Summary:
Welcome to the Sonora Casita, where the name truly captures the essence of a "Pleasant Sound." As you step inside this unique retreat, built from hay bales and stucco, you’ll experience a sense of tranquility that goes beyond sound and sight—you’ll feel it.
The Space:
This private Southwestern-style casita invites you to unwind in its combined bedroom and sitting area, thoughtfully designed to help you disconnect and relax. Adorned with charming décor, the casita boasts modern comforts including a fully equipped kitchen, an elegant walk-in shower, a soothing hot tub, and a luxurious king-size bed.
Surrounded by serene southwest-inspired landscaping, the Sonora Casita offers off-street parking and all the amenities of a contemporary escape, set in a quiet, countryside atmosphere. Just a short stroll from the vibrant Main Street of historic Fredericksburg, you’ll have easy access to renowned restaurants, wine tasting rooms, art galleries, shops, and more. Immerse yourself in Fredericksburg’s flourishing scene, where gourmet dining, world-class wineries, and high-end boutiques await to make your stay truly memorable.
The Sonora Casita is part of The Willows, a distinctive property that can be rented as individual units or as a whole. The Willows is perfect for family reunions, corporate retreats, or weekend getaways with friends.
Guest Access:
✅ This property has special local compliance requirements which include a signed rental agreement, ID verification, and a security hold of $1000 (which is not a traditional security deposit, just a pending transaction). As an optional alternative to the security hold, you may opt in to purchase a non-refundable damage waiver provided by a third-party insurance company. The optional damage waiver is $53 for stays up to 10 nights, with an additional $1.5 per day for stays longer than 10 nights. Damage waiver purchases are optional.
To make this process easy for you, we use a secure and very simple, app-free platform. It is not an app, and you do not have to sign up for an account - it’s a safe and secure website. It also gives you a guest portal with all the info about the home and all of my favorite local spots.
