Best in Fred!

Hands down the best place we've ever stayed in Fredericksburg! Layout is group friendly, while bedrooms and 3 baths offer great privacy. Lots of outdoor space to hangout and we enjoyed the gas fire pit. Super great location to all the fun stuff on Main Street. House was stocked with everything you could need - including cool amenities like ice maker, extra fridge and a big mirror in the oversized main closet. Hope to stay here again!

Abendstern was amazing

Our 3 night stay with sister/brother-in-law and friends was fantastic. Location was very close to main street with all the fun activities. House had everything we needed for a great get a way. Inside was well arranged where everyone had their own bedroom and bathroom. Enjoyed the multiple games in the garage that was very comfortable.

Awesome property!

The house was awesome! There were 6 of us adults and we had more than enough room. All of the rooms were large and spacious. It was in mint condition when we arrived. The garage was fun with the ping pong tables, foosball and shuffleboard. Loved the gas firepit in the back yard. Great location just 2 blocks from the main street with all the shops and restaurants. Also just 2 blocks from the World War II Pacific war museum which is a must see. One of the nicest VRBO's we have ever stayed at. Highly recommend.

Another great stay!

This was our second time staying at the fabulous Abendstern house. Freezing temps outside, but the house was warm and inviting when we arrived. Plenty of space for 3 couples to have privacy and ample seating for meals, games, and relaxing. This is our absolute favorite place to stay in Fredericksburg. Exceptional communication from owner with some tips before we arrived. We texted a question Saturday night and had a quick response. It's obvious this is a well cared for property. We'll be back!

Fredericksburg Fun

Abendstern is an amazing property with tons of amenities! The beds are very comfortable, the kitchen is well-appointed, and the house has lots of extras. The area was quiet and relaxing. You can easily walk from the house to Main Street for shopping, wine tastings, and meals. We have stayed in many short-term rentals across country and this is one of the BEST! We would definitely recommend Abendstern and will return!

Girls weekend

House was very nice and as described online. It was unfortunate that one of the bathrooms had plumbing issues and left our group with 2 bathrooms. Management did come assess issue but could not fix it during our stay. Nice home otherwise.

Perfect Place to Stay

This place is the perfect spot for a weekend in Fredericksburg! The house looks just like the photos and is kept in perfect condition. The hosts do a wonderful job of having the little things you may forget or need, and easy access getting in. The game room and outdoor spaces give plenty of options for hanging out at the house. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious and comfortable! It’s an easy walk to Main street and after a long day of shopping or wineries, this house is one you want to come home to for the night. We left with all seven people knowing exactly where we want to stay next time we come back.

Perfect house & location

Beautiful home, comfortably furnished, and thoughtfully equipped. Much more spacious than we expected. We've stayed in a lot of B&B's in Fredericksburg, and this was the best by far.

Our son and his family stayed this time around. The home had more room than needed and the little guys enjoyed the games in the garage. The location was convenient as well.

Excellent Home 2 Blocks From Main Street!

Such a wonderful, very clean, well-appointed home for a long weekend in Fredericksburg! Two master bedrooms with their own bathrooms and 2 more bedrooms sharing a third bathroom. The kitchen and dining area were fully stocked with every pan and utensil one could need! The living room was large, cute and very comfortable. Lots of wine glasses!! It was easy to walk to Main Street instead of trying to find a place to park on Main. And the garage was converted into a wonderful playroom with foosball, ping pong, air hockey and more. The backyard fire pit was lovely and easy to use. Such an excellent , serene place! We will definitely stay there again!

enjoyed our time in this rental. It is nicely equipped and extremely clean. We were three couples and the 3 king beds were nice. Would be nice for families as well. Walkable to Main Street and all it has to offer. Multiple outside sitting areas were lovely. Overall, a very fun weekend!

Great place to stay! Spacious and close to everything! Only recommendations are to avoid trash pickup right near the entrance as it was extremely odorous, supply coffee, and replace bathroom mats.

Walkable Main Street Hideaway

Love, love, love Abenstern. This property is close to everything - its in a quiet, lovely neighborhood and most importantly walkable - within a few blocks you are on Main Street visiting the many shops, museums, galleries and eateries, while still "coming back home" to relax, play games and hang out in an open concept home easily accommodating large groups. The yard is amazing - during our stay we were able to adore blue bonnets and other Texas native plants about to bloom. I loved how the house was recessed back - and after a long day, you are greeted with a Hill Country courtyard and outdoor patio (which was too cold for us this time - but will definitely plan to enjoy in a future visit). The bedrooms were huge, beds comfy, it truly is a home away from home. Our family loved the game room - foosball, ping pong, and shuffleboard. Every day ended with playing the games as a family and such wonderful memories were created! The check in was easy and we were warmly greeted via text by the owner. Highly recommend a visit if you want to have that feeling of a true vacation home.
