    The home was just absolutely beautiful, a true oasis in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas. And Jill, our host, could not have been more accommodating. This was an annual college reunion my buddies have been doing for over two decades, all of us being Fightin’ Texas Aggies. Jill even left us a Texas A&M cookie cake as a little welcome treat!

    Wow! We were so impressed by our stay -- both the property and host are absolutely top tier! We loved the historic charm of the home and it's close proximity to Main Street. We hosted a girls weekend bachelorette trip and EVERYONE was so impressed with the attention to detail, coziness, and amazing outdoor space. The host even brought an extra Chili Pot for us when we asked if the home had one. Absolutely amazing, 10/10 experience! We all can't wait to book again, thank you so much!!
