This 1890s farmhouse is the perfect getaway for two in the Texas Hill Country! Enjoy the cosmos flowers from summer to late fall in the surrounding gardens. Relax at this peaceful home and enjoy the Hill Country, where you can unwind in the backyard and enjoy the beautiful Texas sky. Be sure to venture into downtown Fredericksburg, where you will find excellent restaurants, tasting rooms, antique shops, and historic sites. Sample the renowned local wine at one of the many vineyards and tasting rooms in and around town, or join a wine-tasting tour that will transport you safely from vineyard to vineyard.

Inspired by simpler times, the rooms welcome you with cottage-style furnishings, vintage textiles, and gleaming hardwood floors. Watch the horses at the Gillespie County Race Track.

Things to Know
We’re excited to inform you that this unit utilizes a comfortable style of bed-making known as Triple Sheeting. Triple Sheeting is proven to be more hygienic and is used by five-star hotels worldwide. It consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet, a blanket, and finally, a decorative top sheet. Due to this change, the pictures for this home may not accurately represent the bedding that will appear during your stay. This has not affected any other amenities or the amount of beds available.
The fireplace is not operational.

Lovely home

Great property, original late 1800 floors! Cosmos Cottage is cute and romantic while big enough for separate space as well. We will definitely be back.

Great Stay

My mom and I took my daughter to Fredericksburg for a girls trip and this location was wonderful. There was a large yard and the house was in a great location. Quick drive to the Main Street and the H‑E‑B. Lost Draw Cellars was easily walking distance.

A great find!

We loved our stay. The house was clean, well-appointed with all the amenities we could ask for, and perfect for our needs. As a bonus, it was ideally-suited; an easy walk from downtown, and the HEB grocery store was just a couple blocks away. We would definitely stay here again.

roomy and serene

We needed a place to escape from the heat of Houston and found this place. It was peaceful and quiet, but not far from anything. We appreciated having washer and dryer in-house. If we make it back, we would stay here again.

Cute Cottage

This small old farmhouse is conveniently located close to downtown. It is within walking distance to Walgreens and the HEB. The bed was comfortable, and the accommodations were clean. The pictures showed a Keurig coffee maker but it turned out to be a Mr Coffee drip machine.

Not so quiet

The stay was interesting if you want a back to basics cottage. Lots of antique and period items here along with Historic character of the cottage. The noise level iis not coducive to one who is a light sleeper. The adjacent Highway and intersection provide a constant stream of accelerating traffic which is noticibly loud until late night and beginning once again early am.

Lovely home (but not walking distance to Main Street), quiet off street

Large Single Bedroom Cottage... private and homey, full kitchen and en-suite bathroom/tub combo. A deer was lingering in the backyard on Monday morning, which was a delight to see.

A decent place to stay.

Everything was clean. Then I pulled the blankets back and found a hair on the sheet. It was a quiet neighborhood with close access to an HEB and Walmart. The abundance of windows let in a lot of sunlight but it also made it feel like everyone could see in. The price was great and it was better than a hotel. 😊

Cozy Cottage Close to Community

We stayed two nights at Cosmos Cottage over a rainy weekend, and had a wonderful stay. The cottage does have a bit of noise from a nearby major road, the patter of rain on the roof, and the creaking floorboards, all which added to the charm of the place. The location is very convenient to downtown Fredricksburg, and was within walking distance of the Sunset Grill (which will soon be moving to E. Live Oak Dr.). We played cards with friends at the table in the front room and relaxed on the porch a few times. I recommend this cottage for couple who want a little getaway to enjoy the wine country and won't mind the sounds of a small, tourist town.

Good, Bad , and Ugly

The house was a well restored farm house in a quiet area of town , conveniently located and very comfortable. The only glitch was the dishwasher. It had rancid standing water in the bottom and began to leak onto floor! Outside of that issue, the place was nice and comfortable.
