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.

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.

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!

Cozy place 1 block from Main Street. It was our first time in Fredericksburg and we had a great time.

10/10

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.

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

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.

This was our second stay at Austin Street Retreat. We stayed in Eli's place and it was charming and cozy. It was a beautiful weekend with warm days and cool nights. My husband made a great little fire in the fireplace and we relaxed on the patio in the mornings. Very comfortable and easy to walk from down town main street area which we did all weekend long.

The room was lovely.I wish that the fireplace was a working one. The bed was very comfortable but I had difficulty getting into it (I'm only 5'2"!). Maybe a stool next to the bed would have helped.

This was a very lovely cottage and could merit a much better rating. We give it this rating for the following reasons: Cleanliness, unkept patio, quaint cottage in run down condition Tom and Marie Ames

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.

I rented the Eli as a gift for my son and daughter-in-law for their wedding/honeymoon. They loved the privacy and completely enjoyed the house! I also ordered some extras like wine and baked goods so they could really enjoy some quality time together and they absolutely loved it! They will be going back for another trip on one of their anniversaries and have convinced my husband and I to go as well! Thank you so much for helping me with this very important gift to my son and my new daughter!! See you soon.

Elis was quaint, we stayed 1 night and then went across the way to El Jefes. The tubs were great but I wish they had showers too. we had 1 issue with El Jefes, the chimey flum was to small and poured smoke into the bedroom. I had to take the logs out and put the fire out or we would have chocked to death.

8/10

This was our first time staying at a place that wasn't a secluded cabin out in the country. We did enjoy the convenience of a short drive. In the warmer months you can comfortably walk to your favorite shops. Eli's is an addition off of a vacation home, so we could hear some people talking through the walls. Not enough to follow conversation, it was muffled. If you don't mind staying in a quaint hotel suite, this is an upgrade. Looks historic and pretty landscaping.

6/10

It was ok. The room was quaint and the accessibility to Main Street was great but not being able to take a shower was very disappointing. I was told when I called that there was a small shower and when I inquired further it turned out to be an expandable faucet on the bath tub.

The home and surroundings were perfect - nice & private - very comfortable. food vouchers were worthless. my only suggestion would be to either do away with that "feature" or get a better selection. I was only able to find one of the places and they only served breakfast food, and only until 1130am - about 30 mins before I found them.But I will return - will just be sure to bring plenty of my own food.

Our stay was nice. Just a few complaints..the room had a smell when we first entered. I know the place is older, but, we felt the smell could have been covered. Also, the antler chandelier above the bed was covered in spider webs or cobwebs. Our last night there we were greeted with the presence of a cockroach. I understand those are inevitable, at times. Just wanted to make you aware. Thank you.
