Description of listing stating sleeps 4 people

If I could give absolute charm, zero stars, I would. RENTERS BEWARE!!!!! The listing clearly states that this property sleeps four and we did not exceed four people. Extra fees are hidden behind "double occupancy" rates. For a two bedroom home that the listing states accommodates four people, the rate is actually for only TWO PEOPLE.... THEY WILL CHARGE YOU ADDITIONAL FEES IF YOU HAVE 4 PEOPLE (even if that is what the property accommodates). We were charged $35 pp/ night. We rented through VRBO, and the policy says " extra person charges may apply and vary depending on property policy ". No set fees were published to their listing. The management was arrogant and unapologetic. This is clearly a money scam. Also, if you are going with the hopes of using a hot tub, good luck! After three minutes in the hot tub, we had to get out because our skin was itching and burning. When I took the trash out, I saw an empty bottle of muriatic acid. Obviously, the hot tub was over treated with chemicals and not safe to use. We were not advised of the chemically treated water prior to entering the hot tub. We have rented numerous vacation properties. We have never heard of this being "industry standard". Totally unacceptable. There are many, many properties to rent in Fredericksburg Texas avoid Absolute Charm!!

We booked "Across the Way" Cottage as a last minute trip to Fredericksburg. It's a very cute cottage with a homey vibe. At night, the front porch was lit was Christmas lights; which I thought was a nice touch. There is a screened in porch with a hot tub and a faux fireplace. This was perfect for after a day out shopping on the Main Street. The hot tub water was a bit cloudy. Also, the second time we used it the temp would not go up past 92 degrees and it was like 50 degrees outside. So needless to say we didn't get as much use out of it as we hoped. Only reason why I gave this a 3 stars. The inside of the cottage is very quaint. There is a king bed with a loveseat recliner that sit in front of a tv. The bed was very comfortable and the sheets and comforter were soft and fluffy! This is very important to me when booking an Airbnb! There is a small kitchenette (no stovetop) with microwave, sink, and all the essentials. Here is a picture of me doing yoga in front of the cottage. Sorry, this is the only picture I took. ‍ We checked out a little late because we lost track of time but Tammy was very understanding and sweet about the entire thing.

Edit since the owner responded: I added a photo of me requesting check in instructions while also mentioning they would not be there early it was just for peace of mind bc they stressed there was no service. The instructions were sent actually 5 minutes after check in not 2 hours early like the owner is claiming. Screenshots provided. She had also said the hot tub maintenance is handled when no one is there but my parents had left the empty bag of shock on the ground and it was still there on Thursday when they had gotten back (no one came to maintain it, it smelled) She had also said a full refund was always the plan after meeting w the owner,which was not expressed, we were told to go to the office the next morning to meet w the owner and then when they got there at the time they were told to show up, they were told that the owner wouldn't be there until the next week and all that was offered initially to rectify the situation was a different room if their stay was longer. I was not there it was an anniversary gift but there's no reason for them to falsely claim that the towels and hot tub stank, they didn't even pay for it, the stay was a gift. She also said the flea infestation was "small" but both of my parents were completely bit up and they were all over the whole room. (Shouldn't have been any flea infestation at all but I love how she tried to minimize the infestation in the response lol it's a no pet allowed property anyways) She also claimed my father got out of hand first, but that is not in my parents nature and according to all of these other reviews w negative experiences and unprofessional responses I find it EXTREMELY hard to believe that they were always going to give a full refund anyways. Especially since I called their 24/7 helpline MYSELF and she had actually told me the EXACT same thing my parents were initially told, that if they have another night they could PROBABLY put them in a different location after meeting with the owner (who again wasn't even there to talk with them when they arrived after following their instructions)No mention of refund. Tammy does not care about guest experience, on this page there are tons of similar experiences met w no rectification from her end and unprofessional, rude responses to negative reviews riddled with lies. I wish I checked here first before booking.

What a lovely time we had at The Lodge We were there for a…read morewedding and it was u h a beautiful experience. We were in suite 10 and the room was spic and span clean. The room was appointed in beautiful old world charm. It had a huge king size bed that sits high off the floor, an old hard wood cloths wardrobe and night stands on each side of the bed. It was also furnished with a couch that pulls out into a bed and also a coffee table. The bathroom was great , it has a huge jacuzzi soaking tub that easily accommodates 2 . I had to use the step stool provided for the bed to get into the tub. I am only 5'1 and the tub is so deep that it's hard to get into. Yes here is not much counter space in the bathroom to put toiletries but we made do. There is also a fridge , microwave and coffee maker in the room. The grounds are well kept and the pool area is so relaxing. In the outdoor lounge area there are comfy couches and a fire place. Breakfast baskets are provided every morning and were a great touch. It was an amazing weekend and we will definitely be back.

For years, I've visited Fredericksburg and every time we passed this lodge, we fantasized about…read morewhat it would be like to stay there. It looked so inviting and cozy from the outside. Thankfully, we found out that it's not quite as expensive as it looks, and we could afford to stay there, so we did! The room was wonderful and very comfortable. I love the stone wall! Only qualm I had was in regard to the shower/tub. The jacuzzi tub itself was amazing, but they put a "rainshower" head above it for showers. First of all, it was a regular showerhead pointed straight down, not a rainshower like those positioned that way should be. A sign asks you to utilize the shower curtain properly so there is no water damage... which is impossible even when using the curtain. It's just a very odd setup. There will be water damage just of how the whole thing was designed. Worst about it all, was how high the tub itself is- if you are in any way disabled (be it permanently or temporarily injured) or elderly, you are going to despise this tub/shower. I'm a 34-year old fit and active person, and I struggled getting in and out of this thing. It's awkward to start with but then add water and oh sh!t, you're going down for sure! We used the stairs for the bed and put them in the bathroom for this reason but it didn't help much. Other than that, everything else was spectacular. The staff was friendly and helpful. We took advantage of the fireplace which was SO cozy! Perfect for the chilly nights we had. They supply firewood and firestarters so it's very easy to make your own. During one of the days, it was warm enough to enjoy the pool too. Breakfast gets delivered in an adorable picnic basket and it's loaded! We expected the norm of simple breakfast options like mini boxes of cereal and muffins. Nope! Hard-boiled eggs, fruit galore, prosciutto, cheese, danishes/pastries, oatmeal, and yogurt. It was different every day and delicious every day. Treat yourself and stay here! You'll be glad you did. If you fear the wacky tub/shower, don't choose room 10. That's where we were but all the rooms are unique and others may have a better layout in the bathroom.

Wow! Staying at the Wine Cabin at The Rustic Grape! What a whimsical place complete with hot tub,…read morecoffee, and even a gratuitous bottle of wine! The bed is comfy, and the small wine fridge is convenient! Only people who spend little time at a cabin should stay here since there's no comfortable seating inside. Who needs it! There's wine tour guides who will pick you up at the door, and plenty of Fredericksburg fun to keep you occupied! On the chance you do stay in, the hot tub is splendid, as is the porch equipped with rocking chairs. I simply loved it here! Deer visited on Friday to make my heart happy!!! While here, please give Das Peach Haus a try! It's my absolute favorite wine tasting experience. It leaves the others in the dust!! Happy frolicking!

Rented this cabin for the weekend to celebrate our wedding anniversary and it was wonderful. It's…read morean old log and stone cabin that was added onto, but don't let the age scare you. It's got all the modern amenities you'd want. Beautiful modern bathroom with walk-in shower (though the water pressure left a little to be desired). Comfortable sitting room. Cute kitchenette. King sized bed with perhaps the comfiest mattress and sheets I've ever slept in. There's a salt water hot tub outside as well. There's another rental property right next door in the old converted barn, but we still felt like we had a lot of privacy. And you're close to 290 so you get some highway noise (not from the inside of the cabin), but then again that also means you're just minutes from downtown Fredericksburg. There's satellite TV and Wi-Fi available for those who can't completely unplug. The rental owner left lots of nice touches like a complimentary bottle of wine and chocolates and snacks and a Keurig coffee maker. Just an FYI there's no range or hotplate in the kitchen, but there is a microwave and waffle maker along with plates and bowls and such. Price was spot on to what I'd expect from this level of accommodation and working with the owner was very easy. Would definitely return. Very happy to make this my 500th review!
