If you’re in to Victorian style this is a good place to experience it . I enjoyed every room and the two nights there. I did not even leave the whole time I was there it was so much to explore.

Fredericksburg getaway

This was an old house, full of old furniture, and smelled like it. Beautiful furnishings, but way too much of it. Every armoire, chest and closet was full of old shoes, hats and clothes, so there was no place to put our stuff. The furniture was very uncomfortable, except for the beds which were fine. If you love antiques, and are charmed by old houses, this is the house for you.

Overwhelmed

The pictures in the add are somewhat misleading. The house has way more furniture and 'stuff' setting around. There is so much antique collections clutter there is no place to set your own luggage and personal items. Even the kitchen had full cabinets and counters. Also, being two women traveling alone, not being able to completely cover some of the windows was discouraging. We also had someone come and clean the back patio while we were out shopping. A little unsettling. They also removed a box we had set outside for recycling our glass water bottles. We still enjoyed our stay in Fredricksburg but we won't choose this house again. Thank you.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! There were some issues with the A/C, but the property owners/managers responded quickly, had it fixed and refunded us for a portion of our stay.

Just so cute!

This place is so cute! It has all these great decorations and little hidden gems. Also the snacks for breakfast and the stocked fridge were awesome. We had to cut our visit short due to weather but the service at Gastehaus was also great in this regard. We hope to stay at Alte again...in warmer weather! We highly recommend this place!

Historical Charm

We stayed here for a girls’ weekend and loved it! We all love history and enjoyed looking at everything displayed in the home. We were comfortable and enjoyed sitting in the parlor in the evening. We all wish we had stayed one extra day to do nothing but explore every nook and cranny because there was so much to see!

This was a very nice and all the Antiques that were inside were amazing with a lot of history. As for the location only about 3 1/2 blocks for Main Street was great to enjoy the short walk to watch the Christmas parade and see all the lights at the MarkePlatz again this year and our guest with us really enjoyed it.

A lot of clutter

The house was cluttered with a lot of old relics… very musty when we first arrived. Kept the AC very cold to help me not have asthma attacks. There was a lot of old things to look at and read. Was difficult to get comfortable on the old furniture. The larger bed had a dip in the middle of the bed that my husband and I rolled into. We were Out on the town a lot and made It all work out. The clutter disturbed our ability to really relax though. It was everywhere!! They did say that it was an old house, but I’ve stayed in many that don’t smell musty and are decorated with the dated style, but without all the clutter. Wasn’t really for us.

The faceless doll, the flexing floors

This place is a museum. Every inch is covered in antiques. We parked in the nice driveway. After that it got creepy. The back patio was cluttered in finds. At The back door entry we were greeted by a faceless doll sitting in a chair facing the entry. The other creepy dolls and antique furniture had me creeped out. The floors need a lot of bracing, as I walked all the nicknacks would clink and chime with the flexing floor. I couldn’t stay here. Was too haunted feeling for us. Some may love this place.

Back in Time

If you remove the a/c and electric, the house transports you back to the early 1900's. Beautiful antique furniture in the house, along with an abundance of period pieces. If you are looking to go back to the early 1900's, then this is the place for you!

Wonderful!

I booked this house as a girl weekend getaway for my best friend's 40th birthday. We are both major history buffs and I wanted to make this a special trip for her. This house was beyond what we could hope for and we both absolutely loved exploring all of the little details placed throughout this historic home. The staff was amazing and super friendly and always willing to answer any questions we had. Thank you for helping me make this such a memorable weekend!

Lovely home with

Lovely home with wonderful antiques. Hosts were very accommodating and kind. One criticism would be lack of space for guests to settle in. Every counter, drawer or closet was filled with antiques which left no space for our clothes, toiletries etc. Enjoyed back patio space and nesting cardinals!

The property is unique and very interesting. Some beautiful pieces of furniture and dinner ware. But cluttered and dusty. The yard and porches could be lovely but they were dirty and cluttered. We did appreciate the authenticity of the property. Thank you for letting us explore your home

Spooky, kitschy, no space to spread out.

This house has an odd layout, with one bedroom being basically in the middle of the house. The description says the second bedroom didn’t have a door, but in reality you have to walk through the bedroom to get anywhere in the house. Every surface is covered with old stuff, every closet is full, every drawer as well, so guests don’t have room to unpack. It’s can, but coated with weird, kinda spiky old stuff. We don’t use the kitchen except for the coffee maker. They want really a communal space that was comfortable. I would not recommend for families, and I worked definitely not stay again.

Great location but like staying in a museum instead of a comfortable home with comfortable beds and place to sit and visit. Every surface covered with stuff. Very interesting stuff but still way too much. And had to use the backdoor only. Not kid friendly or for senior adults.

A Place Left in Time

We loved our stay at the Alte house. We love history, we love antiques and we love charming. This is the place to stay to appreciate history at it's finest. This is a place for adult only company. There are too many priceless antiques for children to be around. We are so thankful for the opportunity to stay here. We will hold it in our hearts. Kudos for sharing this amazing part of history with us. Thank you -- Gene and Laurie
