Frommer's Recommended

Near the Stockyards, but secluded on a couple of acres of oaks, magnolias, and azaleas, this 1948 plantation-style home is a peaceful place that invites relaxation: It has a gazebo and wooden yard swing, a fireplace in the parlor, crystal and china, and a Victorian dining room. There are two upstairs rooms and two cottages, all with comfortable beds. The Lily of the Valley Room has a whirlpool tub, king-size poster-bed, and veranda; the Bluebonnet Bungalow is a cottage with a cow-town theme; and the Rose of Sharon room has a king-size canopy bed, marble-floored bathroom, and opens onto a veranda. The Magnolia cottage features a private parlor and giant Jacuzzi. Some guests might find the furnishings and decor to be a bit frilly for their tastes, though others will eat it up. Early-morning coffee and a "hearty plantation" breakfast will start you out on the right foot.
