It is cute if you do not look closely. The house needs to be thoroughly cleaned for dust and mold. There was dust dropping from vents. It needs updated electrical and plumbing. The bathroom lights flickered downstairs, the bathrooms had numerous moths or some type of flying winged insect in them, one downstair's bathroom had a wet floor by the toilet which may have been from a leaky toilet or pipes under the floor. The numerous flying insects were to me an indication that there was something wrong underneath the surface. The flying insects were seen day and night.

This guest house is appropriate for a couple; we found it to be very romantic and private. Mary, the homeowner, who lives on the property was so kind and hospitable. She even came over to meet us and offered more wonderful German pastries for breakfast the second morning. She also provided fruit, milk, dry cereals, coffee and tea. The guest house is beautiful and so quaint with wonderful primitive antiques, but yet very comfortable. There was also a refrigerator, microwave, coffee maker, and hair dryer. The front porch is wonderful for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine with great wicker rocking chairs. The house is only about four to five minutes from town, but you have a feeling of being in the country even though it is close to the main road. If you bring your pet, DO bring a leash, as it is not fenced in. Wonderful stay! Could not have asked for more. We will be staying here again when we return to Fredericksburg! * Our stay was in September, 2010. I'm a little late reviewing. *

The scenery of the property was like something from a Hallmark movie! Absolutely gorgeous. The beds were our favorite lol they were so comfortable! Not to mention the entire house is so tastefully decorated (without having to worry about the kids having accidents). There was even a small Xmas tree we turned on after the Macy's Day Parade! The house is perfect for families! Spacious enough to where you can all be together but also on your own without being disturbed. As the family chef, the kitchen was my favorite! It had all the odds and ends I needed to cater to my nieces. The house had all the creature comforts of home one could ever need or want. Could not recommend Melanie and her home more! 100/10 stars, would recommend and will stay again!

Hubs and I take weekend date road trips pretty frequently, but this time, his goal was to woo me…read moreand completely sweep me off my feet. There are lots of options around Texas for romantic spots so that doesn't sound too hard, right? Well, it wouldn't be if you weren't dealing with a hormonal, PMSing girl with mad food cravings because she's trying to be good and eat low carb to squeeze into the size-too-small bridesmaid dress that she ordered. Too much info? I digress. We hit the wine road towards Fredericksburg and after seven wineries, 42 tastings, and six bottles later, he brought me to the most adorable place I've ever stayed at: Carriage House. In case you're wondering, it was just as adorable the next day when I was more sober (my photos don't do the place justice). The outside of the main house was pretty, but no, we weren't staying in the main house- he did better than that. Off to the side of the main house was a little cottage standing by itself. "EEEEE, we're staying in there?!" my tipsy self gushed. The girly squeals only intensified after I saw the interior of the cottage. Hubs had outdone himself. A few tips for first timers: Dogs under 30lbs are allowed to stay for an extra $10/night. You have your very own private parking spot that is literally right next to the cottage. Once parked, you will find a little gate about a yard in front of your car; the gate leads right to the front of the cottage. In addition to the usuals that are provided at a hotel, the cottage is also supplied with dishes, silverware, and wine openers. Just check the drawers around the kitchen sink. Towels and extra toiletries are located under the bathroom sinks, and there is a step stool located underneath the (very high) bed. If you're short, use it. If you've been drinking wine all day, use it. When in doubt, use it. You're not actually served breakfast in bed here. Instead, you're given $10 vouchers (one for each guest) that can be used at several popular brunch spots in Fredericksburg. If Carriage House had a cheesy slogan, I would imagine it to be something along the lines of, "Carriage House: Drink Wine and Fall in Love." So friends, drink wine, fall in love, and check this place out. But don't try to book on my birthday weekend. Because it'll be mine.

It is walking distance from Main Street (literally right behind Elk Store). It is a cute little cottage. There is almost no storage. A very small armoire for short hanging clothes with a couple of shelves (one has the iron and a small ironing board on it). The vanity in the bathroom is very small. The water pressure is awful. If you want a warm shower, you have a little better pressure but a hot shower not much. On Thursday night when we got back to the room there was no wi-fi so no tv to watch. I called it in around 10am on Friday and they finally came by and tried to get it to work about 4:30pm. As soon as they left it went out again and for the rest of our stay it was very erratic. Apparently, the router is in Speakeasy Cottage #1, and the extender wasn't working very well. All in all, not a fun stay and very disappointing. They did refund us 10% of our total stay. Will not stay here again.
