LOCATION LOCATION LOCATION!!! Perfect walking distance to everything Downtown!!!
Formally known as Haussegen Platz Cottage, The Wildflower Cottage is a beautiful historic property that has been recently renovated and is only 1/2 a block from Marktplatz and 1 block from Main Street!
This 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom home was built by hand in 1994 using the original materials from the Hummingbird Haus (also available to rent) at the front of the property which was built in 1770 in Allentown Pennsylvania before being transported to Fredericksburg in 1988. A true step back in time!!
The Wildflower Cottage was designed to match the same look and feel of the 1770's Hummingbird Haus and has maintained its charm containing much of the original doors, hardware, windows, wide plank flooring and ceiling beams.
This beautiful home is located in the Historical District and Commercial District of Downtown Fredericksburg within a few steps of Marktplatz and Fredericksburg's most popular shops, restaurants, Museum of the Pacific War and is two doors down from the famous Fredericksburg Pie Company!
Whether you're looking to book a girls’ weekend, a family get together, or a couple’s getaway, we can accommodate any need with this beautiful home to enjoy your time in Fredericksburg. With all new comfy linens, furniture, bedding and mattress you will feel right at home. Every aspect of the home has beautiful décor throughout and has been thought out very carefully with our guests in mind. And the location is unbeatable!!
As you walk into the Private Cottage entrance off Austin St you will be blown away by the gorgeous and well-manicured landscaping featuring a large array of flowers, greenery and even tomatoes! All the cobblestone paver pathways were done by hand and adds to the beauty of the property and “Wildflowers”.
Enjoy a glass of wine in the evenings after a long day on the large porch in the rocking chairs listening to the birds chirp and smelling the flowers or make your way to the table on the wooden deck and enjoy a nice cup of coffee in the mornings while relaxing in the beautiful shared landscaping.
