About this house rental

Located just a short walk from Main Street this 1950 style home is both elegant and comfortable. The name “Sam Houston's Retreat” came from their favorite pet dog. You will see a variety of artwork throughout the house to remind you of Sam Houston. It is evident they have done and thought of everything to make each and every stay a special memory. Your hosts completely remodeled this awesome home in 2010 and 2013.

Walking into the front door you will be in awe of the beautiful living room. There is a red luxurious sofa with two comfortable chairs faced to enjoy both the fireplace and the 42” flat screen cable television and DVD player. There is also an awesome game table with cushioned straight back chairs to enjoy playing games or just to visit. Your hosts have provided books, games, cards and puzzles for you to enjoy during your stay. Across the hall from the living room is a bath with a large tile shower. The sunroom faces the patio and offers a beautiful setting with a majestic day bed with trundle. (Sheets in armoire).

Two bedrooms are exquisitely decorated to create both romance and royalty. The master bedroom has a king bed decked in an array of colors with the primary color being red. The armoire has another flat screened television. A loveseat in the corner is great for reading or just lounging. The second bedroom has a lovely iron queen bed topped with an array of pillows. A bathroom with a whirlpool tub and shower is found in the hall.

Do you enjoy being in a kitchen that is both efficient and awe-inspiring? This is the one. The spacious kitchen has everything you will need to create special meals or just enjoy your coffee in the morning. There is a stovetop/oven, large refrigerator, microwave, toaster oven, coffeemaker and stocked with dishes both to eat on and cook with.

Outside is a private stone patio with a wicker loveseat, chairs and grill The patio is perfect for enjoying Fredericksburg's crisp cool mornings. A board fence is perfect for your pet to run and enjoy a little exercise. The patio door does lock behind you so be very careful when going outside.

The home is pet friendly and will accept up to two dogs but each one must weigh 30 lbs or less. In addition, there is a pet fee of $27/dog/night. Due to the fact that HomeAway/VRBO does not allow us to charge for more than one dog at the time of booking, please let us know if you will be bringing more than one dog, so that we can make sure that you are charged the correct amount. If you bring more than one dog and do not let us know, you will be charged accordingly. Furthermore, please bring crates for your dogs and crate them in your absence from the house, do not allow the dogs on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.

The house was very nice. Plenty of room and a lot of charm. Walking distance to the shops and restaurants.

Everything about the house is great. If I had to nitpick, I'd say that the road noise can be loud, but we were prepared for that and brought sound machines for the bedroom. Kitchen was well equipped. Bed was comfortable. Location is an easy walk to Main Street. I would have liked the TV's to be Smart TV's, so that I could have accessed my Amazon & Youtube account. Next time I will bring a Firestick to access the internet.

We have stayed at Sam Houston’s retreat several times, and make it our go to place to stay. The location is great and it’s kept up so well. It was a birthday celebration and we will be back for the next one.

The hot tub as advertised was a small inside tub. For the price they don't furnish firewood. At 5:30am the traffic noise wakes you up no matter which bedroom your in. The living room ceiling is about to fall in. Not worth the money at all.
