Shady House with River Access , Sheep & Donkeys!

All had a grand time. Loved the animals. So peaceful. Close to town. Great for pets. Would definitely recommend.

The property was very accessible, very convenient for Fredericksburg and surrounding areas. Great place.

This place was one of the best rentals I’ve ever stayed in! The house was super clean and had everything we needed and more, the host (mark) was incredibly welcoming and let us hold a baby lamb! The livestock around the ranch was so fun to pet and interact with and they are so sweet, you can tell they are well taken care of. I will definitely be recommending this place to friends and will be my new go to place when staying in Fredericksburg.

Absolutely, town very close nearby. This house is much nicer than even the pictures show. Will definitley stay here again. Bikes for the kids to ride were available, kayaks at the river, croquet set, lots of animals to pet and see.

One of the best places I have ever stay with my family. Host was awesome, and very friendly and communicate great. I would come back here again with the rest of my other families member.

Wonderful place. Great host. Our daughter loved the farm animals and the outside games

We had a wonderful time during our stay in the ranch house on the property. The enclosed long covered front porch faced the barn animal area, and we were treated to roaming sheep while having our morning coffee, and were able to let our 2 small pups hang out unleased ( yes they are pet friendly for a small additional fee). The 3 bedrooms all had comfy queen size beds (one had a twin size) an open common living/dining area and full size/ well equipped kitchen. They even provide coffee and snacks and some breakfast foods in freezer and small boxes of cereal too. We had our own private fire pit but could not use it due to the county burn ban. The property is laid out like an old western town with a long facade touting a country store/blacksmith shop and a silo that is also a guest house. They also have a large event center which we were told also hosts Friday night square dancing when not booked for an event. We could easily walk to the river frontage, which had a picnic table, Adirondak chairs, 2 small kayaks and an inflatable paddle board too. It was a little slice of country heaven but just 3 miles south of town and easily accessible to all the area wineries. The hosts were friendly, welcoming, and eager to assist if needed. It was the perfect location for our small family gathering for the holidays. We Hope to come back!

Great location to have a peaceful resting spot and close to downtown shopping.

The house was a cute farm style and great for our large family of mang ages. Minor flaws like broken blinds and air filter dirty. The goats and donkeys were a hit with the kids. We will Definitely be going back I just hope the game room is open for this stay. Also note staff was very responsive and nice.

We loved the porch! Lots of great visiting space. We cooked meals and had all the supplies we needed. Even baked homemade bread for our daughter to take back to college. Our only issue was some of us are a bit older and the soft mattresses caused some stiffness of a morning! The master bathroom is a great space. Love the historical touches!

Our stay at the Shady House was phenomenal. Every room was clean. The house was well equipped with all things needed in case we forgot at home. Thank you for all the snacks you provided. Those helped when we were waiting to have dinner.
