This house had everything we could have ever wanted. The kitchen was fully equiped, the bathrooms were spacious, the hot tub was warmed, the firewood was stocked by the pit and the animals were friendly. My husband absolutely loved the remote location and we never even ventured into town. There were plenty of wineries & restaurants for us in the area.

We loved staying on Monarc Ranch during our trip to Fredericksburg! Outside of town on a beautiful ranch, quaint farmhouse was perfect for our stay. The host are very attentive to details, they will spoil you. ❤️ Homemade biscuits and pumpkin blossoms were there on our arrival. A sweet anniversary gift as well. 🍾🥂🎂 Perfect for a quiet relaxing get away while enjoying Fredericksburg!

We enjoyed our stay. Feels just like home. So quiet and relaxing. A nice comfortable house with all the amenities. Along with fresh homemade pastries and other breakfast items to choose from. We enjoyed the hot tub. Cows, cats, kittens, and deer visited us.

Overall happy with our stay. It is away from the city but not too far about 10-15 mins. The outside is a little dirty with webs and bugs but it is on a ranch, so there’s that. Cats all over the property , one even climbed on the wire door. We barely got to see cows or horses. There’s a nice campfire area a few feet away from the house and the jacuzzi is pretty big.

Nice two bedroom, two bath just off the main road in Fredericksburg. Monica's house has everything you need for a stay near the wine country. Homemade biscuits were a nice touch. You'll probably get a visit from the cats to welcome you. Enjoyed our stay.

This is a picturesque property quietly tucked away in the country but only 15 minutes from town. We instantly felt at home. My favorite part was sitting on the front porch swing and watching the deer. I hope to get to go back.

An absolutely perfect stay, appreciated, having a good dog, friendly place where the dog literally dug her feet in and almost refused to leave when it came time. Extremely quiet and private and an excellent getaway. Not too far from Fredericksburg about 10 to 15 minutes out. Monica has thought of everything and all the little touches make a big difference, I will return just as soon as possible

I stayed here for my 57th birthday and loved every. single. minute. A cow was standing in front of the house to greet us when my friend and I drove up. Bonus points right there. We got in with no problem and walked through just marveling at everything, from the scenes painted on the walls to the enormous tubs to the homey decor. I let my friend have the bigger/primary bedroom because the one I took just pulled me in from pleasant childhood memories if staying with a beloved aunt whose home was furnished similarly with antiques and had a very good vibe. So the hot tub was absolutely top notch and my main reason for choosing this place, it git nice and hot and was clean and was private. But then! The tubs inside...oh my goodness we almost skipped that, so glad I took one before the trip was over. And now I've got to get one for my own home or just have to return soon!! 🙃 Monica was the best - she made the best biscuits I've ever had, and jelly, and banana bread. And a birthday cake for me! My favorite, carrot! Everything from scratch and so wonderful. This reminds me of the premise of all these rentals nowadays under the description B&B. Yes, she is an amazing hostess all right. We stayed 3 nights and I can't wait to come back. Thanks so very much, please don't change a thing. ❤️

We stayed here hoping for a quiet retreat in advance of the Christmas hustle bustle and it was great. The house is a country farm house with rwo spacious bedrooms and bathrooms, well stocked kitchen and an unexpected bonus: TV trays. Loved it. Just like home. We also appreciated the Roku setup with Netflix and Prime Video. Monica is a great host and her daily treats were excellent. Highly recommend.

Lovely home with everything we needed. Host was very gracious and even made a cheesecake to help celebrate my birthday. Very clean home and especially like each bedroom had their private ensure. Will definitely be back!

A wonderful place to get away from the hustle and bustle of today's stressors. Monica was a wonderful host. The only issue we had was knowing that there were 3 rentals on their vast ranch. We stopped at the first one, not knowing that this one was further back on the ranch.
Although we live in the country, this was such a nice, relaxing getaway. The hot tub was perfect. The roaming bulls added to the charm of the place. And the quiet was divine.
Also, it is only a short drive into downtown Fredericksburg.
And, the cinnamon rolls were definitely delicious, as were the rest of Monica's goodies!
We definitely plan to return.

Secluded. Spotlessly clean. A little slice of Nirvana. Damn good cinnamon rolls home made. You got any issues they are on it. Had a wasp nest on that sweet front porch and within the hour, it was taken care of.

Relaxing getaway near Fredericksburg!
Our family had a wonderful weekend in Fredericksburg. The property was exactly as described, and the check-in and check-out process were seamless. Monica left us an amazing array of yummy homemade breakfast foods. Our dog loved going for walks around the ranch. We look forward to staying here again in the near future!

OK, this property is AMAZINGLY all inclusive. We have NEVER stayed anyplace where there was more for us. Fresh biscuits and muffins, milk, eggs, orange juice, snacks, apple juice, cereal (hot and cold), and so on. The hot tub is EXCELLENT. The property is gated and private. There is 1 other cabin next door (no one was there while we stayed), but otherwise you have complete privacy. We saw a few cows, a horse, and some cats. All seem very accustom to people. Now, let me say if YOU are the type that expect "SPOTLESS", this may not be the place for you. It is "in the sticks". As such, you will likely encounter a bug or a spiderweb or a bit of dust. The property has a "lived in" appeal. I felt it was quite clean, but it is perhaps similar to visiting an elderly relative. Lots of light. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and the owners are very prompt to respond if you need anything. The gate on the front of the property is a really nice perk.

Me and 2 girlfriends stayed here for a Girl's Trip. It was like staying at grandma's house and brought back lovely memories looking at all the decor and knick knacks. It was so relaxing and quiet. We loved the quietness at night and the animals on the property. (Especially the mama cat and her 4 kittens).
Monica was an amazing host and left yummy homemade breakfast pastries for us each day!
It was a very relaxing stay and we hope to stay here again sometime.

The house so much reminded me of my PaPa's place on a nearby ranch that he used to manage. Monica is the most friendly owner and she sure can bake! Looking forward to staying here again.

Quaint and Relaxing
We had great directions and communication with our host so check in was uncomplicated. The property is out of the country and had that home charm feeling. The inside of property was not as clean as we would have liked. The hot tub needed attention as well.

Perfect anniversary getaway
Monica was a great host, she responded to messages in a timely manner. The property itself had very cute Valentine's Day decorations (you could see the love and care the owner puts into the property to make you feel welcomed). Upon arrival we were greeted with homemade baked goods which were very delicious. The hot tub was perfect to relax in and gaze at the stars. The location of the home is minutes away from everything we loved to do, it's very convenient! I would definitely recommend this place and look forward to booking again in the future! :)
Oh and I must also mention, the host gave us a free bottle of champagne to celebrate our anniversary!

Perfect cozy house. The host really makes it feel like home. Loved the property! The little touches were really the best. The location was perfect for us, not too far from town, quiet and secluded. We will definitely be back again.

Magical
We wanted, or rather needed an exclusive get away, and this BNB hit everything out of the park, the ranch is so quiet, and I have never…..I mean never felt so welcomed and pampered. First the home is meticulously furnished with everything one could need for a stay of comfort, I just could not believe the attention to detail, it is a charming little vintage ranch home the country quaint character is still intact yet it has all the modern comforts. And!!!! We got homemade biscuits! The best I have ever put in my mouth. Homemade cranberry bread and Valentine’s Day brownies that were heaven ! And our last nights stay Monica messaged and asked what we would like for breakfast! I was like ohhhh myyyyy gosh!!! And that evening as we sat by the fire pit an incredible O’Brien Casserole still warm with tender sausage, melty cheesy, and big perfectly cooked potatoes in it was delivered still warm ready to be reheated in the morning.
My mouth still waters thinking about all the homemade goodness! This will be our regular getaway, We cannot thank Monica and Marc enough for sharing this magical place in earth and all the homemade treats.
Can’t wait to come back😊
It is a place to reflect and re center yourself for sure

Under the Crepe Myrtles is a lovely little old cottage with modern bathrooms and an extremely well-stocked kitchen. Host Monica left homemade biscuits and jelly and later brought us a delicious spinach fritatta. Pearl the horse is nearby to pet and the set up for evening bonfires is excellent. I was able to use the washer and dryer and cook an entire Christmas dinner. Very relaxing place just a few miles outside of Fredericksburg!

Cozy and peaceful
So welcoming, beautiful drive to the ranch and then again to the house after entering the gate. The house is so sweet and homey with all the amenities, comforts of home. Delicious treats and cute gift from the owner. Peaceful, calming atmosphere outside with land to walk, trail to the river was the best. So quiet, especially at night stargazing. The animals were my favorite part! Cows wandering and grazing, sweetest horse, and a playful cat. Country living is hard to leave. Thanks to the owners for sharing this lifestyle!
