    The property was beautifully decorated and fully equipped. We felt immediately at home. The outdoor setting and the pool were its best features for us. We spent so much time outside enjoying the garden and the pool. There were tons of towels and pool toys, and the sitting areas were fabulous for beating the heat of the day. Additionally, we anticipated rain during our trip and brought many games...but there was no need. There were plenty at hand, and the pool table was the best; we spent one evening just playing pool. I shall remember this place and have already recommended it to several friends.

    We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Sweet Escape! The home was exactly as described—clean, beautifully decorated, and perfectly sized for our group of 7. It's a historic home with ceiling to floor huge windows. We spent hours in the heated pool/hot tub which was clean and well-maintained. We also loved the extra touches like the pool floats and the well-stocked kitchen. We even received a delicious charcuterie board from the host Jill! Another great touch was there were fresh flowers throughout the home - we loved that! They have a pool table we utilized nightly. And the best part - it's close to everything! Jill, our host was very communicative and made check-in and check-out a breeze. We would most definitely stay here again!

    The house was even better than expected!! Jill was great at communicating and offering assistance and recommendations. The kids loved the loft room and yard. They spent a lot of time enjoying the pool and the adults loved the outdoor seating and fire pit. Excellent place for family or group trips. The house was fully stocked with everything we could possibly need. Lots of floats and pool toys were an unexpected bonus. Highly recommend and would stay again.

    The home was just absolutely beautiful, a true oasis in the heart of Fredericksburg, Texas. And Jill, our host, could not have been more accommodating. This was an annual college reunion my buddies have been doing for over two decades, all of us being Fightin’ Texas Aggies. Jill even left us a Texas A&M cookie cake as a little welcome treat!

We hosted a girls weekend bachelorette trip and EVERYONE was so impressed with the attention to detail, coziness, and amazing outdoor space. The host even brought an extra Chili Pot for us when we asked if the home had one. Absolutely amazing, 10/10 experience! We all can't wait to book again, thank you so much!!

    The house, yard, and pool were beautiful. The grounds and home were clean, well stocked, and organized. There were lots of pool toys and corn hole, and a fire pit. We enjoyed sitting in the backyard after dark watching the fireflies. The kids loved having the upstairs all to themselves with two big beds, its own bathroom, and a TV. We were mere minutes from downtown. We had a magical stay at this home.

    This property was a perfect spot for our long weekend getaway. The home delivered what had been promised and more. We relaxed in the pool and enjoyed the beautiful yard. The location is ideal to enjoy all the offerings in the area from hiking Enchanted Rock, picking fruit in a nearby orchard, wine tasting and of course enjoying the town. We started every day with an easy walk to Main Street to try a different coffee shop. We even squeezed in an evening ghost tour. All of this while having plenty of time to relax, cook and play games in this beautiful home. We will be back.

Fully stocked with anything you could want and plenty of room to enjoy with friends. There were 5 of us. The hostess is extremely responsive and goes over and above to make your visit perfect - even fresh flowers in almost every room!! If I could give this property more than 5 stars, I would!!!

    I cannot say enough wonderful words to describe Jill or this home! Jill went out of her way to help us after we were left high and dry by a last minute booking cancellation elsewhere. Our large family was traveling from out of town to celebrate belated holiday fun. Jill was so welcoming and had the hot tub on for us upon arrival! She was so responsive and helpful with our last minute change to her gorgeous home. We were overjoyed at this turn of events when we were able to fully relax and enjoy all this home has to offer from the game room for cheese and puzzles, multiple Christmas trees, pool table, comfy reading books, nap spots, perfectly equipped bedrooms & bathrooms & kitchen. It wa the most magical experience for our family to be together in such a lovely home. Everything was so close too…we were up and down Main Street…from eating at Hondos, at the house, wine tasted at Beckers, and even went to the Pacific war museum. Thank you Jill!
