Bedrooms in the main house provide a variety of sitting-room and suite options, all beautifully furnished with family antiques. The Carriage House next door offers a large, cheery room with two queen beds or the cozy, wood-paneled Hideaway room, each with private bath and entrance. Breakfast is served on the large wrap-around porch, weather permitting. Gourmet coffees, raspberry smoothies, Dutch baby pancakes with fruit, sausage smoked on the premises and homemade breads round out the menu. A different breakfast is served each day.
Picnic baskets are available if requested in advance.
And the ranch continues to grow. Just weeks ago workers were busy completing renovations on a newly acquired 1825 log house. The two-story structure was originally built near Navasota and owned by an Alabama man who came to Texas in covered wagons to start a cotton farm. Disassembled and stacked in a barn for years, the house was meticulously restored on its current site in 1980. Guests can stay in any of its five large bedrooms, each of which has its own bath.
