Mother. Daughter Getaway

it was the perfect place for our Mother, Daughter getaway. The house was as pictured. We were supplied with, orange juice, milk, homemade banana bread, yogurt and coffee. It was a perfect size for the three of us. It is a little out of town but very easy to get to main street. Very quiet even with two other houses near by.

Perfect cabin for our getaway

The property manager, Darla, reached out right away after I made the reservation to give me all of the important information for our stay. We slept great on the bed and the bathroom was amazing. The little kitchen armoire was well stocked and the homemade banana bread was wonderful. Highly recommended!

Beautiful cottage

We had the pleasure of staying here over the weekend and it was great! Clean, comfy space, and peaceful location. There are 3 cottages next to one another- ours was located in the middle. The other two cottages were vacant during our stay so we zero issues! Great for family/friends to have a place in close proximity to one another!

About the host

Hosted by Darla + Mike Smith

Host profile image
We are Mike and Darla Smith, and we live nearby in the property's 50's farm house. Both of our families live in and around Fredericksburg, and we feel incredibly blessed to call this place home! We have four children -- three grown kids and a fun little four year old who has been a champ as we've built these guest houses!

Why they chose this property

Mike bought the property in 1999 from the Pfiester family, who were one of the original German families to settle Fredericksburg. As families arrived to the area in the mid-1800s, the German Emigration Company gave them a "townlot" and an "outlot" (just outside of town) which they could farm. As you've probably guessed, our property was Outlot 201. Mike was lured by the property's tranquil setting and convenient access to town. He also loved that the property was still surrounded by other member's the Pfiester family.

In January 2010, we were married; and that December, we welcomed our young son, Parker (Darla's maiden name). Though Darla had a charming 1920's cottage in town, there was no question that this was going to be our home -- we both loved it so much.

When we decided to add the guest houses, we knew we wanted to celebrate all of the families who've enjoyed living on Outlot 201 through the years. So, each house has been named accordingly -- Pfiester, Smith and Parker!

What makes this property unique

Every day, we feel thankful to live in Fredericksburg. It truly is a charmed life, and we know we are blessed to call this place home. Over the years, we've enjoyed sharing our home with family and friends, largely because the property offers such a pretty pastoral setting. We love how we feel a world away from it all -- yet we can hit the bank, the post office AND pick up a gallon of milk, then be back home in 20 minutes! :-) We felt visitors to the guest houses would really appreciate having the best of both worlds as well -- a quiet, country setting just minutes away from all Fredericksburg has to offer.
