About this property

Metzger Sunday House | 1 Block South of Main St.

  • Farmers by occupation, the Metzger family built this little home in town in 1898 to use on the weekends for shopping and attending church and it has been kept in the family ever since. Located just one block south of Main Street in the Historic District, guests will delight in seeing the Metzger Sunday House along with two other original Sunday Houses all lined up in a row.

    Typical of the old Sunday Houses, a small covered porch with swing and comfy chair greets you upon arrival. The main room serves double duty as a bedroom and sitting area. A queen-size bed is the focal point of the room. This magnificent bed has been handed down in the family and is topped with a colorful comforter and fluffy pillows. The antique velvet sofa and chair is comfortably arranged around the television.

    The kitchen is fully equipped for your use and delightfully appointed with rich, bright colors. A table for four is in the center of this spacious kitchen. The bath has a tub and shower.

    Located only a block from Main Street, this special home is easy walking to shopping and churches. In addition, photographers for major publications, such as Texas Highways, frequently use this picturesque home for magazine and newspaper articles and there is even a postcard that can be found locally of it. Furthermore, this home participated in the 150th Fredericksburg Anniversary Tour.

    *Please be aware that the house has a Smart TV but you will need to bring your own login information from home.*

Nice location

The house was one block from the Main Street. Wonderful location. Quiet and cute neighborhood. The house could have been cleaner and the bed was very sloped with the bottom of the bed higher than our heads. We switched and slept with our heads at the foot of the bed.

Staying at Metzger Sunday House

The place was clean and the bed was comfortable. Climate control good. The supplies were lacking. No dish soap, not enough coffee to make a small pot full, no wash cloths.

Unique, special, connection to the past

It was a real treat to be able to stay in an authentic Sunday House! It was a true bridge to the past. We walked to Church just as the owners would have done. We enjoyed coffee every morning and a nightcap every evening on the front porch swing.The house was large enough to be comfortable; small enough to be quaint. The front room and eat in kitchen gave us plenty of space to relax. The furnishings, old time closets, and overall simplicity provided us a way to experience the past with modern day comforts of hot showers, air conditioning and kitchen amenities. Just as described, it was quiet, one block from Main Street, with private off-street parking. We look forward to returning!

Cute and perfect for two people

We loved the property. The bed was super comfortable so they must have replaced it after some of the negative reviews. The only downside is the toilet is super slow to refill and runs most of the night. It was exactly what we needed for a place to stay in Fredericksburg.

Cute,historical

House was cute, historical, close to Main Street. Kitchen was very sparsely furnished, very dirty sponge left for us on the sink, house is in desperate need of a good cleaning. Windows, base boards very “old” dusty, couch creases are layered in dust, grim rests, not what you would expect for a $200 a night😳rental😳not what

Quaint and Close

The Sunday House is perfectly positioned for a lovely weekend on main street. The quaint house is walking distance to restaurants, bars, shops, and museums. The off street parking was ideal for unloading luggage and shopping bags. Because of the closeness to restaurants we did not use the eat in kitchen but there is plenty of space for eating and cooking for a night in. I mostly loved enjoying coffee and a night cap on the front porch swing enjoying the slow pace and quietness of the surrounding community.

Great location

The location was perfect for walking to shop & eat on Main St. Reading the history on the house was very interesting. It is an older house, but the only issue we had was the toilet not properly flushing, so running. Noticed furniture could use a good dusting. Coffee pot not working right, it took 25 mins to brew 4 cups. Just minor issues. Overall we had a lovely stay.

Quaint and Historic

The Metzger House is ideal for any couple looking to relax, enjoy each others company and the town of Fredricksburg. The location is perfect; only a block away from the bustle of Main Street. Park your car next to the house (not on the street) and walk for the remainder of your stay! The house is NOT modern! It's historic. So be prepared to step back in time when the Metzgers would (leave work) ride to town for the weekend to get groceries and go to church.

Loved It!

The house was very nice and quaint. You folks always do a good job having the house ready and you did not disappoint. Great location, nice wide street, and far enough off the main street that it was quiet. One quick note: let the cleaning crew know NOT to use pledge on the kitchen table. Old English will take the sticky film off that is on there now. :)
