Things to Know We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels worldwide. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally, a decorative top sheet. Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available. The fireplace is not operational. Parking notes: There is free parking available for 2 vehicles. Please note: this home resides in a noise-sensitive area and the owners participate in our Good Neighbor protection program. Our smart home technology will alert our team if excessive decibel or occupancy levels are detected, allowing us to reach out directly with a reminder of maximum occupancy and quiet hours. This technology is privacy compliant, and only monitors the presence of decibels and devices-not any personal conversation or information. Thank you for supporting our efforts to be good neighbors!

The house was a well restored farm house in a quiet area of town , conveniently located and very comfortable. The only glitch was the dishwasher. It had rancid standing water in the bottom and began to leak onto floor!
Outside of that issue, the place was nice and comfortable.

Very nice place , great backyard and outside area . This house was a neat old place that was clean , comfortable and well maintained. Check in and out was easy and Vacasa is a great choice to rent from . Very easy experience. I would recommend this house and vacasa to rent through.

Large Single Bedroom Cottage... private and homey, full kitchen and en-suite bathroom/tub combo.
A deer was lingering in the backyard on Monday morning, which was a delight to see.

Everything was clean. Then I pulled the blankets back and found a hair on the sheet. It was a quiet neighborhood with close access to an HEB and Walmart. The abundance of windows let in a lot of sunlight but it also made it feel like everyone could see in. The price was great and it was better than a hotel. 😊

I brought my preteen daughter here for a weekend one-on-one getaway to have fun, hike, chat, shop, explore, etc. It was the perfect location for us (2 girls). We felt safe. The curb appeal could use some taming, but the inside was wonderful! A great location to relax in-between excursions out around Fredericksburg. It was not super peaceful, as a busy street is not too far from the cottage, as traffic is easy to hear. You had to park on the street, but it's a wide street.
The location was central, but not walkable to Main Street. It is 1/4 mile from HEB, so easy to get groceries.
The TV worked well, as we watched some shows at night and in the hot afternoon.
The bathroom lighting is dim, so I moved a makeup mirror out to the main area to do my makeup & hair.
The bathroom lights went out on Saturday, and the management was very responsive about it! Not a big deal at all, but we appreciated the response.
There were a fair amount of mosquitos in the cottage, but not sure how to fix that. It's TX summer.
Overall, it was a great destination!

This is our second stay at Cosmos and it didn't disappoint again! Great little cottage and very nice location to downtown Fredericksburg and Wineries. My partner and I worked remotely during part of our stay and the sunroom and dining room setup was perfect for it! Close proximity to an HEB grocery as well. All around, I definitely recommend this place!

Close to all attractions and in town, but nerss work. The home is nicely located in Fredericksburg. The cleanliness of the home was poor. The manager was responsive, but after you're in a place, how can they clean it. I won't get into the specifics, but both Vacsa and the manager got most of the pics I took of the poor condition I found the home. Beware.

The house was nice, clean, everything you would expect. Parking at the house was easy. Location was close enough to town. The perfect short term rental for a town like Fredericksburg in a lot of ways. No complaints on that front.
However,
Issue 1- when we walked in, the smoke alarm was chirping every 2 minutes. Notified management but no one did anything about it. I ended up climbing on a chair to disconnect it. Management did not do anything about it until the next day. If I had been unwilling or unable to get up on the chair, the house would have been impossible to sleep in that night. And if I had fallen? Should have never been it that position in the first place.
Issue 2- there was only 1 towel in the bathroom. Notified management but nothing was done about it. We ended up finding more towels in the dryer later that night.
Is this were a private owner I would have much more tolerance for this sort of thing, but this house is owned by Vacasa, who should be much more on top of things, and I bet a private owner would not have these problems at all. I certainly would not expect it at a hotel, which is the standard to which I hold corporate owners of short term rental properties.

At first glance the property makes a good impression. Entrance was easy as instructions were on time. My wife was ecstatic. Cute house, decorated nice, and tons of places to sit outside for morning coffee or evening cocktail. When we opened the door, the smell of backed up sewer, defective P-trap or rotten food in disposal almost took our breath away. It almost has the smell of a natural gas or propane leak. I assured her it was not the latter. After 2 calls of 20 minutes of hold , I gave up and followed a prompt to leave a text. No response to the text, nor follow up the next day. After the second night of sewer smell, we left for a day trip. That afternoon on arrival, we noticed our trash had been taken out and the smell was mostly gone, possibly 90% improvement. I sent a message to ask a question as to the cause, because the smell was creeping back the next day. NO RESPONSE. Thankfully we spent most of the days away from the house. I give 1 star due to the smell. The house was actually clean. There is NO WAY that someone didn't know about this beforehand. Any sane person that had access to prepare that house would have smelled this. It was simply ignored.

It was ok
Could use some free breeze before renting out.
Really musky smelling
Maybe a deep cleaning would help curtains had dead bugs behind bed and a few in the bed

This is a super place for two. The house was as advertised. It had everything we wanted? We made day trips. One was to see the Alamo. The town was fun. We went to the local theater and saw a wonderful performance.

We enjoyed our stay in the wonderful historic well appointed cottage. We loved the antique furnishings! The accommodations were very comfortable and the location was great. I do have a couple suggestions. A larger trash receptacle in the kitchen. One coffee pot does not work properly and needs to be discarded. There is a second coffee pot that works fine. Would be nice to have a clear set of instructions describing TV remotes to turn on the system. Great stay. Highly recommended this property!

This is a delightful little house fully furnished with everything you'd need even if you never leave the house. It is ideal if one wants to sleep while the other stays up as the bedroom and living room are separated. There is outdoor seating both on the from porch and in the back yard. There is a swing in the back and the large back yard that be great for dogs if they allowed them. There is a coquet set though so you can have fun in all that space. It is not far from Main Street, has a Walgreens across the street and is only a couple of blocks from an HEB. Easy to get to. Booking was easy. It's very comfortable and relaxing. Will definitely stay there again if we go to Fredericksburg without the dogs.
