Great birthday celebration
We celebrated my sisters birthday. There was plenty of space, house was clean and it was close to main street. Heidi had reached out to me when there was a fire somewhat close to let me know it was moving in the other direction and we were safe. I would book here again.

Perfect in every way
The cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs of a cousin/aunts weekend for girls. We loved that there were so many beds for sleeping arrangements. The quiet neighborhood was close to Main St and yet just far enough away to see deer at night and to enjoy a nice fire in the backyard. What at great host too!

Awesome mother/daughter trip
We have been coming to Fredericksburg for a mother-daughter trip for several years. We all agreed your house was our favorite. We each had our own room, and there was plenty of space to spread out. We really enjoyed the back porch. We sat out there and had snacks in evening and had breakfast there in the morning. The neighborhood was so cute and very quiet. We will definitely stay there again.
