Opals Retreat - Pet Friendly

As I was looking to book an accommodation for Fredericksburg, I was most concerned about finding a pet friendly place as I always bring my dog when I travel. Some Air B&Bs that I’ve stayed at that claim to be pet friendly really weren’t which can be very upsetting. Opal’s Retreat is hands down the most pet friendly accommodation I’ve ever stayed at. The owner is a veterinarian and the retreat is adjacent to a vet clinic. If you are traveling with your pet and you want a good experience, I cannot recommend Opal’s Retreat enough. The accommodation is beautiful, artfully designed, clean and comfortable. The outdoor space is fantastic as well. The shuffleboard was such fun, and other board games were available and a beautiful record player with a amazing records from the 60s and 70s. I enjoyed my stay at Opal’s Retreat immensely and plan to stay again next time I visit Fredericksburg.

First, we had some last minute scheduling issues and the hists did everything to help us with the slight shifts of our dates. They didn’t have to help us, but they did amazingly! The house is nice, and the outdoor patio is awesome. They also supplied plenty of games (cornhole, shuffle board, and various board games like checkers and Taboo).

Now, be aware that if you are looking for the peace about views about being in the hill country - you will not get it here. This house sits on Highway 16 which is busy all the time. We couldn’t enjoy the outdoor pall too as much as we hoped because of the constant noice from the highway and the other ligh pollution from businesses that are also right in the highway near the house. That was highly disappointing.

We had a small group of adults in for a friend's birthday for the weekend. This place is so nice and perfect in every way! From the comfortable sleeping arrangements, location (close to Main St), and outdoor activities. Even though it was freezing outside, we all still hung out there and enjoyed the beautiful area and grilled steaks. And the owner is so incredibly nice! We all will be back for sure!

Beds were comfortable and I loved the large dining table (seats 8 comfortably)! No dishwasher or cooktop (I should have read in description). It does share parking/traffic flow to a cattle vet and cows are outside in fenced area.

This was the perfect place for our ladies’ getaway. Convenient to Main Street & grocery shopping, well furnished, relaxing environment. We enjoyed sitting at the large dining table having coffee or snacks and chatting. Highly recommend if your group would like more time to visit with each other after visiting the hot spots.

By far one of my favorite places i have stayed at. Owner was super kind and if we had an issue, she was a text or call away. Would definitely stay here again.

We had a great stay and the owner was very accommodating. The porch was wonderful and a great place to sit and relax and everyone enjoyed the shuffleboard game.
The location is very close to town and the golf course as well.

We absolutely loved how big and open the retreat space was. The wife and I spent our Easter/birthday weekend here. Very clean and new all over. The outside patio is huge and is perfect to grill a steak and to just lounge around. The bed rooms are big and just so cozy. Looking forward to the next one!
