Sunset House | Fredericksburg Vacation Rental
This wonderful Garden Home is located just four blocks north of Main Street in a residential area. Your hostess created this home as a retirement home, and says it was a chance to “retire and go off into the sunset.” Now she and her husband are anxious to share this special home with visitors to Fredericksburg. Memories of days gone by are found throughout the home, and your hosts hope you enjoy what they share with you.
Entering into the foyer and living room guests can enjoy the openness of this comfortable home. The living room is placed to enjoy the cable television, VCR/DVD. Movies are available in the cabinet adjacent to the television. The fireplace is for decoration only, at this time. Open to the living room (but can be private by pulling the curtain) is your hostess’ music room. This is where her students gave their recitals. The porch just outside the living room is comfortable and great for enjoying brisk mornings or twilight evenings.
A fully-equipped kitchen is perfect for the holidays or just preparing breakfast. A dining table is easily accessible from the kitchen or living room.
Two bedrooms and baths are found in the home. The master bedroom has a king bed, shower in the bath and access onto the patio. Even better, the bedroom and bath are handicap friendly. A small room adjacent to the master bedroom is the “apple room”, and is so named from your hostess’ history of being a part of the teaching profession for many, many years. A second bedroom has two twin beds. The chest in this room is the baby chest used when the homeowner was a young child. The bathroom for this bedroom has a tub with a shower.

Wonderful visit. This B&B has absolutely everything one would need. The antique furnishings with notes describing each item were informative and interesting. Loved the music room. We hope to visit again soon.

Sunset House (Marilyn) provided us with a comfortable home to relax in and laugh together. Arrangements were perfect for 4. She left extra goodies for us in the kitchen. Sweet!!! Everything was absolutely wonderful. Decorated with her family heirlooms, it was cozy and inviting. Loved our time there!
Awesome house

Just a few words to say that we really enjoyed the Sunset House. It was very comfortable and made us feel like home. We especially liked all the little notes about the history of the house. We will definitely go back!! Blessings, Gail & Tony Rosas

This house and the owner were the nicest place we have EVER stayed in Fredericksburg. The owner did so any things to make the house like home and so comfortable. All sorts of goodies and food items. Knowing it was my husband's bd she had a cake for him waiting. We can't wait to come back and stay there again!
A wonderful home with many special touches

I hate to leave such a wonderful review because it will be harder for to rent next time, but this place is wonderful. We normally stay closer to the downtown area but this worked out great for us. This place is CLEAN! No issues anywhere. The HOSTESS is marvelous and a wonderful communicator. Everything was ready for us when we arrived (including some sweet indulgences :-) ) WIFI works great and was easy to get connected. The A/C worked wonderfully and I could turn the fan on at night so I didn\'t hear the system coming on and off. We have been coming down to Fredericksburg for decades and this is one of our favorite places.
Sunset House is great!

We had such a wonderful time at Sunset House this weekend and the host made it extra special! The host left a sweet note for us upon arrival welcoming us as well as many goodies. Her hospitality and thoughtfulness was greatly appreciated. The house itself is very spacious and well maintained. We instantly felt at home! We had a wonderful stay and I would definitely stay there again!
FANTASTIC!

Sunset House was perfect. Our weekend could not have been any better....certainly "home" away from "home." We loved the history of the house including the contents. What a treasure!

Great experience working with Gästehaus Schmidt! The house accommodated two couples very well! The owner left a sweet note and a loaf of fresh bread from the bakery. There were many family heirlooms in the house and lots of stories to read. Thank you!

The Sunset House was a home away from home. Every amenity from home was transported there- fluffy towels, comfortable beds, snacks, games, DVDs, magazines, directions on how to use every electronic device, bird watching, rocking on the patio. Our group felt so amazingly pampered by the owner, Marilyn. We will stay there again and definitely recommend the facility.

This is the second time we have stayed in the Sunset house and it's wonderful. It's well stocked with goodies to eat and drink, it's always perfectly clean, and it's beautiful. We love it. We're nearing retirement age and this is the exact kind of place that we want to retire to. The only thing to be improved on is the WIFI. Our daughter's Iphone is the only one out of four devices that would link up. Shows a strong signal but just would not connect. That still does not detract from how great the Sunset House is though. Thank you for a great stay. We'll be back.
We loved Sunset House!

We had a girls weekend in Fredericksburg. Our stay at Sunset House was perfect. Marilyn thought of everything to make our stay perfect. Her knack for detail is wonderful. We plan on staying at Sunset House in November 2019!
We love our vacation home in the hill country!

If you love history and want to stay in a quiet place this is place for you.The home is filled with so many pieces of the owners history it is amazing! Each important piece has a small note card placed by it that explains what it is and why it is important. I spent the first evening just wandering around the house reading the note cards and loved every minute of it.
The Hostess is simply AMAZING in her own right. We stayed during Mothers day, but I had a birthday a few days prior and our 35th Anniversary also came while we were here. We walked in the front door and made our way to the kitchen and on the table was a Birthday Cake and card as well as a beautiful orchid and an Anniversary card. Marilyn is so thoughtful and caring and we were just blown away by this gesture.
We plan staying here from now on (if the house is available) whenever we come visit Fredericksburg.
