Fantastic Stay!

We were in town for a wedding and stayed at the Dairy Barn for two nights. Our host, Patricia, replied quickly to all my questions, and the barn was perfect! We loved the decor, the snacks/breakfast muffins/cold beverages waiting for us upon check-in, comfy beds, and the great linens. There was also access to a side road where we went on a long walk one morning. We will definitely be back - thank you!

Great place!

The cabin was cute and cozy. The wine tour I did thru the owners was a lot of fun they drove us around in their car so it was very nice not to be in a large wine tour group. Cannot wait to stay again!

We had a wonderful family getaway!

We enjoyed the rustic charm and large space for our family of 5. The porch and yard area were an added bonus. Would recommend to any family looking for something different from the typical hotel.

Great location for exploring Texas Hill Country

Stayed in this nice, spacious one bedroom suite cottage two nights. It was perfect for our dog and us, with cool walls and floors in the Texas heat. Beds were super comfortable and there were nice breakfast fixings (oatmeal, yogurt, etc.). So nice to have a VRBO house that takes pets

Nice little place to stay

The cabin is exactly how it's described online. We had plenty of room and we're excited we could bring our dog along on the vacation. The only thing I would say is it's located near a very busy road so it was a little louder than expected.

Great night!

The one night we stayed was everything we hoped for. I got to sleep on the couch but the lucky ones in my group thought the beds were exceptionally comfortable. The pastry was delicious. I hope to return!

Great location to catch up with Friends

The Ava House was beautifully furnished with antiques. The cabin was larger than expected. My friend and I enjoyed the delicious pastries, yogurts, and drinks that were provided in the cabin. We also were impressed with the comfortable king size beds. We plan to return to this house in the future. Thanks Patty!

Going back in time!

This place is so charming! Rustic, but extremely comfortable. My friend and I loved having 50+ VHS tapes to choose from to watch from the big day bed like couch and the king sized beds were great. The pastries chosen for our breakfast weren't just from a grocery store, but from an amazing bakery in town, so that was an unexpected plus! It's very close to town and we had a great view of the sunset from our porch. I would absolutely stay here again :)

Beautiful, relaxing, romantic getaway!

Beautiful, quaint, relaxing, and romantic! Loved this B&B! The bed was extremely comfy. Decor was gorgeous. Pastry was delicious. Only complaint is that the water pressure was not good in the bathroom. Had toilet flushing issues & water in bathroom sink was super slow. Had to brush teeth in the kitchen sink. The low water pressure in the bathroom is the only reason I gave it 4 stars.

Beautiful area

The location of the dairy is excellent just about one and a half miles from town. The dairy building itself has a lot of charm and the hostess is very nice. The room was clean the beds were nice and there was plenty of coffee and drinks along with an amazing almond ring from a local bakery. There was only one downside to the dairy itself and that was the extremely small bathroom. I am a small person and could not turn around in the shower without running into a wall. Other than that very cute place to stay.

Peaceful, Pleasant and Quiet Stay.

For my wife and I - it was our first night away from our new born after 3 months. We're out of Austin and it was nice to only have to travel a little over an hour to get out of town. And the Ava Haus added to our visit to Fredericksburg. To be able to unplug and relax in such a wonderful little little haus was awesome. Feels like your way out in the country but only a few minutes away to great dining. We ran the 4 mile 'loop trail' at enchanted rock added to the sense of adventure followed by a big breakfast in town afterwards. It is amazing what a day or two on a porch with coffee can do for a couple, just an hour from home. The Ava Haus really gave us a great sense of getting away but still being close to home. We will go back! Steve

Double check listing

I wanted to go to Fredericksburg and enjoy the city and the restaurants. The main thing I was looking for in a place to stay was an indoor fireplace. My husband and I love sitting in front of the fireplace and playing games When we arrived, we saw there was no fireplace. I had previously contacted the owner to see if they provided the firewood for the fireplace. However, I failed to verify that the fireplace was indoors. When I contacted the owner, she acknowledged that there had been an issue with VRBO When they went to a new platform and that all of her listings showed an incorrect description. She thanked me for letting her know and she corrected her listings. She also sent information that I should contact Customer Service at VRBO. I thought the VRBO was going to offer me some kind of a compensation however they stated only the host could refund and that was not something she wanted to do. VRBO did reimburse me their payment that they receive. All in all I just wanna reiterate that people need to verify what’s listed that you’re looking for and and enjoy. Although the place was very nice it was missing the fireplace inside and we were disappointed.

Descent place

First impression was wonderful. Walked in and found a nice bottle of wine, snacks, etc with an adorable looking inside (rustic and old). There were a few things that made it lose its luster... 1. Expired yogurt in fridge 2. Stickers in the rugs (wear shoes always) 3. Missing aerator on bathroom sink 4. Slippery step getting out of shower 5. Dirty AC vents 6. Rotted wood around bathroom sink 7. Mattresses were extremely soft (we sank) 8. Internet continuously slow (WiFi not strong) Other than that, it was a descent stay. After paying $450+ for 2.5 days....seems there should be some upkeep so that the property is maintained.
