About this house rental

***Old homes and antiques are not for everyone. This house is full of antiques including antique dolls.***

Located on Cora St, one of the most charming and historic streets in town, Alte Friedrichsburg doesn't disappoint in telling the history of early 1900's Fredericksburg. Lavishly decorated with native German settler antiquities, this is one not to be missed by aficionados of history and unparalleled elegance. Arriving at the home, you can't help but be immediately charmed by its cheerful pale blue paint and inviting front porch. However, these two aspects are just a taste of the wonders that await you inside. Branching off from a pleasant foyer, to the left you'll find a resplendent parlor occupied by opulent seating, a lavish oversized rug, and handsome historic oak flooring while to the right lies the first bedroom, appropriately named “the honeymoon suite,” that features a grandiose full tester bed complimented by the oak floors continued from the parlor and foyer. Further in are a lovely second bedroom with an ornate wooden headboard and a second seating area that is a bit less formal than the parlor but just as exquisitely furnished. Both bathrooms in the home feature desirable gray stone floors with one featuring a romantic clawfoot tub with handheld shower and the other a modern walk-in shower. The true gem of the home though has to be the spectacular dining room. A grand oak table with seating for 8 is encircled by exceptional wooden display cabinets brimming with delicate crystal and polished silver that is certain to make each meal a special occasion.

Alte Friedrichsburg had the distinction of being selected as one of seven homes to take part in the 60th Christmas Home Tour & Market on December 2nd, 2017.

Things to be aware of:
1. The second bedroom does not have doors on it.
2. While the home does have modern conveniences including central air & heat, internet, and television, the home is decorated in the theme of an early 20th century home and, as a result, is very different than what most of people would be used to in their own homes.

Things were great except in the kitchen. We had to make due with very few utensils to cook with. such as using a spoon to try and cook eggs. no spatulas ect.
6 / 10Average·Mar 2026
We liked the fact that it was close to Main Street, so that we could walk anywhere we wanted to go. However, we did not enjoy this house as much as others. I felt that every time we walked, the very packed furniture pieces and decorations began to shake, making us worried that something would fall. I would have loved to have a box of Kleenex and a throw/lap blanket, as the mornings were chilly. We always enjoy our time in Fredericksburg, but this just wasn't the right house for us.
