Absolutely lovely
We loved our stay at Holle House, and our host Susan covered all the angles even having a window AC unit on hand when the main AC went out during a historic Texas heat wave. All the essentials were covered wonderfully and Susan went above and beyond to make sure the even the fridge and cupboards were stocked when we moved in. The location is also phenomenal if you are looking to stay away from city crowds like we were. There are nice things to do in the area and the central location makes all the major metros and the gulf accessible for weekend staycations.

A wonderful chilly, rainy, but cozy stay!
The home is not only historic, but beautiful and interesting. While our stay was a very chilly and wet one, we still had a great time. Susan goes above and beyond to make your stay great. It was so chilly and rainy that we just stayed in the home the first night and had the delicious quiche for dinner. She provides breakfast for both mornings and snacks. Plenty of towels and blankets for everyone.

Hospitality - Historic with modern comforts
The owner provides hospitality in spades. We arrived to a fully stocked kitchen, complete with enough breakfast meals to last throughout our stay. The fridge was stocked with new bottles of all condiments, juice, milk, cream, butter and the list goes on. There were fresh, clean, comfortable robes for each person. We were made to feel welcome and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Susan McGee

Host profile image
Having dreamed of operating a B&B all of my adult life, I took an early retirement and found Historic Holle House, a unique architectural gem in Brenham, Texas. I looked at hundreds of homes, but kept coming back to Holle House because it's charm called me to make it a beautiful and comfortable place for friends and families to visit, relax and make their own memories here.

Why they chose this property

The home was built 1910, in the Four Square American Movement style and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. It has a very unique Art Deco feel inside with original beamed ceilings, beautiful wood burning fireplace, built in book cases, and huge archway over entry. The home also sits on a large half acre lot, graced with Pecan trees, Magnolia, and Crepe Myrtles. It has a huge wrap around porch downstairs as well as a big covered porch that runs across the entire front of the home on the second floor. It is only five blocks to the downtown area, a nice walk or easy bike ride away. Downtown offers a variety of things to do and see, as well as several great places to eat. And nearby are some great country drives to see other historical sights such as Washington on the Brazos, Chappell Hill, Round Top and Festival Hill, plus many other unique little Texas towns with plenty to see and do.
