Love the decor and location

Howard was a wonderful host. The decor is wonderfully done. It is very quaint and lovely. It’s is in walking distance to the town square even though we took the car. It’s in a nice neighborhood. I will definitely stay again.

Beautiful hotel, can't wait to come back!

Amazing experience! We stayed in the cottage, and it was just beautiful. The bed is comfortable, and the cottage is very quiet. They have a Keurig with assorted coffee and tea (regular and decaf). I look forward to staying here again!

Wonderful old house!

Wonderful host, great old house to explore, like a museum with a Brit twist! Great wrap around porch. Teacups, plentiful tea and coffee in room. Our suite was like an antique store, so many items to appreciate. Very clean accommodations. Short, easy walk to downtown Waxahachie, great breakfast places. Sweet town.
