Summary:

Escape to your private Fredericksburg cottage, designed for romance and relaxation. Unwind in the hot tub under the stars, sip wine by the fireplace, or soak in the vintage-style tub. With a king bed, vaulted tin ceilings, and a private courtyard, this boutique retreat is just minutes from Main Street and Hill Country wineries.



The Space:

*Temporary Notice: Our outdoor shower was unfortunately damaged in the recent ice storm and will be out of service until April 1 as we source a replacement. All other amenities remain fully operational.*

Unwind in a king-sized bed with luxury linens, complete with a double-sided fireplace for the perfect romantic atmosphere. An oversized soaking tub sits within the bedroom area, creating a boutique spa experience right in your suite. A flat-screen Roku TV makes it easy to relax with a favorite show after a day of exploring.

The Neighborhood:

The Cottage is set on what was once an 1880s homestead, offering a quiet Hill Country escape just one mile from Fredericksburg’s historic Main Street. Guests love being close to the action — wineries, restaurants, and boutique shops — while still enjoying the privacy of their own retreat. A short stroll out back leads to open fields and peaceful sunset views.
