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.*

Old Town
We enjoyed the history and the location. It was a cold night so we could have used another blanket. I just an not into sleeping in an overheated room. I wish the owners would put a little of TLC into this old place, but the way it is makes it more affordable. Oh, there was a coffee maker and decaf coffee in the fridge, but no filters. It is within walking distance from plenty of cafes and coffee shops.

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.

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.

Cute house, conveniently located. We liked everything about the house except for the bed. Neither one of us slept well and both woke up with low back and neck pain after sleeping in that bed.

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.

Cozy little place
When I first saw the place we didn’t think we would like it. But, after we stayed, we Loved it!! Yes, it’s small. But it has everything you need for nice chill weekend. Yes, the TV is small, but why are watching TV anyway? You should be out exploring and wine tasting and then come home and be too tired to watch TV. Yes, it’s old and creaky, but WOW!, that’s the charm in this place. The location was in walking distance of Main Street and all the shops. There was not much of a back yard to speak of amenities wise, but it was 100 degrees and the AC worked just fine. In short, if you’re looking for a 5 star hotel type stay, don’t stay here. But, if you’re like my wife and I we enjoyed the charm, the coziness, and the history of the place. Oh yeah, bed was small but super comfortable! The PM was easy to work with as well. Initially I booked the wrong dates and I called and had to changed for no up charge. Great job!!

I appreciated that it is a historical home, and that's fine for furniture, but if you could use vintage looking bathroom fixtures in the bathroom, it would be better. Also, not linoleum on the floors.
