Second Home Guesthouse | 1.5 Blocks from Marktplatz | Hot Tub
Just two blocks from Main Street, many locals and visitors have coveted this impressive two-story home over the years. Built in the late 1800s, Sussie Staudt lived in the house until 1990. A few years later the home was sold and renovated as a guesthouse. A large front porch with rockers has been restored with gingerbread to bring back the original look. The colors inside have kept with German tradition by declaring each room's personality painting with a different color and tying them together with red and deep blue. Pine floors and fabulous antiques are displayed both upstairs and down.
The living room has a warm, rich red gingham sofa comfortably arranged for TV viewing. These same colors are carried into the master bedroom. A grey tufted King bed is topped with white and red bedding and an assortment of fluffy pillows. The upstairs is a spacious pristine white bedroom full of color and warmth. A queen bed is decked with red, white and blue quilts and spiced with red gingham ruffles and curtains. To tie in with this traditional Fredericksburg look, there's an oversized chair adorned in red gingham to relax or read in.
In the back of the house is a kitchen equipped for light cooking. White tile backdrops and countertops and an array of decorative tiles enrich the pine cabinets.
The home has been lovingly renovated and decorated. Each room is furnished with wonderful antiques and has original pine floors and area rugs. The rooms are bright and cheerful and much thought has been given to guests' needs.
The outdoor space is equally enticing with a pleasant backyard, charcoal grill (charcoal not provided), and firepit (wood not provided). There is also a Level 2 EV charger conveniently located right next to the driveway.
Trek Enchanted Rock, hike, bike, shop till you drop, stroll through the garden or sit on the front porch, rock and just be. Enjoy!

If you really want to have experience Fredericksburg and it’s amazing vibe, this is the home for you!!!
Home was very charming, convenient, clean and in a great location. Instructions were simple and you feel right at home the moment you arrive. We would definitely comeback!!
We've stayed at this property before, so being a repeat customer says it all! The cottage is clean and well presented and exactly as advertised. My favorite thing about this property is the combining of old and new and of course the the location - walking distance to main street. We'll stay again during our next winery trip to Fredericksburg Texas.
We enjoyed our stay in Second Home guest house. It was clean, cozy, & comfortable. I loved sitting on the front porch with a cup of coffee. And liked being walking distance to Main Street. We will definitely be back!!

Clean and Adorable
So easy to get to all the action on Main Street from a very quiet and safe street. The house was roomy and cozy at the same time. Everything was very clean. The beds/pillows were very comfortable.
It was a very nice old home. The front porch was delightful to sit on and enjoy with friends. The fire pit in the back was very nice as well. We had all we needed and down town was close enough to walk and enjoy. The beds and pillows made for a great night sleep, so comfortable.
This property is everything stated online. Great location, clean, and well appointed. The rental, communication and check out process was one the best ever. We're already planning another trip and stay at the same property.
Great location and great setup for a weekend stay.
My wife and I planned a short stay in Fredericksburg. Our 12-year son was with us. The home was in a great location that offered just a short walk to the main street. The layout worked out perfectly for us with one bedroom downstairs and the second bedroom/loft being upstairs with a dedicated bathroom. The home included everything we needed. The hot tub on the back porch was nice to have. Only feedback is that I'd probably recommend the heat setting to be 100 or 101. It was 104 when we got it and took a while to cool down. Overall, the home was perfect for what we needed.
The green house was perfect for sisters weekend. Bonus to have hot tub. Walking distance to shopping and restaurants. The local info books were nice addition

The house was in a great location and had everything we needed for our stay. It was clean and everything seemed in working order. Since there was only two of us, we didn't use the upstairs area. We walked to shops and restaurants, which was nice because parking can be a problem in town. I had a couple questions before our stay and host answered very quickly. The driveway is rather narrow so a full-sized truck may have problems, but the street is wide and parking in front is not a problem. The hot tub was a good size for 2 people but 4 might find it a tight fit. We didn't use the fire pit or grill, but the backyard was nice sized. I would stay there again.

Overall great location, loved the hot tub and fenced in yard. Nice touch was the little snack basket and waters/soda in the fridge. If I would recommend one thing it would be to give us access to the washer and dryer as we had two kids and it rained causing us to get socked and couldn't dry our clothes anywhere
The property looks old. It is at corner and we heard the traffic at night. If one person makes phone call at night, the whole house can hear. No sound proof at all.
We had a wonderful weekend in Fredericksburg. The house was just as pictured. The location was perfect. Everything we needed was within walking distance. The house was clean and comfortable. We had an issue with the WiFi during our stay and the property management responded quickly and the problem was resolved within minutes. We would return!
