The property itself is quite far out in Fredericksburg, about a 25-30 minute drive to the nearest anything. The views are incredible from the property and the estate is very walkable. We stayed in “The Lodge”, it has this extremely ‘unique’ architecture that makes you raise an eyebrow or two…but also is interesting in comparison to any average hotel. The beds were average to any hotel bed, clean sheets, clean room. The only thing that caught our attention was how badly our bathroom in our room smelled. It smelt like cat urine extremely. This was recurrent in both of the rooms we were in. The property has cats roaming everywhere, so we just assumed the bathroom smell was from a property cat. The smell is definitely prominent and potent. I’m not sure how the caretakers of the property do not smell the bathrooms or why they are okay with putting guests into rooms with odor issues. Water went out at 10pm one night. We contacted the number on our welcome envelope and the owner was very polite and fixed the problem within 5 minutes. The staff and caretakers are very kind and helpful. The property is ginormous for how many people we saw taking care of it, so it’s understandable that a large majority of the estate desperately needs some upgrades and fixes. The included breakfast in the morning was decent. Overall, our experience at the Trios Estate was definitely different than what we were expecting but the views of the beautiful hill country overpowered any issues we encountered!
