Fantastic Stay!

We were in town for a wedding and stayed at the Dairy Barn for two nights. Our host, Patricia, replied quickly to all my questions, and the barn was perfect! We loved the decor, the snacks/breakfast muffins/cold beverages waiting for us upon check-in, comfy beds, and the great linens. There was also access to a side road where we went on a long walk one morning. We will definitely be back - thank you!

Double check listing

I wanted to go to Fredericksburg and enjoy the city and the restaurants. The main thing I was looking for in a place to stay was an indoor fireplace. My husband and I love sitting in front of the fireplace and playing games When we arrived, we saw there was no fireplace. I had previously contacted the owner to see if they provided the firewood for the fireplace. However, I failed to verify that the fireplace was indoors. When I contacted the owner, she acknowledged that there had been an issue with VRBO When they went to a new platform and that all of her listings showed an incorrect description. She thanked me for letting her know and she corrected her listings. She also sent information that I should contact Customer Service at VRBO. I thought the VRBO was going to offer me some kind of a compensation however they stated only the host could refund and that was not something she wanted to do. VRBO did reimburse me their payment that they receive. All in all I just wanna reiterate that people need to verify what’s listed that you’re looking for and and enjoy. Although the place was very nice it was missing the fireplace inside and we were disappointed.

Great house. Poor ownership.

The Ava Haus Dairy barn was a cute, quaint little house and perfect for our girl’s weekend. Great location, just a couple miles from town. The male owner was even there to help us find the place and get settled in. FYI, There is a “quiet time” from 11PM-8AM. And I think the owners live within feet of this place. The stay itself was great. Until we checked out and the FEMALE owner was very rude. We had not been able to review the “rules” online because the owners pulled the listings from VRBO for a new management company. Upon checkout, the lady called to let me know she was very disappointed in how we were “DISRESPECTFUL” to the house. This was based on a couple things we didn’t know we needed to take care of (and didn’t think we needed to considering we paid a cleaning fee)— taking out the trash to the dumpster (we had gathered it up by the door), emptying the Keurig, and using the cheap face cloths to remove makeup. She clearly is in the wrong business and I hope now with new management they may have better luck renting out the place. I recommend researching this location on other sites and reading into other reviews, which seem very much the same as mine. Great rental but very rude and poor management by the FEMALE owner.

Perfect intro to Fredericksburg!

This place was so great! I took the women in my family on a girls trip and when I tell you my grandma's jaw dropped when she walked in!!! She was so overwhelmed by how cute this place was! Every detail was just so sweet! The donuts left for us, the selection of board games, and the super cute decor! Not to mention how close we were to main street and everything we had planned to do! We couldn't have picked a better place to stay! Thank you to our hosts and we hope to stay again!

Over the top hospitality!

We loved our stay at the Dairy Barn! It was beautifully decorated and so clean! The beds were incredibly comfortable! The owners were just a text message away and they thought of everything! From the snacks, drinks and goodies, from the games, and movies, we didn’t want to leave! It was so close to town, but it also felt like we were out in the country! It was so peaceful! We will most definitely be back!

Perfect Getaway

The Ava Haus Dairy is the perfect getaway. My family of 4 stayed here for the second time & loved it even more this time! Comfortable beds, fun games, beautiful outdoor space & Patio, and the setting of Texas Hill Country make this a no Brainer. Patricia was awesome in pre-trip communication making the process extremely easy. She even provided kid friendly snacks knowing my kids were coming! Thank you to Team Ava Haus for an excellent experience!

Very nice stay in the Dairy barn

Great place for a relaxing family getaway with plenty of room to spread out and within a mere 5 minute drive to all conveniences. You can enjoy the large porches for breakfast and evenings but can be noisy during the day with the road close-by. Quite nights anyway. Breakfast for first morning was provided and a lot of snacks and refreshments were left by our hosts. The house was super clean, sheets were crisp and cool and towels soft and fluffy. Check-in and checkout couldn’t have been easier. We recommend the place.

Excellent Stay in Fredericksburg

This place was perfect for three friends celebrating a bachelorette weekend. The location was great - very close to Main St. and convenient proximity for a trip to Enchanted Rock. The B&B had everything we needed and was very spacious for us three; it can easily accommodate 4 ppl comfortably. Patricia and her husband were the most welcoming, friendly and helpful hosts leaving us with delicious snacks and great conversation. I will definitely be looking to stay here again on my next trip to town.

Everyday we feel thankful to live here. It is truly a charmed life. We are thankful to be sharing our place with you, family, and friends. Welcome to our HOME!!
