Frommer's Highly Recommended

A big, handsome, and yes, white house with a wraparound porch and backyard with gazebo, this elegant, immaculate country home is a fine place to kick up your boots. In the Medical District, near All Saints Episcopal Hospital, the house has hardwood floors, a spacious parlor, a living room with fireplace, formal dining room, and well-maintained, warm accommodations with plush beds. There's no Lincoln Bedroom, but The Lone Star Room has nice antiques like a triple armoire, and a parson's bench sitting area and claw-foot tub. The Land of Contrast Room is done in black and white and has a large bathroom and king-size bed; it may be a little frilly for some cowboys. And the Tejas Room has light oak furniture, his-and-hers rocking chairs, and a large platform tub. The Mustang and Longhorn suites have special amenities such as a balcony porch and fireplace (the Mustang even has a two-person, in-room sauna). The friendly owners serve a full gourmet breakfast and are happy to dispense all sorts of dining and activities recommendations.
