Dissapointing

I was very disappointed in the cleanliness or lack of. Dust very apparent, found a large roach, tub jets were nasty, I am three weeks post op and was not about to use the tub! It was convenient to town and charming. I have pictures if needed. Sorry to be this way but you should know!

My fiancé and I absolutely loved the property. Only small complaint was the AC wasn’t working great and they were warmer days. However, the nights were nice and cool out so we slept amazing. You shouldn’t be staying inside in Fredericksburg during the day anyways. :)

Hill Country Honeymoon Part 2

My husband and I booked this rental for our Hill Country Honeymoon Road Trip. We enjoyed our stay thoroughly. The rental is close to the main drag - walking distance to shopping, dining, coffee shops, and art galleries. The rental is cozy and comfortable - stayed cool during the day. This was HUGE for us as our stay coincided with a record heat wave! We would go for breakfast, shop the morning away, then have a cold drink and light lunch - then back to the rental to COOL OFF and have a cozy nap. Then, we got back out in the late afternoons for cocktails and dinner. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time!

Clean and Quiet

We had a great time in the Eli suite. It was a quick walk from Main St. The room was clean. The bed was comfortable. It was very quiet from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. We were able to enjoy the rest of the day on Main as we were well rested. We would recommend and stay here again next time we’re in Fredericksburg!

Wife's Birthday Getaway

The staff is very friendly and acknowledged the situation with parking and people during our arrival and called us to let us know they placed the key at our property so we can head straight to our house. The place was fantastic and the bed sleeps very well. We had an amazing weekend getaway and the surprise birthday trip was a success!

Nice property. Rustic but well appointed.

Did not get to stay in originally booked property. Communication as to change of booking, came in late email, that was missed in transit. Property we stayed in was in same local and similar. Maybe an upgrade. They said water heater was out on original. Only complaint other than change, was no coffee filters in coffee bar. Property management was very friendly and nice. Gave advice and direction for best options for late breakfast on a Monday ( lots of restaurants closed Monday/Tuesday) Breakfast coupon for Sunset grill well worth it.

Eli's House

My wife and I stayed in Eli's house for our 20th anniversary. It was a perfect choice for us. It is nestled between several other houses located on the property and just what we needed. It was walking distance to everything on Main Street. Accommodations were as stated online and very clean and comfortable. I would recommend this house to everyone.

The room was fine, but the place did not have a shower. Very disappointing for the price

It was ok. The room was quaint and the accessibility to Main Street was great but not being able to take a shower was very disappointing. I was told when I called that there was a small shower and when I inquired further it turned out to be an expandable faucet on the bath tub.
