Best VRBO yet
This was our best stay yet. The house was perfect. It had everything we needed and then some. I wouldn't change a thing about our stay. Getting to feed the deer was a plus. Great job Lynn and Jerry. We will definitely be back.

Great cabin
Very comfortable cabin in a quiet location, but convenient to restaurants and shops with a short drive. Interior tastefully decorated by Lynn and property remodeled and maintained by Jerry. They also provided corn to feed the deer right off the back porch! The deer apparently expect their Jerry and Lynn snack at least twice a day, so I complied! I would highly recommend this property.

Fredericksburg retreat
This cottage, the location and our entire stay was awesome. The hosts have made sure everything you could possibly want is provided. This cottage is immaculately well kept, cozy and comfortable. Decorations were beautiful; there was even a Christmas tree! My husband especially enjoyed sitting on the porch, watching and feeding the deer. I cannot think of anything negative to say about this cottage or the hosts. When we return to Fredericksburg in the future, we wouldn’t consider staying anywhere else.

Spotted Fawn Cottage
Lynn, & Jerry are gracious and personable hosts. Our stay was nothing but a positive experience as it was in our previous visit. The cottage is very comfortable, seasonally decorated, short of no details, close to the downtown area and restaurants. Deer come up to the back porch fence and eat corn while you are relaxing in the comfortable outdoor furniture. Highly recommend staying here.

Wife's birthday
The process was simple and the hosts instructions were very easy to follow. The stay was amazing in every way to the cleanliness of the property to feeding the deer every morning and dusk. It was really close to main street so going out during the day to see Fredericksburg and returning at night was a huge plus. Lynne and Jerry were the best hosts and they made our stay very pleasant and wonderful! Will definitely be booking with them again in the future

Cabin with a view
Cabin had everything you would possibly need. Very neat and clean. The way it was decorated and furnished made it a very relaxing and comfortable place to stay. Corn to feed the deer was an added bonus. Deer showed up to be fed more times a day than you would expect. Close to town but away enough that you felt that you were in the country. We would recommend it to anyone and hope to come back soon!

Perfect Anniversary Getaway
This beautiful guesthouse is exactly what we wanted. We like our accommodations to be as much of the vacation as the adventures, dining, and sightseeing. It's the perfect size with a full living room, kitchen, bedroom, and bath. No skimping on details or extras. The back porch, facing a meadow, is the real star of the show as hummingbirds, butterflies, and deer keep you company. That's not just a photo on the VRBO website--it really happens. Lynn & Jerry are great hosts, and if we're back this way, their guest house is our first choice! I highly recommend.

Weekday Vacation
Retired and frequently take trips and stay in VRBOs or ABNB or similar. Our original goal was to drive the Twisted Sisters in our convertible sports car, but it canceled for rain so we hung out instead. We were extremely delighted to find this is not just a place to sleep but is a well planed, carried out, and maintained retreat from the world. There are two porches facing flower gardens planted for butterflies and hummingbirds, which entertain constantly while you sit and look out over the property, which is like an undiscovered park. The interior is decorated exquisitely with surprises to pique your imagination and is very comfortable and CLEAN. The ADA shower is amazing. The kitchen has every item you could possibly want even if you wanted to do any type of baking and there is a new clean outside gas BBQ. There is also a washer-drier, which we did not use. Downtown Fredericksburg has all kinds of interesting shops, wine tasting, and museums and there is a large HEB if you are not into eating out three times a day while you are here. We are definitely coming back.

Perfect Place. Perfect Stay. Again!
Not our first stay at The Cottage and it again did not disappoint. Lynn and Jerry make everything comfortable and perfect. The world just melts away when sitting on the back porch sipping coffee in the mornings or wine in the evenings, watching the wildlife in the field behind. Great spot just a short drive from the bustle of downtown Fredericksburg. So relaxing and can't wait for out next trip!
