Cute and charming sums it up.

My wife loved all of the antiques and furnishings. The cottage provides surprising amount of space with two separate indoor living areas with plenty of seating for all. (Big plus). In addition there is lots of seating/living space outside! Close to town but not a lot of traffic. Systems heat/cool, showers all worked great. Check-in/out was seamless. Was there for 6 days. Great stay - would not hesitate to stay there again.

Terrific

A very adorable place to stay especially at Christmas. It was decorated to the hilt which was set off by the antiques, fireplace, and greenhouse. The exterior was very guest friendly.

Lovely quaint home on a quiet street

We enjoyed our stay at this lovely home! We loved the decor and there was plenty of space. We were able to easily find the house and we were able to get into town with only a few minutes drive.

The house was adorable, well kept, and charming. With ample outdoor space, multiple sitting areas and great porches. The bonus was the carport and long private drive for parking. Loved the great central heat and hot water. The greenhouse out the master bath window was such a beautiful amenity. Loved our stay.

Absolute Charm!

We loved Butterfly Cottage! It was a step back in time, yet with all the modern conveniences. Close to Main Street and shopping, yet secluded and homey. We will definitely book another stay!

Cute cottage close to everything

Loved the decor and charm of this conveniently located cottage. Plenty of room to cook or just hang out. Backyard gazebo was a great place for wine and cheese.

Vintage Charm

Loved the vintage charm of this home. Just off the Main Street. Walkable for some but a quick drive for those who don’t want to walk. Comfortable beds. Loved the clawfoot tub. Loved the 2 living areas. Gazebo is great for morning coffee❤️

Charming place close to everything

I'm an architect so I was especially drawn to the beautiful period detailing and woodwork in the house. The backyard and gazebo were charming — wish we were able to stay long enough to have breakfast or cocktails out there … next time! Great location too, far enough away from the busy downtown strip but still convenient to everything in Fredericksburg and areas around. We'd stay again!

Nice quiet stay in a great location

The house was offset from the Main Street, giving us a quiet stay, but in walking distance to the downtown restaurants. We walked into town every day, it was fantastic. Would stay there again.

Great Place

My cousin and I thoroughly enjoyed our girls’ weekend. Beds were comfy with nice sheets. We had an issue with the TV and the property manager came out in the cold and dark and fixed it for us. She even built us a fire while she was there. Would stay there again. Thanks!

Cousins Trip

This property is so well kept, clean, comfortable and met our needs perfectly. It is located off Main Street and several blocks away from downtown. So you’ll need to drive and park when shopping. The neighborhood is quaint and quiet. Outside is very picturesque and has several different sitting areas. We enjoyed our stay immensely and would definitely stay there again.

Super Charming Home

A really beautiful home overflowing with charm. Had just about everything you need to make it a comfy stay. The beds/couches were extremely comfy, soft, and clean, and the bathrooms were also very clean and well stocked. We had a small pet and he enjoyed the yard and quietness of the house. The location is walkable to Main street, but the touristy area is a very long walk so it was much easier to drive there. The neighbors were slightly noisy, but not enough to be an issue and you can't hear them inside the house at all. Also, the back neighbor (not the noisy one) flies a good-sized confederate flag. It's mostly obscured by trees and a good distance away. Check In and Check Out were hassle free, which is always appreciated.
