Fredericksburg birthday getaway

My friends and I had an absolutely fantastic stay at this home. Jill was extremely responsive and helpful, and had great recommendations throughout the town. She even added some thoughtful touches to our stay that made my birthday celebration even more special! The home was immaculate, well stocked, and exactly as shown in the pictures. The outdoor space is amazing. Easy walk to main street. Would absolutely recommend this home and would come back in a heartbeat!

Beautiful Property Close to Main

Loved our stay…plenty of room to spread out. :) House sits on far end of west side of town which technically is walkable to Main St; however, most of the shops we visited were on other side of Main making a car ride necessary to carry all of our loot . :) Definitely will stay again. Thank you for your hospitality and for sharing your lovely home.

Holiday Getaway

We had such an amazing experience. Jill was such a help and the communication was excellent. The house was beautiful and very clean. The kitchen was great and stocked with everything, there were even s'mores supplies! We had a very kind gift from a local bakery as well. My family loved the hot tub, the outdoor spaces, the sun room, the pool table and so much more. We would love to come back!!!

Quite the historical, comfortable stay

This was a perfect stay for reuniting 7 old friends. The house was comfortable and beautiful. So much privacy to be a block off Main St. Plenty of room to sit down and eat or play games at the table. The pool was nice. Enjoyed the well stocked kitchen, bedroom and pool needs. Cleanliness was a 10! This original 1871 home was of extreme interest! Jill responded immediately to our needs.

Amazing!

I cannot say enough wonderful words to describe Jill or this home! Jill went out of her way to help us after we were left high and dry by a last minute booking cancellation elsewhere. Our large family was traveling from out of town to celebrate belated holiday fun. Jill was so welcoming and had the hot tub on for us upon arrival! She was so responsive and helpful with our last minute change to her gorgeous home. We were overjoyed at this turn of events when we were able to fully relax and enjoy all this home has to offer from the game room for cheese and puzzles, multiple Christmas trees, pool table, comfy reading books, nap spots, perfectly equipped bedrooms & bathrooms & kitchen. It wa the most magical experience for our family to be together in such a lovely home. Everything was so close too…we were up and down Main Street…from eating at Hondos, at the house, wine tasted at Beckers, and even went to the Pacific war museum. Thank you Jill!
