Christmas Retreat
We decided to travel to Fredericksburg for Christmas this year instead of celebrating at home. We rented both sides of the Bijou. It was beautifully decorated for Christmas right down to having stockings hanging on the mantle. It was perfect in terms of size and comfort. A few things to note, however, for those looking at this property. There are two bedrooms upstairs at Charmaine. The stairs are extremely steep. Also there is no oven or cooktop on either side, so your only choice is to grill everything. Very convenient to Main Street and shopping.

This place was so adorable. My children thoughts it was amazing. Everything was just as pictured. We satyed for a wedding that was at a church down the street, so it was very convenient. And it was near town so that we could walk to different stores and restuarants. I would absolutely stay here again!!!!

Overall a disappointing stay
The hot tub never worked, and plus the water was murky. The tv worked half the time. It rained most of the time we were there, so there was not much to do other than watch tv. They never sent anyone to work on the hot tub. The first time they sent someone to work on the tv it took all day for the guy to show up. The second time the tv quit working, they sent the cleaning lady to fix it. One of the chairs squeaked constantly. The tile in the showers were scary slippery. The small charcoal grill in the backyard was rusting so bad that one of the legs snapped off as soon as we touched it. The hosts were snarky and rude. One of the hosts showed up at 1030 (checkout time was 11) the day of our checkout and was unhappy that we hadn’t left yet.

Learned a lot from our first booking.
This is a cute little setup for two couples traveling together, but still wanting separate space and privacy. Essentially, it is one well-decorated house with two divided living quarters with a shared outdoor area. Do not, however, be fooled by the prospect of four bedrooms. The extra two bedrooms are upstairs in an attic. To get to this space, one had to navigate the staircase. The steps are very narrow. And the whole staircase is extremely steep, definitely not kid-friendly. Once upstairs, be prepared to duck… getting out of bed and going to bathroom. Our favorite part of the house was the outside covered area and fire pit, great for visiting and playing games. Property line extends beyond the gathering area, but it was somewhat unkept with a few limbs down. Again, not great for kids running around. Lesson learned is to read the fine print and consider all the details.

Cozy, Kept & Quiet
Sweet living spaces. Family/Friends can gather around inside or outside to chat and/or eat in two different spaces. (There’s an additional quaint space for outdoor chats.) The front porch swings are nice for morning quiet-times. The counter space in the kitchen is quiet small, so prepared charcuterie boards, sandwiches, and finger foods work best here. Plenty of parking in a very quiet part of town. We will be back!

The Bijou house is wonderful. We had the whole house and it was perfect for our family. Fabulous location. The homes are decorated beautifully! Remember to take note this is no stove or oven. Just keep that in mind. We will be back!

Lovely home with great outdoor space
This is a beautiful historic home. The house is actually a home with two separate units, each with a nice front porch swing. We rented both sides (the entire house). Each side has a kitchenette area, with a tiny refrigerator and a table with chairs. There is no stove. There is also no washer or dryer on the property. (We had another house rented as well, so we were able to cook and do laundry at the other home.) The bedrooms all have king size beds and they are all quite comfortable. The bathrooms are all very nice as well. One unit has a large tub for soaking. Each unit has a TV mounted on the wall in the living room. The outdoor space is fantastic. There are 2 jacuzzies, a large patio with table and chairs for 8 and a fire pit with 6 chairs. We spent evenings playing games and relaxing in the outdoor space after retuning to the home. There is plenty of parking if you have a large group.
