When searching for a romantic stay in Fredericksburg, I was presented with many different houses, cabins, and hotels to stay at. While scrolling through all of the available options, one particular location made me do a double-take. The first photo I saw on Air BnB was a set of 4 cabins that were built to look like wine barrels. As I clicked through and saw the immense detail of the Wine Barrel Cabins and noticed how close it was to Main St, I was sold!

My Experience At The Wine Barrel Cabins
My experience at the Wine Barrel Cabins was nothing short of spectacular. My first stay was in Chardonnay and was a quick getaway for my girlfriend and I. Pulling up to the cabins set the tone that this was going to be a quiet and secluded stay, which was exactly what we were looking for.
A crushed granite pathway led us from the parking area to each of the Wine Barrel Cabins. The hosts are very professional and ensure you have your door code and entry instructions well ahead of check-in time. While I will admit, walking up to a giant wine barrel was a first for me, it was certainly a special experience.
Walking into Chardonnay, you are immediately enveloped with interior design cues, tones, and a general overall feel of what a white wine should feel like. The inside walls were stained with a natural color and the furniture was hand-picked to compliment the overall aesthetic of the cabin. We were greeted with a personalized note and two mini bottles of wine as a surprise, a subtle touch that showcased the host’s commitment to quality.
The first thing you will most likely notice about the cabins is the elegant shower with glass walls. This leaves the cabin feeling more open while giving you a one-of-a-kind showering experience that brings the whole cabin together. The back patio is also a great addition to sip your morning coffee or a nice glass of wine in the evening. Each wine barrel patio overlooks the small pasture between the cabins and the road at the front of the property. As someone who enjoys peace and quite on a patio, the Wine Barrel Cabins easily checked that box.
Being 5 minutes from Main St, the Wine Barrel Cabins allow you to easily get to and from the hustle and bustle of downtown. We opted to Uber one night and found that this was a very easy route for ride-share drivers.
Overall, the Wine Barrel Cabins is truly an amazing experience that really ties the whole Fredericksburg experience together. I have stayed in quite a few Air BnB’s in my day, and this one is at the top of my list, not only from a unique factor, but professionalism from the hosts. We can’t wait to stay here again!
