Gillespie House
The house was cute and clean. The outside areas were a bit run down and cluttered, but especially the back garden area. And although we understand things are different during Covid the “continental breakfast” provided was disappointing. It consisted of Little Debbie pastries, cereal packs most of which were kiddie cereals like Cocoa Puffs and a very random selection of Keurig coffees. It seems a B&B could do better, even in the age of Covid. We only met the husband,Mike, and he was very friendly. We had a wonderful time in Fredericksburg,but would not choose this house again.

Not what we expected
As you know we only stayed one night. The house needs to be brought up to your standards of cleanliness. Plus Mr Gillespie was under the impression he could come in and out at anytime day or night. My sister n law felt bad so she went downstairs to lay on the couch from 12am-3am. Mr Gillespie asked why someone slept on the couch. The only way he knew this was he came in while she dozed. At 3 am she came back up after seeing a large rat in the living room.Also the suite we were in did not have a lock on the door. I will not post a review on social media as I feel it is an issue with the owner and not your service. Just not what I have come to expect from your service.

HORRIBLE! This listing NEEDS to be removed PROMPTLY!!!
You (VRBO) need to immediately remove this listing from your service. To start, it's very deceptive. The property "management" is not upfront about what this is, which is a disgusting, creepy room rental. It is NOT a bed & breakfast. Which I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to eat a damn thing from the people who run it, much less, cook in that kitchen! The management team/owners are deceptive. They are not transparent in their listing. That's strike one. They don't leave the space you're in while there. One of them took it upon themselves to go into (at least) one of the rooms while my friends were gone and pulled down the sheets to her bed. No, this wasn't a fancy service where they neatly fold the sheet and cover over and leave a mint. No, they lifted the cover and sheet as if they were looking for something. Strike two. The last straw was when I got back with them and LUCKILY, went in with them... that's when I saw the kitchen.... dirty dishes in the sink and cockroaches walking on the counter. This is when I investigated further. Went through a door (nothing posted saying, "Do Not Enter") only to find more of a mess and another door. That's when I found out these filthy people were there. DO NOT BOOK THIS PLACE. IT'S DISGUSTING! VRBO, you need to remove them and restrict them from ever posting again.

Inaccurate Description
This location was quaint and charming, but COMPLETELY different than the listing described. This is NOT an entire house as the listing leads you to believe! There are two suites on the top floor, and the property managers live in the home. There is no true access to the garden, and it is uncomfortable to use the living and dining rooms downstairs because the owners come and go through the kitchen that you’re not allowed to use. Days before your stay, you’ll receive an email with details that clue you into the fact you will be sharing a house with the owners, but it’s too late to cancel at that point. The place is cute, but could definitely use some upgrades in the bedrooms and bathrooms. We walked around back to see the garden, but it’s a little junky and inaccessible to guests. The property managers are sweet, but they had no idea who was staying at the house, which leads me to believe they do not really manage the rooms or property. The location is great, and easy access to Main St. If this was listed as a B&B (which it somewhat is), I would completely understand and still may have stayed here. But, it’s an awful feeling to realize you’ve been led to believe something that’s untrue, and then to get to the property and the manager doesn’t even know he has guests staying, and will be in the house with you.

Perfect Stay
This property was perfect for a weekend wine-tasting getaway! It was walking distance to Main St and everywhere else we needed to go!

Fredericksburg at Christmas
Property and location are great. We stayed there with another couple and the rooms are across the hall from each other, both have separate seating area and bath, so perfect for couples. The home is old style charm and the artwork throughout the home is beautiful. Our host were perfect! We will stay again.

Great property, but be warned Owner Lives On/In Property
I want to first start off by stating this was a lovely older property. My husband and I, along with another couple booked for this property for a little weekend getaway. But please be warned the description and details on the property listing is NOT upfront on a few very important items. One very important fact is that the owner lives on the back part of the property (this is not listed anywhere, until you get your pre arrival email well beyond the cancellation option), and though the rental gives the appearance you are renting a home with the living area, kitchen and rooms in its entirety. You are in fact only renting the suites upstairs (kitchen is off limits). And the owners (which are very nice) come in and out of the home regularly to utilize the kitchen. Their small wiener dog has range of the house and though friendly we left with a parting gift of him peeing on our bag sitting on the floor before we left. We did enjoy the lovely front porch in the evenings, but were not comfortable to hang out on the back terrace that the description mentions in the evenings due to the owners being there on site. I have rented multiple properties thru VBRO over the years, and the descriptions and property details have always been accurate. Again though nice, we would not have rented the property had we known these details up front. When you are paying the prices you pay for a what is presented as a home rental from VBRO you expect just that, a home.
