Alte Friedrichsburg | Historic Gem

Lights didn't work. Coffee machine didn't work. A coffee machine cost 15 dollars, it's one of the core things to have at a VRBO.

This house was disgusting. It smelled of mold, had mold on the walls and a/c vents. In the short amount of time we spent in the house, we had trouble breathing from the mold. We walked in, inspected the house and left. It wasn't worth risking our health. Cluttered and dusty. The pictures are very misleading.

In a word...Ghastly. This is not a home to be rented. It is a circa 1970's Curio, Antique and Junk Shop,owned by a hoarder, with 3 to 4 times too much furniture it in. Lots of dust and dirt. There is not one comfortable place to sit. Backyard is a disaster, very poor maintenance. We like antiques, but this is ridiculous. I can't say No too strongly.

Property was not clean and I did not feel comfortable keeping my wife and daughter there so I purchased a separate place at my expense. Property manager requested photos but I had left. I did not receive refund but was worth the comfort for my family

The pictures in the add are somewhat misleading. The house has way more furniture and 'stuff' setting around. There is so much antique collections clutter there is no place to set your own luggage and personal items. Even the kitchen had full cabinets and counters. Also, being two women traveling alone, not being able to completely cover some of the windows was discouraging. We also had someone come and clean the back patio while we were out shopping. A little unsettling. They also removed a box we had set outside for recycling our glass water bottles. We still enjoyed our stay in Fredricksburg but we won't choose this house again. Thank you.

The house was cluttered with a lot of old relics… very musty when we first arrived. Kept the AC very cold to help me not have asthma attacks. There was a lot of old things to look at and read. Was difficult to get comfortable on the old furniture. The larger bed had a dip in the middle of the bed that my husband and I rolled into. We were Out on the town a lot and made It all work out. The clutter disturbed our ability to really relax though. It was everywhere!! They did say that it was an old house, but I’ve stayed in many that don’t smell musty and are decorated with the dated style, but without all the clutter. Wasn’t really for us.

This was an old house, full of old furniture, and smelled like it. Beautiful furnishings, but way too much of it. Every armoire, chest and closet was full of old shoes, hats and clothes, so there was no place to put our stuff. The furniture was very uncomfortable, except for the beds which were fine. If you love antiques, and are charmed by old houses, this is the house for you.

This house has an odd layout, with one bedroom being basically in the middle of the house. The description says the second bedroom didn’t have a door, but in reality you have to walk through the bedroom to get anywhere in the house. Every surface is covered with old stuff, every closet is full, every drawer as well, so guests don’t have room to unpack. It’s can, but coated with weird, kinda spiky old stuff. We don’t use the kitchen except for the coffee maker. They want really a communal space that was comfortable. I would not recommend for families, and I worked definitely not stay again.

House is well decorated and clean. Location was perfect.

This place is a museum. Every inch is covered in antiques. We parked in the nice driveway. After that it got creepy. The back patio was cluttered in finds. At The back door entry we were greeted by a faceless doll sitting in a chair facing the entry. The other creepy dolls and antique furniture had me creeped out. The floors need a lot of bracing, as I walked all the nicknacks would clink and chime with the flexing floor. I couldn’t stay here. Was too haunted feeling for us. Some may love this place.

If you’re in to Victorian style this is a good place to experience it . I enjoyed every room and the two nights there. I did not even leave the whole time I was there it was so much to explore.

First impression outside and pictures were great Walk up to the back porch and it's completely dirty. If you wanted to sit down, you would need to clean everything first open the door and the carpet had not been vacuumed. They were beautiful antiques everywhere went into the bathroom and there was soap scum on the beautiful white tub, I ran my finger over to make sure that it was so it was had to call housekeeping to come clean and the dust. The house is unbelievable when I let housekeeping know about it and they came and did nothing about the dust grab a glass out of the cabinet to have some water to drink , and the glass has been cleaned with furniture polish

I could write a novel - but the number one thing people need to know is this house literally has mold growing down the interior walls in the bedrooms. We did report it to the management company and hopefully the roof leak that has caused this will be tended to immediately before anyone else stays there. We really felt like our money should have been returned because of the health issues we were experiencing while there.
