A terrific friend from high school & I met in Fredericksburg to reminisce about old memories & to make new ones. Although it was just the two of us, the home could easily accommodate 1 or 2 more without feeling cramped for space. The cottage was spacious, clean, nicely decorated, and equipped with everything needed to prepare a meal (but who would want to cook when there are quite a few restaurants in easy walking distance).
Two things to note: (1) The location is several blocks from most of the Main Street attractions. That was no problem for my friend who is a walker, but was more difficult for me with a bad knee. (2) The two parking spots allocated to the cottage are conveniently close and the property gate provides extra security. However, it is a very tight space for turning the car around to drive out of the gate. The only other option is to back out onto a rather busy street.
I have two suggestions for the owner: (1) Provide access to the gate code through a phone app, like the front door so getting out & in the car is not required. (2) Install a safety bar in the shower.
None of the comments & suggestions would prevent me from renting it again on another visit to Fredericksburg. I still believe it is a 5-star property and highly recommend it.
