This is Texas hospitality at it's finest. We're already planning our next trip!
I took this photo sitting on the back porch. This curious beauty was patiently awaiting his dinner!

Our stay was peaceful and relaxing. The location is just a few minutes away from Main Street, but on the edge of country. We enjoyed our evening visits from deer, which we were able to feed with corn, provided by our host. The place was well kept, clean and had most everything we needed to cook, eat with and sleep comfortably. If we visit Fredericksburg again, we’ll definitely arrange to stay here.

Olivia and I truly enjoyed our stay, near to town and far enough out to be truly peaceful. Accommodations are excellent. The Hosts had all things in order. I did think I needed to set my alarm however; the deer were always waiting on me for those little magic yellow pellets at the back porch.

Wonderful!

This property is breathtaking! You’re nestled away in a neighborhood that is only about 5 minutes from Main Street, but you feel like you are on your own private land. The deer and wildlife are AMAZING! The deer would come up within 10 feet of us (there’s a fence) and stay for hours! The house is clean, spacious, and so cozy! It’s updated but still has a very neat historical feel to it. The hosts are amazing and so very kind. Would definitely book this again, and several of our friends have asked for the home’s information too. Worth it!
