Birthday getaway in Fredericksburg!
Amazing property!! It's a beautiful home with the best feel. The backyard was a little overgrown by the pool, which created a bit of a mosquito problem. Overall a wonderful day and would absolutely stay again!

Great stay in a historical home with current day upgrades. Grounds were immaculate, the cleanliness was superb and the bedrooms were as promised. From ages 10-69, we enjoyed our 3 night stay. When questions came up, the management answered promptly.

Fredericksburg Family Stay
We had a group of 8 adults and 5 kids and fit comfortably in this house. It is a really cool setup, with large beds and plenty of space for everyone. The pool was an added bonus, but it made our stay awesome. The kitchen was fully loaded with everything we needed.

Beautiful large house
Wonderful large historic home with 5 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms plus a beautiful pool and fire pit area. We had a group of 8 family members - 3 couples and two adult children. The bedrooms are large. Two have bathrooms adjoining. The upstairs bedroom has four twin beds. The house is well organized but needs a little TLC. For instance, light switches are labeled but quite a few of the lights don’t work. One of the bathrooms had no towels and we had trouble finding some. One of the toilets needs some attention. The pool was beautiful but needed cleaning. It was a bit too cool for us to use.but was very nice to sit out by the pool in some sunshine. We enjoyed a nice fire on a clear star filled night. (Need a much more sturdy fire poker). Great place for extended family to stay - great to be together and still have privacy.

Nice house
The house was clean, very spacious, and supplied with the necessities for cooking! The kids enjoyed their space upstairs. We were originally told the pool was heated when we asked, but when we got there, we found it was not. The property manager made it right when we contacted her about it, and she was very prompt in replying to messages. It was a nice getaway with family! We enjoyed ourselves and would stay here again!

Enjoyable stay.
We enjoyed this beautiful home located just a couple miles from downtown. The only drawback was the yard was not maintained and the pool was very dirty. We specifically booked for the pool so that was a slight drawback to the overall stay.

The house has a great location near downtown. It accommodated my parents, in-laws and adult kids comfortably (9 people). We really enjoyed the pool. House was not clean/ready on arrival but this was rapidly fixed after talking to management.

Pool was unusable but house was nice
We rented this house six months in advance for a three generation girl's trip. The house was very spacious, well equipped, and a short walk to downtown. The pool clearly had not been cared for properly, as it was so green with algae bloom you could not even see the steps. Clearing a pool in this state takes at least three days, by which time we were gone. We were very disappointed not to be able to use it, as the temperatures were in the high 90s. In addition, there is an ant problem in the backyard. VRC was easy to contact and did give me a partial refund to compensate for the pool use loss.

Not really walking distance to downtown in the summer months in the Texas heat. Pool could have been cleaner. 5th bedroom was upstairs with no bathroom. It was a room with 4 twin beds and a window unit. Didn’t really understand this before booking.

Squirrel get away
Great home but improvements need to be made. Microwave did not work but the host brought us a "usable" one for the week. Host knew microwave was a problem before our arrival. The bedroom in the front room is hot they do provide a portable fan but it's not enough. The pool area is amazing to watch beautiful birds and squirrels. The pool area needs an "ant" removal party. The kitchen and supplies were amazing!
