There are over two dozen such establishments in Fredericksburg. Each of them caters to a different niche. Weddings, corporate seminars and academic symposia are popular examples of events that are frequently booked in the area. However, places around this popular vacation spot can also offer a short travel distance to the city, so visitors can enjoy the city's attractions as well as neighboring areas' peace, quiet and lack of congestion.
Because it was founded by predominantly German immigrants, there is a distinct look and feel to the whole city and their places of lodging. Many of the buildings in the city are private homes converted to do business. This gives an intimate ambiance, although it also means that bed and breakfast places' guest capacities are not very large. In Fredericksburg, lodging places usually only have a maximum capacity of three to five rooms, with rates from $99 to $225 depending on the chosen room. Travelers are often advised to book ahead of time as many of these venues cannot accommodate sudden arrivals of guests. In this case, travelers may be better suited by finding lodging in places close to, and not in, the city itself
There are a good number of quality bed and breakfast options outside of the city proper of Fredericksburg. Lodging in nearby towns or cities such as Llano can compare favorably, with natural features such as a nearby river to add distinction to the establishment, or such creature comforts like free parking or wireless Internet access to satisfy vacationing city dwellers.
The Walden Plantation is a 17-acre estate in nearby Llano City, 38 miles north of Fredericksburg. Lodging is ample and comfortable with their 16 rooms made available for guests. Their amenities include a swimming pool, hot tub and a unique amphitheater for events. For inquiries and reservations, log on to http://www.waldenplantation.com or call 1-888-925-3360.
