My
Little House Bed and Breakfast is truly unique and may be the oldest
guest house in Fredericksburg designed and built as such. It is reminiscent
of the San Francisco guesthouses where the cottage was build toward the
back of the property where the family lived before the main house was built.
Then later as the family prospered, they built their home on the front of
the property and used the cottage as a guesthouse. This little cottage is
tucked behind the main house exactly as was the practice in San Francisco.
It is the original house on the property and was built in the very early
20th century.
When
the host purchased the property, it was discovered that very few repairs
were needed because the cottage was initially so well built. Modern –day
comforts were added including kitchen, bath, central heat/air, and screened
in porch. The original beaded board walls and ceiling and the fluted window
frames are the architectural elements of MY LITTLE HOUSE that give it true
appeal and grace. The bones of the house are exactly as they were originally
built. The solid interior beaded board wall that affords privacy to kitchen
and bath is original. All flooring is saltillo tile. Soft colors are used
throughout the house.
My
Little House offers our guests a beautiful king-sized bed dressed with neutral
luxurious European 100% cotton fine linens, down pillows/seasonal comforter,
and beautifully accented with throw pillows. With a solid wood antique canopy
over the head of the bed, it is cozy, comfortable and romantic. The matching
antique mirrored dresser and armoire for clothing fit so nicely that one
could believe they were original to the house! With beautiful lamps bedside
for late night reading, the area is complete.
The
living room is also the entry of the guesthouse. It has a beautiful sofa
for napping or viewing the TV (which is on antique table with casters so
that it may be turned for watching TV in bed). With the two side tables
with lamps and a footstool, this is a comfortable area to relax or watch
a film in the VCR.
The dining room with its table for four is flooded with natural early morning light. It is adjacent to the compact, full kitchen. The kitchen is fully equipped for light cooking including cooktop, small oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, all dishes, utensils etc.
From
the dining room, go through the antique nine-light beveled-glass door to
the screened porch. There the old comfortable iron table and chairs for
four invite guests to have breakfast in the sunlight or wine by moonlight.
The lovely teak chest, with steps box at the head of the hot tub holds the
fluffy towels for a dip. This may be the last and ultimate enjoyment and
relaxation before turning in for a good night ’s sleep.
