We wish you, your family and your guests a Happy Thanksgiving! As we reflect on what makes our community so special, we are thankful for our members, our guests, and the support we have received throughout the year for Fredericksburg vacation rentals.
Fredericksburg TX Short-Term Rental Alliance to Join the Rent Responsibly Network
We’re excited to announce we are becoming a part of the Rent Responsibly Network, and with that comes a brand new member portal!
As a member of the Rent Responsibly Network, the Fredericksburg Short-Term Rental Alliance (STRA) will now be offering paid members new exclusive benefits. Members will be able to connect 1:1 with other alliance members and access special hosting resources, articles, on-demand webinars, and other educational offerings in one easy-to-access location.
Being a part of the Rent Responsibly Network will also allow the Fredericksburg STRA to connect with alliances across the country and a suite of national benefits just for groups like ours.
The official launch of the new Fredericksburg STRA member portal will open on Nov. 27, so keep an eye out in your email for your official invite. And if you’re not a member, now is the time to join to ensure you don’t miss out on important updates, new exclusive benefits, and so much more!

Holiday Hosting Essentials:
Safety First
As you prepare to host families this holiday season, making sure your home is up to standard when it comes to safety is a top priority. Checking trip hazards, ensuring you have working fire extinguishers in the proper locations for cooking those family dinners, as well as installing outdoor lighting can make a difference.
