Perfect Xmastime Getaway

A wonderful old house in the perfect location. We had a small mix of friends and family, adults and kids, and loved shopping and dining our way through downtown Fredericksburg just before Xmas. The park with all its lights is just a block away. Downtown shops and restaurants less than a 5 minute walk. Wonderful and comfortable house. We will be back!

Our group of moms came to stay. We loved the house. It was close walking distance to the town. The living room furniture was comfy to sit on and talk. The porch was awesome. We spent a lot of time out there just chatting. I'd stay here again! Thanks for making it really comfortable and homey.

Charming home!

This lovely house is perfectly situated just a few blocks from the main street of Fredericksburg. There was ample space for our group of six to spread out or gather together. The kitchen was fully equipped, including a perfect-for-our-needs mini dishwasher. We enjoyed time on the large front porch. My only reservation about this rental is that the bed my husband and I chose was not very comfortable. There were two more bedrooms than we needed, so we probably should have channeled our inner Goldilocks and checked them out. The management company was quick to answer any questions that arose. Overall, it was a perfect place for our family gthering.

We absolutely loved this home and it is in a great spot for visiting downtown Fredericksburg. In fact, we were there to see the Christmas parade and it lined up on our street right in front of the house before the parade. The host was easy to work with and I would happily stay there again

The house was lovely. The layout was very unique and was interesting exploring the house and decor. The beds were comfortable; the house temperature setting was perfect. Towels were plentiful and fluffy. Some minor changes could have improved our stay. The lockbox was difficult to open without breaking fingernails. The oven really should have a vent and overhead light.

Family fun!

This house worked pretty perfectly for a large multi-generational family visit. The 5 bedrooms gave everyone private sleeping space but there were plenty of common space to share and visit in. From breakfast and coffee around the dining table, to wine and cards under the Arbor, to chatting in the living room, the house was a perfect base for spending time in as well as making it easy to walk to shops/restaurants and only a short drive out to wineries/distilleries and other sites!
