I discovered Belle Oaks Inn about 5 years ago when I traveled to Gonzales, TX for a "girls trip" with my mom and sister. I recently went back there with my boyfriend and still loved it. The owners, Richard & Clint, couldn't be nicer. You are so welcomed to this truly magnificiant plantation-style home. Their hospitality far exceeds anything I've ever experienced. We immediately felt like family. Unlike many B&B's that I've stayed in, you will never experience pressure or feel uncomfortable being in someone else's dwelling.
I actually had a deposit left on a room there from 3 years ago when I had to cancel my reservation, because I couldn't find a babysitter, and they still had the deposit on file and I was able to use it.
Belle Oaks Inn was built in 1912 and it's been transformed into a modern tribute to the Southern charm and grace of a bygone era. All of the guest rooms are very comfortable and exquisitely decorated with a mixture of fine antiques and furnishings. The extensive grounds have beautifully manicured lawns, gardens, swimming pool and reflecting pond - all nestled under massive Live Oak and Pecan trees!
At Belle Oaks Inn you'll also enjoy a generous gourmet breakfast in their elegant dining room or you can choose to take your breakfast back to your room. It's self-served so you can enjoy it at your leisure.
One of the highlights of our visit included a free driving tour offered by a local gentleman, completely set up by our gracious hosts!!! This was such a special treat. If you are a history buff, like we are, you will love this part as Gonzales is where Texas freedom was born! Gonzales is home of the "Come & Take it Cannon" and offers dozens of homes/churches of beautiful architecture. There's even an old jail!
Belle Oaks Inn offers charm, relaxation, comfort, peace and a HUGE porch to rock on while you watch the sun set. It's a great place for a romantic getaway, honeymoons, anniversaries or receptions
Rooms at Belle Oaks Inn are priced from $95 to $175 on the weekends. Its hard to pick a favorite room!
