Fred and Gloria where the best .Very kind and good people.There was 8 adults 3 small (under 3) children and 1 dog staying 2 nights in this magnificent home.And we felt like we where home.The rooms where very clean and absolutely beautiful as was the whole home.The beds where absolutely the most comfortable beds I have ever sleep in , you just sink into them.The great thing was that it was so close to the shopping and main street that you just leave your car at the home and walk wherever you want.OH the breakfast was great.This is a TRUE bed and breakfast.Where do you go that you get to go to the kitchen and have a real breakfast waiting for you ? I'm already planning my girls weekend out with freinds and it will have to be planned around a weekend when I can stay here.Fred and Gloria TWO THUMBS UP .Thanks The Zumwalt family.

We found Das Keidel Inn to be perfect for bringing together several generations of our family for a spring break vacation. The assortment of rooms and suites gave us flexibility to house assorted family groups while everyone had some privacy. We took over the entire property and so were able to use the kitchen to make our breakfasts and an occasional dinner -- which might have been a mistake as we read the guest book comments begging for the recipes for dishes that Gloria and Fred typically provided for breakfast.

The house is large and comfortable. The kitchen is large enough for several people to work at once while visiting with others in the adjoining sitting area watching TV. The dining room is elegant, as is the lovely den, and the family had lots of room to spread out for conversations inside or out on the patio by the fountain.

The rooms are beautifully decorated, you can see the confident decorating skills of the Sotos in every room. Also important, it is well stocked, so little things like scissors or tape are on hand, so you don't have to run to the store for incidentals should you need something.

The Inn is located on Main Street near the end of the main shopping areas so all the Main Street shops and restaurants are within walking distance but there are few pedestrians in that block. The hustle and bustle of Main Street fades quickly after dark and so we were not disturbed by traffic sounds in the evening. Only my sister staying in the GaustHouse heard the early morning rooster. (We thought it was her imagination until my mom ran into the rooster inside one of the nearby shops.)

Fredericksburg itself if well located for exploring the Hill Country. We hiked and picniced at Pedernalles Falls and at Enchanted Rock, each are worth a full day. We visited the Cave Without A Name -- which was one of the best caves with narration we have ever toured. We spent a day in San Antonio and a day just walking Main Street in town. Several afternoons were spent visiting area wineries. We had a wonderful meal at the Hill Top Cafe one evening, and enjoyed a few other local restaurants in town and in neighboring towns.

Unfortunately, March is too early for the Wildseed Wildflower Farm ,or fresh peaches, or the Trade Days so we will have to plan another visit later in the year. When we do, we will stay here again.

We found out about this place when the Fredricksburg Chamber of Commerce recommended it to us as we frantically made last-minute trip plans for Labor Day. We were amazed that we were able to get on their website, contact Fred, and procure a room at such a nice place so easily. We had a laidback two night stay and appreciated the warm and friendly but not overbearing care we got from Fred and Gloria. Located right on the main street, we found it still quiet enough to feel like we were getting away but conveniently placed for getting out to wander the town. The breakfast was excellent and the accommodations well done. The living room was a tad cluttered but I think our hosts were working on it at the time, so on the whole, no problems here and a wonderful experience.

We booked our reservation directly on their website. Got a confirmation by email along with information and a map to the property. Everything was in order. Fred and Gloria Soto are very personable hosts. We enjoyed our entire stay. We plan on doing this again very soon and we WILL stay at your property.
Breakfast was VERY good.
Thank you,
Dan and Linda
