Our group of moms came to stay. We loved the house. It was close walking distance to the town. The living room furniture was comfy to sit on and talk. The porch was awesome. We spent a lot of time out there just chatting. I'd stay here again! Thanks for making it really comfortable and homey.

A doll house that was beautiful and welcoming.

This lovely house is perfectly situated just a few blocks from the main street of Fredericksburg. There was ample space for our group of six to spread out or gather together. The kitchen was fully equipped, including a perfect-for-our-needs mini dishwasher. We enjoyed time on the large front porch. My only reservation about this rental is that the bed my husband and I chose was not very comfortable. There were two more bedrooms than we needed, so we probably should have channeled our inner Goldilocks and checked them out. The management company was quick to answer any questions that arose. Overall, it was a perfect place for our family gthering.

Fantastic property! Tons of space, so close to main street, and just adorable.
Was not told we could not use the driveway until the day before my stay. When i received pre-check in email with contact info i reached out but got no response. Had to call the company to get access info because none ever came. Definitely worth staying here though.

A wonderful old house in the perfect location. We had a small mix of friends and family, adults and kids, and loved shopping and dining our way through downtown Fredericksburg just before Xmas.
The park with all its lights is just a block away. Downtown shops and restaurants less than a 5 minute walk.
Wonderful and comfortable house. We will be back!

Fantastic house with plenty of accommodations to suite the entire family. We will definitely return.
10.0 / 10.0
Our group loved the atmosphere of the historic home. The house was charming and unique. It has real character, but also, some quirks due to its age. The house is little squeaky and not in perfect shape, but that is because of the age of the home. Guests should know they can communicate any questions or concerns to the company and receive quick response!
Thanks for a great time!

This house worked pretty perfectly for a large multi-generational family visit. The 5 bedrooms gave everyone private sleeping space but there were plenty of common space to share and visit in. From breakfast and coffee around the dining table, to wine and cards under the Arbor, to chatting in the living room, the house was a perfect base for spending time in as well as making it easy to walk to shops/restaurants and only a short drive out to wineries/distilleries and other sites!

The house was warm and inviting, making you feel like a stay at Grandma’s house. We will be coming back again!

Had an awesome Mother’s Day weekend in this house, in Fredrickberg! Cozy, well decorated house. Comfortable beds. House was clean, yard kept. Great location, within walking distance from all the fun!
6.0 / 10.0
The location is wonderful. The drive up to the property is very disappointing!!!!! The yard had not been mowed in over a month. Debris from the storm several weeks ago was everywhere. All flower beds have weeds no flowers which I understand with the heat needs to be weeded. Giant cobwebs on the porch, the air conditioner struggles in the afternoon to keep up with the heat. The vintage single pane windows offer no support in the heat. The drip coffee maker does not work and the Kureg had a clog in the supply line and was not functioning on the last day. Luckily one person brought her own coffee pot as b n b's don't have functioning coffee makers, so we had one. The mattress upstairs was concave and the hump in the middle looked like a dead body. No one slept there so we doubled up in other rooms. The couches downstairs are vintage and cute but you almost fall through the springs. It is very charming and close in which was nice to meet everyone's needs but it is overpriced for what you get. I would look elsewhere.

I booked this place for my bachelorette trip and was excited for a cute historic house. There were 8 of us and were extremely disappointed that one shower was not in a good condition. It was leaking, there was mold, and the bath wash in the bathroom came out in clumps and was gross. I contacted the guest contact and she just said it was on their maintenance schedule. We should have been told that beforehand if so. The picture of the bathroom on the property listing is not accurate and the shower rod was even broken and manually taped back together. Description was misleading with regard to the condition of the house, specifically the one bathroom.
The house is very quaint and has a good location near downtown. It had plenty of space to sleep and has that old time charm to it. But for a large group and with this Texas heat, you need two good working showers at a minimum. One bathroom not being usable was a major inconvenience and defeated the purpose of renting a house for our group. We lost valuable time, adjusting with the one usable bathroom. We are disappointed and I hope the owner/manager will compensate us for the misleading representation.

This property was in a prime location - walkable to the main street and all the shopping and restaurants. The house is spacious and comfortable for a larger group. The beds were comfortable and the multiple living rooms allowed our larger group to gather or spread out.

Great, comfy beds! Very big sitting area for us all to visit and drink coffee. Walking distance to down town. Our mom was celebrating her 74th birthday and she loved it!

This home was comfortable and had plenty of space for our group of 6. Everyone had their own bed, and there was so much common space for us to spread out in the house. We had every amenity we needed. Our weekend was cold and rainy, but we stayed warm here in this home. We spent the day out, and spent our evening watching movies and playing cards around the dining room table. I definitely recommend this property.

We celebrated our Bride to be, we did a wine tour and they picked us up at the property and had us back in time for shopping and dinner. It’s right off the Main Street, with lots of food and shopping options. The house is set up beautifully, with plenty of space for our 10 guests as well as bringing in the charm of Fredericksburg. We are big antique lovers and the home has plenty!

The house was large with 5 bedrooms and accommodated our large group, however we were very disappointed in the house. Upon arriving, a plumber was working trying to get the water running. He was able to get us water on but this should have been done before our arrival. The house was not clean. There were cobwebs in several of the rooms and the large living area had dead bugs on the end tables and on the floor. We found multiple bugs crawling on the blinds and some on the floor. The smoke detectors were not working in all the rooms. This is a code violation. There were multiple light bulbs burned out. We had trouble getting the TVs to work. I called and someone did come out and get a couple of them to come on. However, the cables were not working on the TVs upstairs and the representative told me that was out of her control to get that fixed. The coffee pot did not work and was extremely dirty. There was a Keurig that we were able to use. The outside tables were very dirty and we had to clean them off before we could sit out side. I understand that this is a historical home and very old but it should be cleaned and everything should be working.

Fredericksburg horse races weekend
My family and our friends stayed and the house was perfect for our needs. Plenty of comfortable beds and rooms for everyone and just a block off of main street and we were able to walk to restaurants and bars. The 5 bedrooms was a huge plus!

Arbor House
Great place to stay during our weekend vacation to Fredericksburg. Very charming home. Walking distance to Main Street was great. The only con to the stay was that the patio was extremely dirty. The cushions were a mess with bird droppings so we were not all able to sit out back unless we scrubbed the table and picked the few decent cushened chairs for seating. The cushions should be cleaned regularly if guest are to enjoy the outside space.

Beautiful Home
This wonder property is located just 2 blocks from Main Street in Fredericksburg. Located just a few minutes from food, shopping and wine tasting. It was very cozy and the rental staff were very helpful. I would definitely stay at this location again.

A little overpriced but can't beat the location
We had a great trip - it's literally two blocks from Main St and has a great front porch and living room for catching up with friends. But I will say that it seemed a tad overpriced (location notwithstanding) given that the house was a little outdated. Also, the top two bedrooms aren't very well insulated, so I'm not sure I'd recommend booking in the winter or height of summer - one of our nights was in the 40s and it was super cold in my room despite having a separate thermostat for the top floor.

Wonderful Retreat for Girls’ Wine Wkd!
The Dollhouse was such an adorably charming home for our recent Girlfriends’ Weekend in Fredericksburg! Darling decor yet very modern touches throughout. Perfect space with bedrooms and large indoor/outdoor living spaces to enjoy and amazing location to Main Street. Highly recommend. Thank you, Bobbie, for all of your assistance and responsive before, during and after our stay. Will certainly book again!
