The Austin Street Retreat is an authentic historic home built by European settlers well over a century ago. Restored and embellished through the decades with modern amenities, there are now five unique suites. Located one block off Main Street in Fredericksburg's National Historic District, this premier property is an authentic Texas treasure built of stone, timber and stucco. It is situated on a large double lot shaded by old growth pecan trees and perennials from the LBJ Ranch. Each suite features elegant, charming decor along with a private terrace.
Popular for Hill Country wine tours, family and friend reunions, special occasions and celebrations, the Retreat can sleep a total of twelve people.
MARIA'S SUITE It all began in 1867 when immigrants John and Maria Walter built a log cabin structure and began their new life in Texas. The heritage of these pioneers is preserved here with eighteen inch thick walls, original paint on the ceiling, wood floors and wavy glass in the windows. Added later as the family grew and prospered was a limestone room. Both rooms are now bedrooms each with a Queen size bed. In addition, there is a dressing room, powder room enclosed space with a jetted tub and handheld shower and a sitting room with a flat screen TV, DVD and Time Warner cable. The lovely private terrace has an outdoor table and chairs shaded by a pecan tree which is the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine.
The suite does allow one dog but we ask that is is 20 lbs or less. Furthermore, there is an additional pet fee. Please bring a crate for your dog and crate him or her in your absence from the house, do not allow the dog on furniture or beds, and pick up and properly dispose of their waste. If these rules are not followed, there will be an additional $200 charge added to your reservation.
The suite uses Brooklinen sheets and towels and Helix mattresses.

Could have been better
The B&B is very rustic which we expected. However, the toilet did not flush very well, bathroom had roaches and the tub was not cleaned very well. Although the location was nice we would have expected more for the price

I LOVED IT
The place was great! So, cute and so much old-world charm. I only have a couple of complaints. Firstly, the tub is kind of dangerous for your older, not so thin, customers. Not everyone likes taking a bath and prefer a shower. The shower head barely reached my head to rinse my hair, so I sat down to rinse my hair, and then had a really hard time getting back up safely.
Secondly, when I went to use some of the dishes, specifically a plate and cup, they had dust on them as if they'd not been cleaned in a while, let alone for each different guest.
But I'd still certainly return again, because the good far outweighed the bad.

We had such a great experience!!!! Such a fun place to stay! Comfortable beds and great location!! If you need white noise- do bring it. There aren’t any fans for white noise, and weather was great so air never needed to kick on. Would stay here again.
We had a wonderful time at this house. It was the perfect size, had everything we needed, and was in a great location! I would definitely recommend this house to anyone (especially if you have pets)! Check-in and out was super simple and the hosts were always accessible! Great weekend getaway!
Cozy, wish it had a shower other than that great property.

pleasant and atmospheric
"Maria" had more than enough space for up to 4 people. The decor was terrific- very authentic. The AC, in contrast, was modern- absolutely silent, a real pleasure. It's located on a quiet road, but still close enough to the main drag that its quite walkable.
Good weekend. Conveniently located just off Main St. Clean and neat.

We liked the cottage. But, the lack ofhotwater one day and after it was "fixed" the water was tepid at best.

Cabin Fever at the Maria!
Take a break and enjoy a step back in the Maria Cabin with all the added details! From the front porch swing, special tasting coffee, makeup hand towels and a rubber duck for the jetted tub to the out door quaintness of the table and chairs to enjoy a glass of wine! The location is just perfect being one block off of the main drag. Thank you for your hospitality always as I will return!

Charming
The place was charming. It was unique. My only concern was the tub. Being 60+, it was challenging for me and also my friends to get in and out of. The terrace was lovely.

Nice Historic Cabin
The place was nice and the bed was comfortable. We had an issue with the front door lock not working but it was quickly handled by Jon. The place is rustic so if that is not what you prefer this may not be the place for you
