Perfect quiet getaway
Lovely home. Nicely furnished. The indoor pool house was a nice way to escape the bugs. The hot tub was a nice amenity as well. Everything exactly as advertised. The kids love the billiards, ping pong and bumper pool games. Beds very comfortable.

A Vacation within a Vacation
Where this house seems a little bland on the outside, it makes up for that in spades with an incredible interior that feels both classy and rustic. Kitchen is beautiful. Beds are high quality. Lots of nice touches everywhere. The covered swimming pool minimized sunburns and provided our group a very welcome and cool dip after a hot summer day shopping in town. We enjoyed the hot tub too when unwinding in the evenings. The billiards and ping pong table and dart board added to the fun. It was great having so much to do at the house in-between our adventures to nearby vineyards, restaurants, and stores. We were only 4 to 8 minutes away from most places in Fredericksburg. Even though there are some neighbors around this house, the property provides a very private experience. Backyard is fully fenced in too.

All the little things
Great property. Location is perfect. They had all the little things you don’t think about. Earplugs, hair ties, chargers, small tools, a pantry with all the basics. Soda stream and keurig. We all really enjoyed our stay. Beautiful house. Very inviting. It took minutes to get to Main Street. Loved it. Will stay again.

Could've been
I titled this could've been because that's exactly what this VRBO is a could've been really great. The location, cleanliness, and even communication up until check in were wonderful. The house itself was great, however, the owners have been terrible to us. We asked before hand to make sure the pool was heated. We had several VRBO options we were considering and ONLY went with this one because of the pool. Again, before going verified to be 100% and messaged them to confirm the pool is heated and was told yes. We arrive and the first thing we do is goto turn on the heat so we can use the pool asap. We can't find a heater and it didn't appear to have one. Upon reaching out and waiting on someone to get back to me it turns out that nope it's not heated. We were all extremely let down because this was a HUGE part of our weekend. We had pool games and everything arranged for the stay. I expressed my disappointment and was told they'd refund $200 per night back to us. We got home and I reached out to inquire about the refund. I was given the run around for 2 1/2 weeks, barely getting replies. After this time was told I'd get a refund for $239. I let them I know appreciated them tending to the issue but this is not what were told AGAIN and asked why that amount and for more info. I have been messaging them for over a week now with not one single reply. We left the house in great shape cleaned up as we had previously for properties, although there were not specific clean up instructions we still took the liberty to make sure it was very well cleaned. The entire process has been HORRIBLE and despite the property being nice I would never recommend staying here due to the extremely poor customer service and lack of concern for their clients. I NEVER have wrote a bad review on anything I don't think and did not want to on here. I assured them I would not if they'd honor their words but after what had almost been a month of dealing with this... we are extremely upset. We also were charged the full amount at booking opposed to the first payment and were told it was a mistake on their end. We didn't mind and moved forward only to realize this would be the setting for the entire course of doing business. Good luck to the next guest; don't plan on using the pool unless it's hot and should you need anything they don't want to take care of you won't hear from them!

The BEST time!
We could not have picked a better place for our group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids). The kitchen was fully stocked and had everything we needed. We all had a blast playing in the pool (it was heated to the perfect temp for March) and relaxing in the hot tub. The kids played countless games of darts! The house was located in a convenient location and made it easy to get to wherever we were going. We really enjoyed it!

The property was exactly as expected. One exception was an extra king bed instead of queen, but that was nice. Pool and hot tub were very nice. Had some difficulty turning on hot tub, but eventually were able to follow the instructions. We had eight adults in the group and all enjoyed the facility.
