Fantastic hosts! I had my first Cracker Jacks as a treat from their snacks collection. This couple doesn't miss a thing, including the deer corn provided for the many morning and evening visitors from the enormous field behind the house. Awesome!

Lovely & peaceful

This is a lovely, nicely furnished cottage that is perfect for two. If mornings with coffee, or evenings with a glass of wine spent on the back porch with deer and birds to keep you company appeals to you, you’ll love this cottage. And it’s only a 5 minute drive to the historic Main Street. We loved our stay!

Never Been to Perfect 10 before!

No surprise at all that this property gets all 10 reviews. From the minute we walked in the door we felt at home. Super clean, beautifully decorated, everything we needed for our weekend. The thoughtful hosts even left us a very kind and appropriate anniversary card. There were loads of informational pamphlets on a side table. About dusk the deer showed up like paid performers. We didn’t feed them so they wandered off to look for other hand outs. Same thing the next morning, they lost interest in us since we still didn’t feed them. They were beautiful. The back porch was so restful. Birds, deer and interesting plants The bed was super comfortable and sheets smelled wonderful. The whole weekend was as if we were in a different world even though we live only 70 miles away. We are already trying to think of excuses to get back to Fredericksburg and stay longer at the cottage. Thank you Lynn and Jerry.

Amazing place to stay!

The Samples are amazing host! They thought of everything you would need. The Samples are very detail people and their hospitality is superb. We enjoyed the quietness of the property, feeding the deer and the comforts of home, and so close to Main Street! My husband and I will be visiting the Samples again.

Peaceful Retreat

We came to Fredericksburg for the first time in order to attend a wedding, as well as 2 additional days of wedding weekend gatherings. We never did cook a meal, but pleasantly surprised at all the treats and coffee provided. We travel often and by car with our dogs, but left them with family for this trip. We usually bring EVERYTHING we could possibly need in rental homes since not all provide for the guests the same. They provide hair and body wash dispensers, as well as first aid, various kitchen condiments and back up for items you may have forgotten.Now to the best part. Coming back between events, meals out and shopping, it was so nice to just relax in the back area of the home. We fed and watched deer, saw a fox and millions of singing birds serenaded us.Thank you Lynn and Jerry for such a clean and peaceful retreat for our trip to Texas!

The Perfect Cottage

The Cottage at Spotted Fawn is a perfect delight. Beautiful, safe neighborhood and excellent off-street parking. The house is immaculate, well stocked, and thoughtfully decorated. The responsive hosts have amassed a wealth of material about local history, restaurants, and things to do. The nights are quiet, the bed is comfortable, and there’s no street noise. The outdoor spaces are lovely. Less than 2 miles to the historic downtown. I enjoyed my stay, and would be happy to return and to recommend this place to others. I felt perfectly safe as a solo female traveler.

Fredericksburg treasure!

We loved Fredericksburg and found Lynn and Jerry's cottage to be the perfect place to call home while exploring its rich history, great restaurants, quaint shops and breweries! The cottage is perfectly located in that it is close to Town yet very private. It is also very nicely furnished, comfortable and had everything that we needed and then some! Needless to say we really appreciated how super clean the house was. We highly recommend this home; thank you so much for sharing it with us!!

Fredericksburg cottage

This cottage was the perfect accommodation for a Fredericksburg stay. It was very close to Main St yet still felt as though you had plenty of quiet countryside space with wildlife. It had special touches that fit the town's heritage and was clean, spacious, and detail oriented with every convenience you would need for a stay. I would highly recommend and would reserve it again if staying in this area.

Wonderful stay. This cottage goes beyond anything you might expect. The hosts have gone all out in the upkeep of this property. It is beautifully decorated and there isn’t anything I could think of that is not provided to make your stay more enjoyable. Located close to Main Street and yet you can watch deer from the back porch. It’s the best of both worlds. We wouldn’t think of staying anywhere else when going to Fredericksburg.
