    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.

    Eli's is a one bedroom suite which was added to the original historic structure by a family of preservationists. The original windmill and cypress water tank grace the private limestone terrace. Inside, architectural artifacts from around the world work to create a haven from the ordinary. The cast iron mantle from a Philadelphia mansion, antique carved wood sculpture bed frame and antler chandelier all grace the natural integrity of the limestone wall. Featured in the bath is a two person jetted tub which is set in a glass block wall allowing at the same time private and natural light.

    The suites uses Brooklinen sheet and towels.

    FANTASTIC and close to Main Street shopping, dining, and drinks.

    The accommodations were just as expected and needed! Eli's place is where we stayed and the decor plus fireplace was a delight! Breakfast/lunch coupons were an added perk too! My wife and I loved it and will definitely return!

    The Best Home away from home!

    We go to Fredericksburg 2-4 times a year and we stay at the Austin St retreat each and every time! It is by far the best place in town! Eli's is our favorite of the group, but there isn't a bad one at the retreat. The whirlpool tub is amazing and the whole location is just terrific!

    Eli's cabin

    What a great place to stay. Furnished firewood, comfortable bed, very secluded just a few minutes away from the shopping district, and coupons to save at several food establishments. The staff was so friendly upon picking up and dropping off the keys. It was just a great experience.

    Eli

    Eli's bed was comfortable. We felt the rental company should explain that the bath is very difficult to get in and out of. We are pretty agile and we had difficulty. Additionally, the jacuzzi bath did not seem clean especially the jets.

    Wonderful place to stay!

    We love Austin St Retreat. It's quiet, beautiful, and well cared for. We enjoy the tall beds ( and step stools)! It's great to be close enough to walk anywhere we want to go in town. Have stayed here before and will again!

    The property was great and cozy, we had everything we needed plus the location was secluded and quiet, yet very short to downtown locations. We will visit this specific property again.

    Eli's was just beautiful, and so peaceful. Even though there were others staying nearby, it felt secluded, private, and relaxing - exactly what was needed! Only wish we could have stayed longer.

    4/10 Poor

    Eli's

    We have stayed at Eli's (and other Austin Street Retreat cottages) numerous times over the past 30 years). While normally very good, this stay was by far the most uncomfortable. The HVAC system was unbelievably loud and kept us up all night while it cycled on and off. Y'all should try insulating the area around the equipment. We won't be back, which is sad since we were married in Eli's 30 years ago.

    Nice little place

    We had an enjoyable weekend here. The location was great, and the room comfortable. The only issues we had were the VERY tall bed (no steps to help you get up on it), no front porch light (it was there, but never found the switch), and the mess around the patio and courtyard (squirrels having a heyday with green pecans, everything covered with shells).Overall, a nice place.

    Comfortable and pleasant

    Cabin was nice but needs a deep cleaning outside requires some ground keeping and a little bit more security lights.
