As seen in the photo, there is a walk through window to a private balcony with wicker furniture to recline and overlook the front garden area. The entrance to the closet is an old style pocket door, which was common in houses of the era. The private bathroom includes a claw foot tub and shower, including a rare Bridge faucet dating back over 110 years.

For the utmost in privacy, the Carriage House offers a spacious L-shaped suite with covered porch located above the garden area. The king-sized bed and unique furniture, with exposed ceiling timbers and a two-person Jacuzzi hot tub in the corner makes this private suite especially popular for romantic getaways.

This cheerful cottage behind the main house and gardens is decorated with light colors and fish paintings. The cottage has 14-foot ceilings with a king-sized bed, with a loft sleeping area that is perfect for kids. When first built, the original purpose was as a summer kitchen separate from the house due to heat from cooking and for fire safety. The porch and private entrance opens to a sitting area with antique kitchen cabinet, a boat-shaped table, chairs, wicker chairs, love seat, refrigerator. and coffee maker. The large private bath has a distinctive bright red pedestal sink, a claw foot tub, and shower. Just outside the cottage is a private wine patio for reclining in the shade.

A family style breakfast is served in the large dining room, which is decorated with period antiques and includes original sliding wood doors. For our breakfast there were eight other guests, so "boarding house reach" was used in passing around all the delicious fixings. We met several interesting guests, including Texas ranchers, and a retired couple from Great Britain traveling with their son and wife, who live in central Texas.

A different breakfast meal is served daily at 9 a.m., with ours consisting of unlimited portions of fresh fruit, bacon, sausage, hash browns, banana nut bread, and biscuits.

The Inn has a well maintained garden area for guests to enjoy sitting out on a swing, or walking among the roses blooming in the front yard. The bricks that comprise the walkways were fired from brickmakers in the area. The Inn has a secure keyless entry system. There is no smoking indoors or pets.
