About this cabin rental
*Please be aware that construction is occurring at the property behind this one. As a result, you might experience construction noise, particularly during day light hours on weekdays. *Please be aware that the suite only has a whirlpool tub with a handheld shower wand. There is no standup/walk-in shower. The Austin Street Retreat is an authentic historic home built by European settlers well over a century ago. Restored and embellished through the decades with modern amenities, there are now five unique suites. Located one block off Main Street in Fredericksburg's National Historic District, this premier property is an authentic Texas treasure built of stone, timber and stucco. It is situated on a large double lot shaded by old growth pecan trees and perennials from the LBJ Ranch. Each suite features elegant, charming decor along with a private terrace. Popular for Hill Country wine tours, family and friend reunions, special occasions and celebrations, the Retreat can sleep a total of twelve people. MARIA'S SUITE It all began in 1867 when immigrants John and Maria Walter built a log cabin structure and began their new life in Texas. The heritage of these pioneers is preserved here with eighteen inch thick walls, original paint on the ceiling, wood floors and wavy glass in the windows. Added later as the family grew and prospered was a limestone room. Both rooms are now bedrooms each with a Queen size bed. In addition, there is a dressing room, powder room enclosed space with a jetted tub and handheld shower and a sitting room with a flat screen TV, DVD and Time Warner cable. The lovely private terrace has an outdoor table and chairs shaded by a pecan tree which is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine. The suite does allow one dog but we ask that is is 20 lbs or less. Furthermore, there is an additional pet fee. Please bring a crate for your dog and crate him or her in your absence from the house, do not allow the dog 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 suite uses Brooklinen sheets and towels and Helix mattresses. House Rules as Required by the City of Fredericksburg's Short Term Rental Ordinance - Observe the City of Fredericksburg Quiet Hours (10pm to 7am in residential zones). No music of any kind after 10 pm. - The City of Fredericksburg is a Dark Sky Community with outdoor lighting restrictions.

The B&B is very rustic which we expected. However, the toilet did not flush very well, bathroom had roaches and the tub was not cleaned very well. Although the location was nice we would have expected more for the price

"Maria" had more than enough space for up to 4 people. The decor was terrific- very authentic. The AC, in contrast, was modern- absolutely silent, a real pleasure. It's located on a quiet road, but still close enough to the main drag that its quite walkable.

Cute, rustic cottage but kind of awkward. Front entrance is directly into bedroom. Bathtub is difficult to get into - no shower. Living area is very small. Place looks bigger in the pictures. Unable to raise window shade or turn on ceiling lights in one bedroom. The only storage area in the same bedroom is used for cleaning items. Beds were very comfortable and decor is quaint. We had great weather so sitting on the back patio was pleasant but could have used an umbrella.

Take a break and enjoy a step back in the Maria Cabin with all the added details! From the front porch swing, special tasting coffee, makeup hand towels and a rubber duck for the jetted tub to the out door quaintness of the table and chairs to enjoy a glass of wine! The location is just perfect being one block off of the main drag. Thank you for your hospitality always as I will return!

The place was charming. It was unique. My only concern was the tub. Being 60+, it was challenging for me and also my friends to get in and out of. The terrace was lovely.

The place was nice and the bed was comfortable. We had an issue with the front door lock not working but it was quickly handled by Jon. The place is rustic so if that is not what you prefer this may not be the place for you

Very quaint property and clean. The pros were that is was private and comfortable. The cons were that the street was very loud from traffic and the key was very difficult to unlock the door. The 2 porch lights were out which made it even more difficult to enter. I accidently left something there and of course it wasn't found by housekeeping. I won't stay there again.

We liked the cottage. But, the lack ofhotwater one day and after it was "fixed" the water was tepid at best.

When we arrived at Austin Street Retreat Maria, it was about 5:30pm. We had spent several hours enjoying the Nimitz Museum and were looking forward to relaxing before going out to dinner. That did not happen because we opened the door to see two unmade beds and dirty dishes by the sink. After I called about the situation, two people came to clean, which meant we had no opportunity to relax and had less time to enjoy the the cottage we had paid for. So we went straight to dinner while they were still cleaning. I was hoping to be comped for the lost time and inconvenience, but that didn't happen. The next day, we physically returned the keys to the same woman who had come to clean the previous evening. We were 15 minutes late in returning the key (because we had to wait longer for the breakfast order than expected). It never occurred to me that we would be charged for a late key return because it was just a few minutes late and also because we had been disappointed and inconvenienced by the dirty condition of the property. The late charge (only $5) was the final straw for me, so I spoke to someone at the office explaining very nicely that I was hoping to have at least the late key charge refunded. That person transferred me to the business manager whose voice mail I got. I explained again the situation. I waited a full week, and nothing happened. So I called again, explained the situation again, and was told that the manager would get my message. Another week has passed, and no one has had the professional courtesy to return my calls. I'm writing this review to express my disappointment in poor customer service and lack of professionalism.

The property looked much nicer on the internet. We did have one real issue the beds in both rooms were to high for us so we had to go buy a step stool to be able to get in bed. My sister and I are both 5 feet tall.
