Great birthday celebration

We celebrated my sisters birthday. There was plenty of space, house was clean and it was close to main street. Heidi had reached out to me when there was a fire somewhat close to let me know it was moving in the other direction and we were safe. I would book here again.

Perfect in every way

The cottage was absolutely perfect for our needs of a cousin/aunts weekend for girls. We loved that there were so many beds for sleeping arrangements. The quiet neighborhood was close to Main St and yet just far enough away to see deer at night and to enjoy a nice fire in the backyard. What at great host too!

Awesome mother/daughter trip

We have been coming to Fredericksburg for a mother-daughter trip for several years. We all agreed your house was our favorite. We each had our own room, and there was plenty of space to spread out. We really enjoyed the back porch. We sat out there and had snacks in evening and had breakfast there in the morning. The neighborhood was so cute and very quiet. We will definitely stay there again.

Exceeded expectations

Friends and family met for the solar eclipse. All five of us were delighted with the charm of this cozy comfortable house. The kitchen was well stocked and the beds were very comfortable. We were disappointed that she is firm about not allowing dogs but when we saw the house we definitely understood. If that were my rental house, I wouldn’t allow pets either. Also, I had occasion to communicate with the owner, Heidi, before our stay. Her responses were consistently prompt, warm, clear and helpful. We would choose this property and this host again without hesitation.

Wonderful Visit in Fredericksburg

We so enjoyed our stay in Fredericksburg and at Elsa’s Gatehaus! The property is beautiful and was very comfortable. We especially loved the front and back porches - spending time with our family drinking coffee, talking and laughing!
