The Dove House | Adorable/Firepit/Quaint/Private (by WTG)

This adorable 1940's Sunday house is perfectly located between downtown Fredericksburg and the 290 Wine Trail. Situated on two private acres on a quiet street with a wood burning fireplace and it's own gate, activities here include gathering on the front porch for sunsets, wildlife viewing and peaceful mornings drinking coffee in the gorgeous vintage inspired living room and kitchen. Just 5 miles from Luckenbach, 1 mile from Bankersmith, and a 10 min country drive to downtown or the wineries.

This is a really special house. It was originally located in downtown Fredericksburg next to the Catholic church where traveling nuns would use it as quarters when visiting town. It was moved out to it's current location 15 years ago and it's more beautiful than ever. They just don't build houses like this anymore. It feels like you're in a perfect dollhouse, and the woodburning stove in the kitchen just adds to the cozy factor. The beds are super comfy, the living room is the perfect gathering spot or quiet spot to read a book. It also has a record player and vinyl collection for good music times. Surrounded by ranch land, nature, and the best stargazing you'll find!

Safety: We employ one security camera that faces out towards the driveway for everyone's safety.

Everything was beautiful! The house was roomy. We loved seeing the deer everyday. The host checked on us twice to make sure we didn't need anything. We had everything we needed.

My daughter and I stayed at The Dove house to celebrate her 30th birthday. As pictured, it was an adorable house … so cute, charming and cozy. It was also set in the country - peaceful and away from traffic but still close enough to anywhere in Fredericksburg. The host was so kind … he even had a “ Happy Birthday” banner hung in the kitchen to welcome us. His wife’s homemade granola is to die for! I was just sad we only stayed one night … highly recommend!
We sat on this cozy couch, ate popcorn and watched a “chick flick”
I took a picture of the wolf because my maiden name is Wolfe (I thought it was fate to stay there!)

Beautiful little house!

The house is so cute. We enjoyed the decor, the record player and the feel of the old house. It was very clean and cozy. The only thing that could be improved was the back bedroom mattress. Otherwise it was perfect for a sweet little getaway!

Country home

This lovely little house has a great location. You have the benefit of country quiet while still being convenient to Fredericksburg. It’s a great older home with all the conveniences you could want. The host, Jonny, was extremely attentive and available if needed.It’s a vacation home we will certainly revisit.

Charming country getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this charming little house! The vintage decor was tastefully done, and the kitchen was well-equipped with everything we needed. The host's thoughtful touch of providing milk, orange juice, and granola for breakfast was a lovely surprise.The location was perfect for us - far enough from Fredericksburg to enjoy the peace and quiet, but still within easy driving distance. We loved watching the stars and spotting wildlife from the property.One minor suggestion: it would be great to have extra toilet paper rolls on hand. Additionally, providing a bundle of firewood for the chiminea would be a nice touch for future guests (though we didn't miss it due to the fire ban).We noticed a slight musty smell upon entering the house, likely due to its age. However, it didn't detract from our overall stay.Overall, we highly recommend this cozy retreat and appreciate the host's attention to detail.
