The space
The Dove House is a light-filled 1940s dollhouse-style retreat with two bedrooms, a full kitchen, indoor wood-burning fireplace, dining area, bathroom with shower/tub, and a spacious front living room with picture windows on all sides.

Outdoor spaces include a front porch, large yards, and a Chiminea fire pit area. The property sits on a quiet cul-de-sac and backs up to a large ranch, attracting abundant wildlife including Whitetail and Axis deer, birds, red fox, hawks, owls, and more.

Built in 1946 across from St. Mary’s Church in downtown Fredericksburg, the house once housed a family and visiting nuns. In the early 2000s, it was relocated to this private country acreage, blending vintage Fredericksburg charm with easy access to wineries, restaurants, local culture, and shopping.

Relax on the porch, enjoy nature, or use Wi-Fi to catch up on work or your favorite streaming show.

This space is generally fragrance-free, avoiding harsh chemical cleaners or scents except in rare emergencies.
