Ainsley House | 1 Block to Main

Located only one block from shopping, the “Ainsley House” is surrounded by an old iron fence with a gate that leads guests to the fairy tale beauty of gardens, elegance and comfort. Built by Don Nagel, your host, this beautiful home has been lovingly created into a perfect getaway for two.

The porch has comfy chairs offering a mesmerizing view of a bubbling fountain, lovely gardens, trees and vines. Inside the living/dining area has both refinement and creature comforts, making it inviting. Serene colors borrowing from earth's hues bring calmness and tranquility to this special home. The loveseat and chair are arranged to watch television and enjoy the crackle of the fireplace. Neutral fabrics compliment the hardwood floors. An awesome marble mantle is framed by antique wood accented with rosettes and a mirror. Warmth emanates from the tablecloth and settings of the table for two, which is placed to enjoy the television and fireplace as well as the gardens and water fountain.

The queen bed in the bedroom is a magnificent four-poster bed creating a soft, romantic feel. Stained glass windows can be opened to enjoy our crisp, cool Fredericksburg mornings. Attached to the bedroom, the bath is the picture of distinction. The tiled floors, stained glass light, pedestal sink and a clawfoot tub and shower accented with gold fixtures originate a bath of eminence. Enjoy the kitchen with it's display of antique collectibles.

Needs cleaning up
The house is in an excellent location!! It could use some cleaning up of the front yard and porch. The toilet would have run constantly if I didn’t open it up and close the float every time we flushed it. Instructions on the tv would help too!! Overall it was really good.

Our Second Visit
This was our second stay here. The location is wonderful, however the home has really gone down hill in terms of maintenance. When we arrived, the key was not under the mat and we were left sitting on the porch. The owner happened to be on site and was very kind and found a key for us. The home was really in need of many repairs and was not clean. Sadly, I would not stay here again.

Great location!
This is our third time to stay at the Ainsley House and the location is fantastic. Over the years and multiple stays, the house has become slightly run down and needs some TLC. Overall the bed is clean and comfortable and everything downtown is easily walkable which is why we would stay here again.

Cute place, not ready 😕
I hate to give a “poor” review…the place is adorable and perfect location to walk to everything! The less than 5 stars is due to the fact that there was no key when we showed up in the evening, we had to call and wait, then a kind older gentleman and his faithful kitty showed up to tell us it would be an hour or so to clean. It threw off our plans for the one night we had away, but we made the most of it! The house is warm and cozy, bed is comfy, fireplace is a perfect touch! I enjoyed it, but think they could have done something to compensate for the lateness of availability.

Amazing
Short walk from down town, and the hosts even left a firelog each night to use in the working fireplace. The stained glass windows and latches made us feel like we were in a historial home, while being right next to coffee shops, great restaurants and main street. 10/10.

Great Location
You must like houses with Character to stay here. Older home in a great location. Has everything you need and is walking distance to everything you want to do. Just a few doors from the historic jail house I am sure if houses could tallk it would tell you some stories.

Our Stay at the Ainsley House
The property is very run down, the yard is very overgrown, and needs a lot of maintenance. (Does not look like the picture on Vrbo) The inside of the house was fairly clean, but needs some updating. The bed, sheets, and pillows were terrible all old and did not smell nice. The coffee that was provided was old, as was the water in the fridge. The bathtub served as the shower which is fine but there was not safety mat in it and therefore it was very slippery.

Great stay
We were looking for a low-key place to stay with a lot of conveniences. The Ainsley House was perfect. The older rustic architecture reminded of both of us of being in Grandma's when we were kids and here we are as grandparents 🤯 The process was easy The property was perfectly located and we really enjoyed the house. We spent the majority of our time shopping visiting wineries and then settling in to a bottle of wine and a fire. I cannot have asked for a better weekend away from the chaos.

This place was very dirty. Cockroaches and spiders inside. Sheets looked dirty, shower head was rusted and scum all over it. Fans didn’t work and it was hot. Very creepy on the inside. Left and got a hotel instead and was refunded for entire stay even though we didn’t stay a single night. Would not recommend to anyone.
