Why this property? When looking for property to purchase, we immediately fell in love with the grounds and the comfortable feel of the property. Ava Haus represented the authentic heritage of what has been so lovingly preserved in the city of Fredericksburg. Also, the location is perfect for us. It is away from the center of town yet close enough to be in Fredericksburg in less than 3 minutes. Ava Haus allows guests to enjoy the benefits of the country and still be minutes from wineries, shopping, restaurants and the natural parks of the area. Guests can have a true feel for the history of the region when they stay in an authentic German homestead complete with the original well, thick limestone walls and even the original root cellar where the pioneers stayed during times of danger. At Ava Haus we welcome your entire family to include children and pets.

Had a great stay, the cottage was very cozy and had everything we needed. It was in a good location, close to everywhere we wanted to be. The host was very communicative. We would definitely stay here again.
Cute little place. It was clean and very close to main street. Although it was next to highway it felt secluded. Patricia was friendly and gave us recommendations on places to go. Would definitely stay again.
We were only there one day and it served our purposes quite nicely. They had snacks for us and the “instructions” are simple and reasonable. The mattress could use some updating, my only minor comment.
This was one of the best getaways. The cottage was very homey and quaint. Was clean the owner was very helpful and kind. Close to everything. Will go back again.
The property is a small cabin with a bedroom and bathroom not far from the downtown Main Street area of Fredericksburg. You will need a car to get there but it’s an easy 3-5 minute drive. The check in process was really easy and the host communicated quickly. Highly recommend!
First and foremost I’d like to say the host was incredible and accommodating. The location is very close to Main so that’s a plus. We started off in the smaller romantic cottage which was really lovely. There was a plumbing issue so she moved us to a bigger cottage which I’m assuming is meant for families. The shower was so small and the concrete floors were not the best to walk on. The beds were really the only comfortable part about this cottage. We love the idea of all the vintage pieces, however sometimes it’s okay to upgrade a little so guests are at least comfortable during their stay. .
Charming and beautiful! Perfect, cottage for two with a super comfy king size bed!

Quiet place to unwind
Great, quiet place with everything you need to unwind for the night after a day visiting wineries, main street, Enchanted Rock, etc. A quick drive from main street. We would definitely stay here again!

Cozy hideaway
Great experience on our honeymoon in this rustic hill country cottage. Would definitely recommend.
The cottage was very close to the center of town less than 5 minute drive. The property was very clean. The cottage was nicely decorated. Perfect size for two to enjoy a nice weekend in Fredericksburg. I would recommend staying here
My husband and I enjoyed our weekend away. The cottage felt like home with all the extras the host left out for us :) Very comfy bed! Perfect location not 3 min from Main Street. We'll definitely be coming back!

Cute intimate cottage stay
We loved Patty's little cottage. It was cozy and super cute, just big enough for us and our 2 dogs. She was very friendly coming by once a day to check and make sure everything was ok. Would highly recommend and will definitely stay here again when we are in town.

Very peaceful and quaint cottage!
My fiancé and I stayed in the Garten Cottage and found it to be such a relaxing and peaceful environment. Pattie was very kind, easy to work with, and very flexible with us. We had a wonderful little getaway in her space and would most definitely come back for a stay in the future!
