Perfect Country Cabin Stay

What a wonderful stay we had at this perfect historical cabin! We traveled with our family for a weekend get together. Close to town, yet the feeling of being in the country. We found the house to be super clean and check in was so easy. Already want to go back!

Lovely country getaway

Original house from 1850s with antique insides as well and older bathrooms. Lots of room for 4 people. Loved the firepit. Location perfect to anywhere in Fredericksburg area (5 minute drive to downtown). Only thing I wish it had was a dishwasher.

Country flair in a great location

We stayed at this house with friends for a weekend couples getaway. The property is clean and well cared for. It provides a relaxing country cottage feel that makes you think you're miles from anywhere but is still an incredibly convenient location for touring the wineries and visiting Fredericksburg. The grill and fire pit made it easy to come back and prepare a relaxing dinner then kick back and unwind after a day out. Would definitely recommend staying here.

Rustic setting

Check in and property were just fine. The overall property was clean however, the kitchen did not fall into the same category. One drawer in the refrigerator was a third full of some liquid and the door seal was sticky making it difficult to open the door. The table and some cabinets needed to be cleaned before we felt comfortable using them. One coffee pot did not work. We had asked about availability of a propane grill and were told one was available only to be told once we arrived that this property didn’t come with one. These items made me question the effectiveness of management and detracted from an otherwise enjoyable trip.

Lovely, Cozy, Old Historical Home with many antiques

The VRBO description of the property was just what we were looking for as we are all ages 58 and up. We received a check in code via email, then prior to our stay we received a follow up text message. When we arrived at the home it was cold and raining. We entered the code provided, however, it did not work. We then had to call the cozi vacation rentals only to be placed on hold while running back to our car to get out of the cold and rain. We sat on hold for a few minutes and finally an answer, explained our situation and they provided us with a new code and said that they had lost internet service. They apologized and we entered the new code and it worked. Upon entering the home it was 65 degrees and cold. We found the thermostat and turned it on and warmed the home up after about 30 minutes. The home was very unique and historical and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The down side is we received several emails from VRBO and several from Cozi, often with different information for check in and check out. It would be nice to get all information at once. For Example: One said check out procedure was to take out the trash and place in receptacle at the side of the house. The trash receptacle was left at the end of the drive which was approx. 50 to 100 ft away, thus luckily we had a truck and took it all on our way out. The next email we got said to place the thermostat at 74 degrees, strip the beds and the cleaning people would do the rest then to lock the door using a different code but then wanted you to create a log in to get it. We chose the original check out process. So better communication between VRBO and Cozi Vacation Rentals would be helpful. We did love our stay in the home and the quietness, unfortunately we never saw any wildlife, maybe next time.

Good but could be better …

Loved the nostalgia. Thanks for the historical memories. Really cool old farmhouse. Here’s why we rated 3 - front porch light stayed on all night once triggered. Front BR bed was extra poor quality, MBR wasn’t much better. No ceiling fans so once doors shut there wasn’t any circulation. MBR Bath was tub only. Main Bath Door didn’t lock. No personalization - Greeting Card, Treats, etc. instead of over-communicating the CheckIn/Out process. For price would expect more overall. Happy to discuss further if desired.

Fun weekend get away

This was a great place to rent for a weekend. The history of the place, the location, the kitchen worked out well for our group. The only downside and we didn't notice it in the listing, but both bathrooms were not ADA compliant. We had a disabled person with us and the step down into the main bathroom and the clawtubs were not managable for them.

Would stay again if...

We enjoyed our stay in this historic cabin. There was plenty of space for the 4 of us to spread out, which was nice since we stayed 4 nights. We loved the large kitchen and the ability to prepare a few meals during our stay. The glassware, dishware and cutlery were a little hodgepodge, but we managed. We were happy to see extra paper towels and toilet paper, as well as an ample supply of toiletries, towels and wash cloths. Another nice touch is the full size washer and dryer. Many vacation rentals do not offer this. We particularly enjoyed the rocking chairs and swing on the front porch where we had our coffee each morning. While there were many things we liked about the cabin, there were a few misses as well. The description is somewhat misleading. It states there are 2 king beds when in fact, there is 1 king and 1 queen bed. The cabin actually presents much nicer in the photos than in person. The furniture is a bit tired and the cabin is more rustic than it appears and it is very dimly lit. Instructions on how to work the televisions/dish would have been helpful. We had some difficulty and also found corroded batteries in one of the remotes and had to borrow from the other remote. Since we could not get the tv to work, it would have been nice to have a dvd/blue ray player since we brought movies with us. Despite the misses we mentioned, we would definitely stay again. We do, however, encourage management to stay a night or two in the cabin to get a feel for what would make the stay better. A few very simple and low cost touches would make the stay more comfortable. Ask the cleaning staff to check the remote batteries, watch the lightbulbs, tighten the loose toilet seats, add a blue ray player, get a matched set of dishes, cutlery and wine glasses. Leave some information on the history of the combined cabins, perhaps some before and after photos. Do a few things and invite us back, we will come!

Peaceful getaway

This property has so much history. I loved the historic charm. Great deal for the property. We had deer all around us. We loved sitting out on the porch in the swing and watching the deer. It was so quiet and peaceful. Just a great getaway place but close enough to Fredericksburg. We loved it and would book again.

So close to being fantastic but misses the mark

This is a difficult review to write. The property is so incredible in many ways, but a couple of things really missed the mark and had our stay fall a little flat. Throughout the home, there were many lightbulbs out. The place was quite dark in the daytime, despite having a full wall of windows and bright sun. The ceiling and kitchen lights being out were the biggest inconvenience of the lot. Internet access was not working for us. I called the support line, they reset the modem, I reset the modem (I work in technology for a living), and nothing worked. There was some other issue I didn't, nor wanted to, try to solve. Instead, I went to my car with internet to do work in the evening. To say this was a downer is an understatement. Stable internet in this day and time is really no longer a luxury. The internet issue was not for any personal, gaming devices. We needed it for work in the evenings and did not have it. This is a huge zero. There were more than a few stinkbugs, wasps, and fleas (in the bed and on the couch) in the house. The furniture, while "unique", also looks much better in photo than in real life. The beds were ok, but don't expect the same type or quality of mattress you probably have at home. If the unit were priced around $125 nightly I wouldn't give these things a second thought. However, spending close to $1,000 for two nights between booking fees, cleaning fees, room rates, etc, this was not worth the money. As the title of the review says, this is so close to being fantastic. If the internet had worked, the light bulbs worked, and we wouldn't have woken the first morning to having red bites on our legs, the review would have been much better (we ended up stripping the sheets on both beds, and used the linens we brought with us). Toss in some new furniture using the $1,000 we just shelled out for this place and now you have a winner all around for the next booking. Not related to the cabin, the booking fees almost doubled the nightly rate. As nice as this could be, it would never be worth $500 nightly (as it works out when fees are added in). VRBO should do a better job on minimizing the fees on their end rather than passing all of this along to us.

Historical Charm

Beautiful historical cottage that feels like a step back in time with the sights and sounds of the hill country but convenient to Fredericksburg and surrounding wineries. Clean, well maintained and nicely appointed. Although listing shows 2 king beds, 1 bed is king and 1 is queen.

Great Country Home

We had a great time staying at the Historic Cabin. It was. a clean well maintained property. The screened in porch, patio with a fire pit and firewood , front porch swing and rockers made for great places to enjoy the country scenery. The corn hole game was a fun activity. We had a little confusion when two different entrance codes were sent to us. A gentle suggestion would be to have little information cards posted telling about the historical items in the house. Great country location but not to far from town.

A few problems

There was supposed to be two king beds, but there was one king and one Queen. There was a septic issue and a bad smell at the back of the cabin. No dishwasher, but that could have been a misunderstanding on our part
