The Stables at The Homestead

Summary:
The Homestead, originally built in the 1880's and just one block off Main St., is a stunning luxury estate which has undergone a recent total renovation. Located in the Historic District, the Homestead consists of two homes (The Main House and The Carriage House) two cottage suites (The Stables 1 & 2) and is ideal for couples, large groups, family reunions, or a friend's retreat.

The Space:
The two cottage Suites (The Stables 1 & 2) are situated privately in the rear of the property and were designed for that perfect romantic getaway. Each have tastefully unique equine inspired décor, seating area for two, a lush kin size bed with chandelier above, a luxurious marble and granite bath and a kitchenette with under counter fridge/freezer, sink, coffee maker, and microwave. A private fenced front porch with seating for two provides cozy seclusion and privacy. The Stables each have designated off-street parking spaces just steps from the door.

This prime location simply cannot be beat. Being within one block off Main St. means shops, wineries, and restaurants are all only a few minutes' walk out the front door!

Guest Access:
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $53 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.

To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.

The Neighborhood:
Just a block off Main Street in historic downtown Fredericksburg. The Marktplatz and Main Street's shops, restaurants and wine tasting rooms are about a 5 to 10-minute walk, and the National Museum of the Pacific War is about a 15-minute walk. Wildseed Farms is about a 15-minute drive, and Enchanted Rock State Natural Area is about 25 minutes north.
