Located just 3 blocks north of Main Street and Marktplatz (Market Square), Emmie's House is a perfect location for exploring Fredericksburg. The house was originally built circa 1933 by Red and Emmie Schroeder, lifelong residents of Fredericksburg. Emmie was the first woman graduate of the University of Texas School of Pharmacy and Red was a Mayor of Fredericksburg from 1952 to 1958.

Emmie's House has furnishings original to the home in addition to furniture from the family of the current owner. It sits on a large corner lot, known for it's massive Italian Stone Pine tree. The back yard is private and offers both an arbor with Adirondack chairs for lounging and patio with table and chairs to use while grilling on the gas grill.

The home is unusual for Fredericksburg, from it's unique rock exterior to the soaring ceiling in the formal living room. The iron curtain rods and light fixtures are original to the house. Note the hand painted photograph of young Emmie to the right of the fireplace. Emmie's House was renovated in 2020, but retains much of its character from 1933.

Enjoy breakfast in the sunny breakfast room on the vintage table that is original to the house. Dinner can be served in the large dining room on an expansive table that will seat 10 people. The original kitchen is well stocked with most anything you could need for a meal in-house.

The back bedroom has a queen size bed and comfy club chair. The center bedroom has 2 twin beds plus a day bed. The bedding and mattresses are all new in 2020. The front turquoise-pink-black bathroom is also original to the house reflecting Emmie's love of color.

The den was designed to be casual and comfortable. A large 65” smart TV is on one wall. Games are in the credenza below the TV and can be enjoyed on the game table in the den.

If you are seeking the convenience of an in-town, walkable location combined with history and the outdoors, Emmie's House would love to welcome you.

    This home is so much fun. Unique with lots of personality and room! The beds were very comfortable, not one was less than awesome.

    Four of us stayed and enjoyed our time at Emmie's and in Fredericksburg. Close enough that we could walk to Main street, but never did! The home had everything we needed. Even a makeup mirror. In case you bring your own coffee, they have a k-cup coffee maker. My only 'fault' was the sheets and towels were washed with perfume. After taking a shower, we smelled like that perfume! My entrance code didn't work, but a short call (immediately answered) to the number supplied in emails, they gave me a code that worked. Excellent customer service. I would stay at a Gastehaus Schmidt again.

    We had a reservation for 4 ladies for a two night stay. Although the house itself is lovely and very comfortable, there were only two bath towels, no kitchen towels or paper towels, and our second morning we had to take cold showers because there wasn't any hot water. Gästehaus Schmidt responded and promptly brought more towels and paper towels, but the cold showers were an inconvenience. Great location and very comfortable, but housekeeping needs to be a little more aware of restocking for incoming guests.

    This was our group of 5 second annual trip to Fredericksburg. This quaint house was a perfect fit. We spent any home time in front of the fireplace. The house had all we needed and it was easy to get to town.

    The place was lovely and very comfortable. There were a few details that perhaps were not related by former guests. In the shower only bathroom the shower was not working. We had the second bathroom that we were able to use that shower. We purchased a bathmat as the tub was very slippery. Sending an email to my home with instructions on how to exit the bed and breakfast with a new code was not seen until two days after we were home. We do not take a computer on vacation. We left a note stating other small items that need attention. Nothing major just a few things like dead batteries in the flashlights. The neighborhood was lovely and certainly quiet. Also, we are not tech savvy, and the Samsung television was extremely hard to figure out. Instructions would have been appreciated. We hope to return to Emmie's Guesthouse and will recommend it to others coming to Fredericksburg.

    We loved our stay at Emmie's Guesthouse. The cottage is well equipped with everything we needed to cook, sleep comfortably and enjoy some time away with our kids. Lovely, clean and comfy!

    We are annual visitors to Fredericksburg for about 15 years now, and we always book a house for our stay. This house was a pleasant stay. The bathrooms, the living areas, the outdoor areas were all very nice and comfortable. The house was clean, well provided for and exactly as described. I would only make one suggestion, the beds (fully described in their listing) could probably be a bit better quality and only having 1 Queen and 3 small twins was a bit different that our normal experience. Not bad per se, just different. It's a very small suggestion on an otherwise lovely property.
