    cozy wooden floors
    delightful breakfast
    perfect location
    misleading balcony view
    limited outdoor space

    Our stay was wonderful! The room featured cozy wooden floors and a charming stone fireplace, creating a warm atmosphere. The breakfast was delightful, served in a cute picnic basket with delicious waffles, fresh fruit, and yogurt. Plus, the inn is situated in a perfect location for exploring Fredericksburg's restaurants and shops.

    The balcony view was not as expected.

    historic charm
    warm hospitality

    central gem for exploring fredericksburg's rich history

    We loved exploring the charming downtown area just a few steps away, where historic landmarks like the fredericksburg area museum and the hugh mercer apothecary shop were within walking distance, making our stay both convenient and enriching. plus, the warm hospitality we received—from late-night baked treats to a delightful multi-course breakfast—added a lovely touch to our experience.

    charming room
    tasty breakfast
    limited lounge area
    inconvenient parking
    lack of amenities

    The stone fireplace and rustic charm of the Deluxe Queen Room made our stay delightful. Breakfast delivered in a picnic basket, complete with tasty waffles and fresh fruit, was a lovely touch. The location is ideal for walking to nearby restaurants and attractions, though the lack of a proper lounge area felt limiting at times. Access to parking could also be improved to enhance convenience.

    complimentary bourbon
    delicious breakfast
    beautiful garden
    shared bathroom

    I loved the complimentary bourbon waiting in my room and the delicious breakfast was a real treat! The garden was a perfect spot to unwind with some comfy chairs and beautiful flowers. The only downside was having to share a bathroom, but it didn't ruin the overall charm. 😊
