“Strong Soot Smell Forced Early Checkout -No Refund”
+We won’t be staying there again. We received an invoice from property mgmt (PM) that was much higher than it was supposed to be. Then, the check in instructions stated no pets were allowed despite what Hotels.com & Settlers Xing showed. I immediately email PM to get clarification so I could determine if I needed to cancel, but got no response. The next day, I call the # listed on the invoice & receive a canned text stating they could not talk. I reply asking for a call, but don't hear back for another 24 hrs. PM then states invoice they sent was incorrect & pets are allowed, so we continue with our reservation. We arrive at the charming cabin but there’s a strong soot smell. We try to air it out, but with rain & mosquitoes, are forced to close the doors (windows don't open). We try to relax for the evening but the smell/air gives us a headache & makes us cough. The following morning I reply to the welcome email, which ironically asks us reach out if we needed anything, and ask for assistance with the soot smell because it was making us sick. We gave them all day to respond but they never did. Rather than enduring another night with the toxic smell/air & potential health consequence
+Absolutely loved this place, very homey and comfortable.

“Transport to another world, transform to new person.”
+Being from Brooklyn, NY, my family hasn't been around many animals. Best we can muster is a squirrel, occasionally a racoon, a special treat is sighting a possum. Interacting with a flock of sheep and a donkey and daily sighting white tail deer is a whole new level. We stayed in the Pioneer House for 5 nights and our lives were changed. The kids ages 13,15,17, put down their phones so they could interact with the animals, even if just to wander the fields and follow them to see what they do. My wife and I had some of the best sleep ever in the total silence. no sirens or helicopters, just occasionally the wind blowing. The house's walls of thick timber and stone and the layout even made it silent in the master bedroom even from the kids in the other two rooms. Personally the only landscape I have ever seen more beautiful than Texas Hill country is Yosemite and that says a lot. The driving experience on the Texas farm/rural roads IS better than driving Yosemite. I miss it already and would return in a heartbeat without hesitation. Main Street Fredericksburg is at most a 10 minute easy drive away, with authentic German dining, The MUST SEE War of the Pacific Museum, great BBQ, and sh
+We felt so lucky to be able to stay in such an incredibly maintained historical property! The entire vibe was impeccable!

+Settler’s Crossing is unique and charming, but we weren’t happy with the cleanliness of the Baag Farmhouse. The pictures online didn’t match what the inside really looks like. Also, Settler’s Crossing doesn’t have the coffee and pastries that I read about in the reviews. We had to purchase cleaning products to make the house livable for our stay. We have stayed in much better accommodations in Fredericksburg.

“One of a kind experience”
+We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Settlers Crossing. We booked the Von Heinrich house and were delighted to have such spacious, cozy lodgings - blissfully quiet, yet close enough to town. Rustic meets elegant, rural yet convenient. We did not have any issues navigating the narrow stairs to the second floor bedrooms, but less mobile guests should consider booking one of the units that’s on a single level.

+You don’t get to stay at old houses nowadays, and , it’s unique experience for our family as we always opt for new things but I appreciate the stay and the effort of the owner to give that old world experience and the restoration! I say wow, they stay true to the period with modern amenities and convenience of course, definitely recommend to experience.

+Upon arrival we found that the hot water faucet on the tub/shower was missing. I called the owner who asked me if I could fix it! (I’m a 72-year-old female & definitely not a plumber). His maintenance guy came & broke it more, with water gushing everywhere. Had to shut off water. We were told that we could move to another property across the way, so we packed up and drove over. Problem was that the bedrooms were upstairs via a narrow winding staircase. The only bathroom was downstairs. My husband has neuropathy, so this was not easy for him or me to transfer luggage upstairs and back down. The next day the owner called to say we could move back to the first house, which made us much happier. We have been patrons of Settlers Crossing for over 10 years and always looked forward to the breakfast rolls, milk & OJ which was provided by the former owners. The new owner stopped that cordial practice due to “too much waste”. Maybe he should try other ways to cut corners. Overall,this was a very disappointing experience and we will not be returning.
