Janis

Welcome to Janis, Gladheart’s newest private guest home. Spacious and exquisite, Janis is perfect for two but can accommodate up to four people with ease. Perched on a quiet lot within Gladheart’s peaceful 13 acres, guests of Janis will enjoy a hot tub, firepit, and a stroll through the wilderness with glimpses of deer, jackrabbits, songbirds, and three friendly donkeys. Janis is also located just minutes away from the excitement of downtown Fredericksburg.

The living space of Janis is completely open and airy, with a vaulted ceiling and tons of natural sunlight streaming in. A velvety soft sofa is piled high with jewel-toned pillows and pulls out to reveal a full-size bed. The sofa also faces a flat-screen Roku TV— perfect for a romantic movie night or a lazy night in with your favorite TV show. Contemporary bookshelves separate the living area from the bedroom.

The L-shaped kitchen is completely open to the living area— perfect for conversation and socializing. Elegant gray cabinets support glossy granite countertops. Premier stainless steel appliances include a full-size refrigerator, electric range with vent hood, microwave, and dishwasher. The spacious island has gorgeous butcher block counters and bar stool seating for two and is illuminated by two exquisite pendant lights. A vibrant teal backsplash and open shelves add a perfect pop of color and style.

The bed sits nearby and is separated from the living area by unique open bookshelves. The bed is luxurious king-size memory foam— perfect for relaxing and recharging in the evenings. In the spa-inspired bathroom, a freestanding soaking tub and a separate glass-enclosed step-in shower are both indulgent spots to wash the day away.

Outside, the spacious gravel patio is surrounded by a privacy fence and includes two Adirondack chairs and a wine barrel fire pit. Grab a blanket and a bottle of locally sourced wine and cuddle by the fire in the evenings while a pastel sunset lights up the sky above you. For even deeper relaxation, immerse yourself in the swirling hot tub underneath a sky full of stars.

The Gladheart compound includes a super-fun clubhouse/game room with a pool table, ping pong table, card tables, darts, and a jukebox. Outside you’ll also have access to picnic tables, shuffleboard, and horseshoes. When you’re ready for an afternoon antiquing adventure or a night on the town at a local watering hole, the fun of Fredericksburg is a quick ten-minute drive away.

What People Are Saying

Janis was Amazing!

The Janis was amazing! We loved the area and it was so peaceful. We loved the hot tub and outdoor fire pit. The room decor was beautiful and I loved the tub. The host was very easy to get ahold of and very helpful with our needs. Can’t wait to stay again in one of the other houses! Location was also great, it was a short drive to Main Street.

Literally Everything You Could Want or Need!

Absolutely loved this stay! Property is literally everything you could want or need. Loved the yard and hot tub at the Janis House. Game room was literally around the corner and it had so much to choose from. Feeding sessions with the donkeys is a must! Had a question for Amer the first night and he responded quickly. We’ll be back for sure!

Definitely Staying Here Again!

We had a great stay at Gladheart. It was the perfect location for us - convenient to town, but just far enough out to be peaceful and secluded. The owner is very responsive and made sure we had everything we needed during our visit. Our house was well decorated and stocked. The grounds of the resort are beautiful, with little hiking trails and lots of activities to keep it fun. We will definitely stay here again!

Highly Recommend!

Great host and cottage! Being out on the "farm" makes you feel like you have space all to yourself, but you're 10 minutes or less from everything you want to do in Fredricksburg. Looking forward to our next visit. Highly recommend!
