Carr Mansion

Beautiful and spacious! Beautiful spacious and inviting classic house! Our hostess was outstanding, very friendly and accommodating. The room we stayed in was “The Preacher” and it was outstanding. Very large, comfortable with an incredible bed and a 7 foot claw foot soaking tub. Breakfast was delicious! Belgian waffles with fresh fruit, juice and coffee.

Very sweet. Great cinnamon rolls, historical. Joelyn is very accomodating and made us feel welcome. We loved the personal touch. The porch balcony overlooking the garden was a delghtful interlude from the stress of urban living.

The best thing about Carr Mansion is the hostess. She is charming and accommodating. The house needs a deep cleaning and painting in some places though. The carriage house and backyard are not appealing, so stick to the main house. The breakfast was simple but good.

Had a fantastic stay! Will definitely make this a regular visit. The breakfast was phenomenal and the conversation and comraderie we built with Joey was more than we could have imagined.

This place doesn’t have the same style and class it did when it was featured in all the major publications on its website. Don’t be fooled. I think something must have happened to the stylish people who owned it back then and now it’s been bought by people trying to keep it alive. Gardens and interiors are not kept up. It’s like going to grandmas house when grandma can’t afford a gardener or a good housekeeper and she’s had to sell all the good furniture to stay afloat.

The lady that runs the property is very sweet, but the property has SEVERELY declined from the website photos. It’s a safe place to spend the night, but it’s days of CONDE NASTE and TEXAS MONTHLY features are long over.
