Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.

Perfect house! (Management needs improvement)

Loved the house! This quaint gem is Fredericksburg perfection. The owner did a lovely job restoring and furnishing it. The management company, however, needs to step-up their game a little. We were served spoilt creamer, the tv reception wasn't happening, and we were denied checking in a mere fifteen minutes early. To top it off, the sprinkler system was set to come on around 8:30am, right during our checkout and on the front path.

Great Stay

My mom and I took my daughter to Fredericksburg for a girls trip and this location was wonderful. There was a large yard and the house was in a great location. Quick drive to the Main Street and the H‑E‑B. Lost Draw Cellars was easily walking distance.

A great find!

We loved our stay. The house was clean, well-appointed with all the amenities we could ask for, and perfect for our needs. As a bonus, it was ideally-suited; an easy walk from downtown, and the HEB grocery store was just a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.

Perfectly Charming

This house was absolutely lovely. It’s the sweetest little cottage with plenty of room for 2 people. If you love older houses with a great outdoor area and lots of character, you’ll love this place. It’s well taken care of and all the plants and flowers outside make it feel incredibly homey. We didn’t cook while we were there but the kitchen was well stocked. It had a coffee pot and even stocked with coffee, creamer and sugar! The property manager was super quick to respond to anything we needed and all the info was super helpful. We even got the privilege of meeting the owner who is the sweetest woman ever. She was coming over to watch the flowers as we were walking in and you could tell she put a lot of love into this house. We’ll definitely be coming back if we can.

Lovely home

Great property, original late 1800 floors! Cosmos Cottage is cute and romantic while big enough for separate space as well. We will definitely be back.

We needed a place to escape from the heat of Houston and found this place. It was peaceful and quiet, but not far from anything. We appreciated having washer and dryer in-house. If we make it back, we would stay here again.

Lovely home (but not walking distance to Main Street), quiet off street

Large Single Bedroom Cottage... private and homey, full kitchen and en-suite bathroom/tub combo. A deer was lingering in the backyard on Monday morning, which was a delight to see.

Cute Cottage

This small old farmhouse is conveniently located close to downtown. It is within walking distance to Walgreens and the HEB. The bed was comfortable, and the accommodations were clean. The pictures showed a Keurig coffee maker but it turned out to be a Mr Coffee drip machine.

A decent place to stay.

Everything was clean. Then I pulled the blankets back and found a hair on the sheet. It was a quiet neighborhood with close access to an HEB and Walmart. The abundance of windows let in a lot of sunlight but it also made it feel like everyone could see in. The price was great and it was better than a hotel. 😊
