About this property

Metzger Sunday House | 1 Block South of Main St.

Farmers by occupation, the Metzger family built this little home in town in 1898 to use on the weekends for shopping and attending church and it has been kept in the family ever since. Located just one block south of Main Street in the Historic District, guests will delight in seeing the Metzger Sunday House along with two other original Sunday Houses all lined up in a row.

Typical of the old Sunday Houses, a small covered porch with swing and comfy chair greets you upon arrival. The main room serves double duty as a bedroom and sitting area. A queen-size bed is the focal point of the room. This magnificent bed has been handed down in the family and is topped with a colorful comforter and fluffy pillows. The antique velvet sofa and chair is comfortably arranged around the television.

The kitchen is fully equipped for your use and delightfully appointed with rich, bright colors. A table for four is in the center of this spacious kitchen. The bath has a tub and shower.

Located only a block from Main Street, this special home is easy walking to shopping and churches. In addition, photographers for major publications, such as Texas Highways, frequently use this picturesque home for magazine and newspaper articles and there is even a postcard that can be found locally of it. Furthermore, this home participated in the 150th Fredericksburg Anniversary Tour.

*Please be aware that the house has a Smart TV but you will need to bring your own login information from home.*

Staying at Metzger Sunday House
The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. Climate control good. The supplies were lacking. No dish soap, not enough coffee to make a small pot full, no wash cloths.

Everything was close!
This little home was exactly as advertised. Best of all, the entire downtown was within walking distance, so we parked our car at the house when we arrived and didn't move it until we left for home.The owners were efficient and business like.

Nice location
The house was one block from the Main Street. Wonderful location. Quiet and cute neighborhood. The house could have been cleaner and the bed was very sloped with the bottom of the bed higher than our heads. We switched and slept with our heads at the foot of the bed.

Metzger Sunday House stay
We really loved our stay at the Metzger Sunday house. The house was well kept, clean and handy to everything in town. Fredericksburg is such a nice place to visit. We were impressed with the process and plan to use this place again.

Cute,historical
House was cute, historical, close to Main Street. Kitchen was very sparsely furnished, very dirty sponge left for us on the sink, house is in desperate need of a good cleaning. Windows, base boards very “old” dusty, couch creases are layered in dust, grim rests, not what you would expect for a $200 a night😳rental😳not what

Sorry to say, “Not clean.” “Blinds in living room up and broken.” Didn't seem to be a resident handle by your company.”

Our stay at Metzger house
Metzger house was clean and felt like we were a guest in someone's home. Greeted by a lovely Christmas tree in the kitchen felt great! Also greatly appreciated the antique furniture that created a wonderful ambience for our visit. We would stay there again!
