10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Sep 2025
Beautiful house, well-appointed, clean and comfortable. We thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It is a bit far outside of town, but it makes it nice and quiet. We got a noise complaint one night from a singular outburst from one friend at the pool which seemed a little excessive. We weren't playing music or being rowdy. So note that they take quiet hours very seriously. Also, I got multiple notices on email and text, maybe overkill. Lastly, I tried to send questions through VRBO, but got no response. However, I received prompt responses through the text number that was sending me notices, so definitely use that tool for communicating. Overall we loved the house and our time in Fredericksburg. We would definitely do it again!
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Apr 2025
The place was amazing. And i would stay there again. I didnt like we had to check in at 4pm on the dot when we just asked to go in about 45 min early so we had to wait outside the gate. The only other thing is the propane was empty so could use the fire pit at night
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Jul 2024
The house was very nice. We had an amazing time. The grounds are totally fenced in so you don’t have to worry about pets wondering off. The pool was great. House is in the country but is only a 10 minute drive to town.
