This beautifully updated craftsman is rich in history, and an ideal setting for your next romantic retreat to Texas wine country. Built in 1923, and sleeping up to four guests, this lovely vacation getaway was once home to one of Fredericksburg's early mayors, Mittendorf. A light, unhosted breakfast is included in your stay.
This two-bedroom vacation rental is a short walk to Main Street, where guests can explore their choice of casual or fine dining restaurants, local artisan shops, museums, and art galleries. History buffs and wine connoisseurs will enjoy this prime location. Avid cyclists will have access to miles and miles of gorgeous bike-friendly paths through Texas Hill Country, some starting just outside your door.
This listing includes the main house only, though there's also a detached cottage, Travis Cottage, available to rent. If you're traveling with a group, consider renting the entire Travis Street property, which includes both the Travis House and Travis Cottage.
Updated exquisitely with modern conveniences, this inviting home is tastefully decorated with charming period antiques and furnishings. The living room is open and bright, with sunny walls and crown molding throughout. Leather couches face the wood-burning fireplace, with a flatscreen TV mounted on the wall, creating a nice setting for romantic movie nights.
The impressive antique furnishings and built-ins do not disappoint as you make your way into the dining room. Spend evenings dining by candlelight with your sweetheart. Enjoy a sunny Sunday brunch with friends as natural light flows from the windows into this lovely space.
The full kitchen brings together old world charm with the convenience of modern appliances. Spend romantic evenings creating homemade dinners together with produce foraged at the local farmers market (less than a mile away). A stainless steel dishwasher is included to make clean up easy.
This craftsman-style home in the heart of Fredericksburg comes with two master suites. The first romantic bedroom features lots of windows, a wrought-iron king bed, seating area for two, and is stylishly decorated.
The second bedroom is equally appealing, and also comes with a king bed and seating for two. Both king beds are fitted with high-end linens, feather pillows, and duvets.
Two full bathrooms will give two traveling couples plenty of privacy and comfort. The first full bathroom has a shower, and the second bathroom has a separate shower and soaking tub. Marilyn Monroe is endearingly featured above the bathtub, giving a classic tribute to bygone days.
Every detail of this charming home is thoughtful and contributes to a sentimental experience for four lucky adults. WiFi is available to all guests, as well as cable TV.
