Eli's is a one bedroom suite which was added to the original historic structure by a family of preservationists. The original windmill and cypress water tank grace the private limestone terrace. Inside, architectural artifacts from around the world work to create a haven from the ordinary. The cast iron mantle from a Philadelphia mansion, antique carved wood sculpture bed frame and antler chandelier all grace the natural integrity of the limestone wall.

FANTASTIC and close to Main Street shopping, dining, and drinks.

The accommodations were just as expected and needed! Eli's place is where we stayed and the decor plus fireplace was a delight! Breakfast/lunch coupons were an added perk too! My wife and I loved it and will definitely return!

Eli's cabin

What a great place to stay. Furnished firewood, comfortable bed, very secluded just a few minutes away from the shopping district, and coupons to save at several food establishments. The staff was so friendly upon picking up and dropping off the keys. It was just a great experience.

The Best Home away from home!

We go to Fredericksburg 2-4 times a year and we stay at the Austin St retreat each and every time! It is by far the best place in town! Eli's is our favorite of the group, but there isn't a bad one at the retreat. The whirlpool tub is amazing and the whole location is just terrific!

Eli

Eli's bed was comfortable. We felt the rental company should explain that the bath is very difficult to get in and out of. We are pretty agile and we had difficulty. Additionally, the jacuzzi bath did not seem clean especially the jets.

Wonderful place to stay!

We love Austin St Retreat. It's quiet, beautiful, and well cared for. We enjoy the tall beds ( and step stools)! It's great to be close enough to walk anywhere we want to go in town. Have stayed here before and will again!

Great Stay

The property was great and cozy, we had everything we needed plus the location was secluded and quiet, yet very short to downtown locations. We will visit this specific property again.

A Much-Needed Getaway

Eli's was just beautiful, and so peaceful. Even though there were others staying nearby, it felt secluded, private, and relaxing - exactly what was needed! Only wish we could have stayed longer.

Cabin was nice but needs a deep cleaning outside requires some ground keeping and a little bit more security lights.

Nice little place

We had an enjoyable weekend here. The location was great, and the room comfortable. The only issues we had were the VERY tall bed (no steps to help you get up on it), no front porch light (it was there, but never found the switch), and the mess around the patio and courtyard (squirrels having a heyday with green pecans, everything covered with shells).Overall, a nice place.

Charming Retreat

This was our second stay at Austin Street Retreat. We stayed in Eli's place and it was charming and cozy. It was a beautiful weekend with warm days and cool nights. My husband made a great little fire in the fireplace and we relaxed on the patio in the mornings. Very comfortable and easy to walk from down town main street area which we did all weekend long.

2 nights at Austin Street Retreat (Eli's)

My husband and I stayed in Eli's place for a weekend getaway. It was a quaint, cozy place and we enjoyed our stay; other than the fact that the mattress was so lumpy and uncomfortable that we didn't sleep well at all. For the price per night that we paid, I expected better sleeping accommodations.
