FAQ

All our cabins and cottages are designed for couples and are single bedroom units.

Perhaps a babysitter is in order, as we are an adults-only facility and do not accept anyone under the age of twelve. Besides, you wanted a getaway, right? 😉

No, sorry...our maximum occupancy per unit is two guests.

There are lots of venues available for hosting weddings throughout Fredericksburg, unfortunately we are not one of them. May we suggest you contact the Fredericksburg Visitors Center for a list of local venues at 830-997-6523.

We love pets, but due to guest allergy concerns and the unique nature of our cabins, we do not accept any pets on the property, with the exception of “registered service animals”. Unfortunately emotional support pets are not service animals and we do not accept them. However, we may charge a $500 cleaning fee and evict you without refund if we discover you have brought a pet with you.

While we are unable to alter the time of our hot picnic basket breakfast delivery, with advance notice we can supply you with a continental breakfast delivered to your room the evening before.

Actually, all billing is done ten days prior to your arrival. So if you need to adjust what credit card the billing is to be completed on, we do need to know at least ten days ahead of your scheduled date of arrival. Otherwise, a $35 fee is required to change charges on a stay that was previously billed.

We are located two and a half miles from Main Street, so unless you are preparing for a marathon, we suggest a vehicle. But hey, a little exercise can’t hurt right....?

We provide firewood seasonally (November – February) to each guest lodging unit. It is enough firewood for a couple hours of burn time. Additional wood for extended duration can be purchased for an additional fee. March – October we provide firewood for the outdoor firepits only. Lighting a fire indoors while the HVAC system is operating will cause a back draft of smoke into the lodging unit, so unless you have a few hams with you that you would like to smoke…this is a no-no.

No, sorry we need our beauty sleep too! However, we will supply you with a phone number where you can contact guest services at any time for emergencies.

Check-in is available between 3:00PM and 9:00PM. If you intend to be later than 9:00PM, we ask that you call us that afternoon to make arrangements to have your key available. Check-out is by 11:00AM.

We always try to accommodate our guests' needs but we are unable to guarantee early check-in or late check-out as we need the opportunity to clean the rooms in between guest stays. Feel free to check with us that day and we can update you if this service is available at the moment.
