FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Can I have a wedding?
Yes. The price is a 4 night minimum stay and $500 event fee for less than 30 guests, $1000 for 31-60 guests, $1500 for 61-90 guests, $2000 for 91-120 guests and $2500 for 121+ guests. We can waive the 4 night minimum when you book less than 3 months away from the wedding date. For example, if you want a wedding in 30 days, we could reduce nightly minimum to 1 night. If you book and the wedding is less than 2 months away, we reduce to a 2 night stay. If the wedding is less than 3 months away, we can reduce the nightly minimum stay to 3 nights. Event fee includes, up to 100 white folding chairs with 6 foot round white folding tables that sit 10 people each, margarita machine, vendor list and virtual Photo Booth. All other add ons are extra.

CAN I CHECK IN EARLY?
It depends. Go to our calendar and see if the night before you is still available, if it is still available, then, there is a chance that you can check in as early as you want since there is no check out. Before asking me, refer to the calendar. However, we do have last minute check-ins so an early check-in cannot be guaranteed unless you purchase the night before. If early check-in is available, it will be $50 an hour. Standard check-in time is 4 PM.

CAN I CHECK OUT LATE?
It depends. Check the calendar and if the date is available on the date you check out then you can check out at any time. However, I do have last-minute check-ins, so we cannot guarantee a late check out. Regardless, we can usually provide 1 to 2 hours of a late check out even if there is a 4 PM check-in.

Incredible!!
This property was amazing! There's absolutely no other property like it in Fredericksburg. The layout was fantastic, and the place is beautiful. We have a very large family when you start including extended family and the fact that this place has so many beds/baths made everyone very comfortable. We will definitely be back!! Thank you guys so much for everything.

Location. Location. Location. This place is conveniently located near everything, yet is secluded in the country. 18 of us came together from all over. The international guests flew into Austin - not a bad drive. We experienced the Balloon Festival, took an amazing wine tour with 19th Hole, had our own square dance with the caller, Wayne Weston, we took in tunes and lunch at Luchenbach, went ice skating , had German food, experienced the Pacific War Museum. We did not scratch the surface! Great place!

Great Stay at the Retreat at Fredericksburg.
We held a family celebration for our 49th (50th minus 1) Anniversary. The house and grounds are fantastic! The most common comment from our family and friends, including the younger grandchildren, was "This house is awesome!" We had a large group; 15 adults, and 7 children. Everyone had a bedroom. The en suite bathrooms in 10 of the bedrooms were ideal. The hosts were fantastic and responded very quickly to our questions. The description on the VRBO website does not adequately describe the house and amenities. On our arrival, we were amazed at how wonderful the house and grounds were. The house was very clean upon arrival. The grounds were well kept, and the furniture on the large patio was sufficient for everyone to enjoy and arranged for family discussions. The large pool accommodated several people being in the pool at the same time. It was busy every day, all day. Plenty of towels for the pool were provided by the house. The big hit, other than the large pool, was the magnificent dining room table that can be converted to a pool table. What a great amenity. I first considered that the large dining area might be too large. But it turned out to be just right for our anniversary celebration and a grandchild's birthday celebration. Great for a large group. I could go on and on about how much we enjoyed our stay. Everyone was sad that we had to leave. I highly recommend the Retreat at Fredericksburg for any gathering, corporate events, retreats, etc.

Beautiful Property
This property is one of the prettiest I've seen. Our group was there for a department retreat and especially enjoyed the full length glass doors that can be completely opened. The sunken fire pit and the hydraulic bar window were also favorites. The beds were comfortable. Only mention I would give to future guests is that Room 12 is attached to the home, but you do need to go a few steps outside to get into the house for the restroom. That room is also warm in the summer until the sun passes from going directly into the room about noon then starts to cool down a bit, but in my opinion could use a separate air conditioner. The pool table was nice to have although it needed new pool stick tips, which they have ordered. Outdoor games were also enjoyed. I would definitely bring a group back here.

Beautiful property!
We had a church staff retreat here and it was perfect. A beautiful home with plenty of room to sleep everyone and eat together comfortably. Vanessa accommodated us by allowing us to check in early and check out late (for a fee). We hope to be back!
