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.

The location was ideal. The place needs a deep clean and the kitchen items need to be upgraded. But, we enjoyed our stay.

I didn’t appreciate the fact that the management company called the sheriff’s department upon my arrival to the property to verify that indeed it was only 2 people that were staying as that’s how I booked it. Did they think I was brining 20 more people with me? Never again!

Metzer House

Little house was just fine for the two of us. We only slept there, didn’t eat or spend any daylight hours there. Everything we needed was there. Bed was comfortable, ac/heater worked well. The house had some wear spots but didn’t bother us. Pricing was reasonable and cheaper than hotel when you only need a place to sleep.Rated the wine question with a 1 star cause we do not drink it, so it wasn’t a must have.

Metzger Sunday House stay

We really loved our stay at the Metzger Sunday house. The house was well kept, clean and handy to everything in town. Fredericksburg is such a nice place to visit. We were impressed with the process and plan to use this place again.

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!
