Great location & Great Host

My daughter and I stay here for our annual Mother daughter trip. It was our first time to Fredricksburg and the owners were so kind and gave some wonderful recommendations. We loved the charm of this house and the location was wonderful. Just a few blocks from downtown. We took the bikes for a ride one night and found a great restaurant just a couple blocks over and then cruised around downtown to do some window shopping. We loved our stay and will be back again someday.

Quick Weekend Getaway

We had a wonderful time, everything we needed was available and we were really close to Main Street. The Cottage was very clean. The only thing that I would suggest is more comfortable cushions for the couch in the living area. The small snacks, coffee and water were a great addition.

Cute & Cozy

My college bestie and I spent the weekend here, we always loved going to antique stores back in the day and chose this place because of how adorable it looked. Obviously it is geared for a couples stay but we brought an air mattress for the second floor essentially giving us two mini apartments. It was so cozy but we still had a place for privacy and to decompress after walking around Main Street. We took advantage of the bikes one morning to check out the super cute neighborhood. They do have a small fridge, microwave and Kureig provided so you can bring some small snacks to enjoy at the dining table. Overall a great visit!

Wonderful anniversary getaway!

Hubby and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Serendipity. Cute little cottage with unique standalone tub/shower in the bedroom. Quite a novelty! Great recommendations from owners Mike and Cindy on wonderful restaurants and vineyards. Enjoyed relaxing in the lovely cottage courtyard, full of friendly colorful butterflies! Explored on the bicycles through town and to the park. Safe clean neighborhood. Favorite wine tours were at Becker vineyards and at Grape Creek Vineyards. Wonderful live music at The Elk (whiskey bar) and at Safari Vineyards in the courtyard. Great dinners at Crossroads and at Vaudeville. We look forward to returning!

Cozy weekend retreat

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We came up for a weekend getaway. When we arrived, the property was very well maintained and appealing to the eye. The hosts were fantastic, so nice and welcoming when we arrived. We even got a bit of history about the place which was really cool. The hosts are super knowledgeable about the area and have many good recommendations for places to eat, wineries to visit and other things to do around the area. The cottage is set back on the property and is very quiet. The inside was very clean and decorated so cute. Each piece in the cottage has a bit of history to it. The bed was very comfortable and we slept great on it. I would definitely recommend this place as a great place to get away and enjoy Fredericksburg.

Enjoyed our stay but…worth mentioning

The house was cozy and it’s in a great location. The owner was very friendly and helpful. The cottage was very clean. It is worth mentioning that the description of the property doesn’t say you have to use the outside stairs to get to the top floor living room area. It’s a very unique setup. The bathtub/shower is a few feet from the bed which is not ideal. There are no rails or anything to hold onto when getting in/out of the shower/tub. It’s a small space with the tub in the room. I’d recommend the owners building out the bathroom with a shower and putting a small sofa where the bathtub sits currently. Overall, we had a good trip and the property feels safe behind the house with the closed gate. Pack light due to space and so you won’t have to haul your things from the street to the cottage.
