Entire Home at Melissa's Farmstead

Everything was excellent except the beautiful range. The convection side never worked right. The deer were plentiful to see at dawn!

4 couple and we had a great time. The place is spectacular!

Myself and all three of my siblings (along with spouses) enjoyed the weekend in Fredricksburg and loved this house. Nice and quiet and just far enough from town. Deer and other wildlife were frequent visitors.

Our family of 14 celebrated Christmas, here, and it was absolutely perfect. Once we got in the front door, the welcome was pretty astounding...we were greeted by a Christmas tree, wine, a loaf of yummy bread, milk and orange juice in the refrigerator, along with a charcuterie plate of meats and cheeses. The property itself is beautiful - coffee on the porch in the mornings was a must. Look closely and you'll see deer close by (especially if you sprinkle deer corn about). The little nook on the 3rd floor was perfect for the kids, in which to play, read or sleep. We prepared all of our meals at the house - the table even seated all of us. And there was ample space for everyone to have their privacy. We could not have asked for a better location to celebrate family and Christmas together. Thank you, Whatleys!

This was our third year to stay at Melissa’s Farmstead. All 3 years have been amazing. Great host and an amazing house.

Beautiful house and property. So happy to see it decorated for Christmas.

Amazing rental! Everything you could think of was provided. The beds were the most comfortable! You are located close enough to town, so it’s easy to make a day trip. The location is great and the views are beautiful.

What a wonderful getaway our family had! I was impressed by the accuracy of the description and photos of the house on the VRBO link, but I never imagined the special touches I would find EVERYWHERE! I could not stop saying out loud, “this is the most well thought out house we’ve ever stayed at!”. It was perfect for our group of twelve—parents, four adult children and spouses, and grand babies. Lots of room to spread out, and every need you could possibly have was satisfied, from the welcoming wine (the red was divine!) and cheese tray, to the breakfast items of milk, juice, pastries, and various cereals, to the abundance of specialty soaps and hair care items. The hosts are true hosts—clear instructions on use of house, and no fussy departure requirements—they just want their guests to relax and enjoy, which we did. They even gave us permission to have a photographer come out to take our pictures while we were all together. The grounds are fun to explore—we even saw an armadillo rooting around the first evening. Coffee on the back porch while watching the sun come up and the deer and their fawns get their morning drink from the pond was so peaceful. This property is a gem, and I recommend anyone who looks at it to book. We certainly will again—except we will book for a longer period! Thank you, Tyler and Melissa!

We had an amazing stay here. We had friends and family celebrate our marriage. Melissa’s Farmstead was beautiful and we had so much fun playing games out in the yard. I would recommend this to anyone.

A gorgeous property, much appreciated
