Historic 1859 Woldert-Spence Manor
We are Tyler's oldest B&B, and the closest lodging facility to historic downtown Tyler. An 1859 Tyler Historic Landmark, the Manor is a restored Queen Anne Victorian home. The house is set back on a large corner lot surrounded by brick streets and many mature shade trees. There is a covered jacuzzi in the relaxing Rear Garden along with a koi pond, gazebo, wishing well, and large back deck. The main house has original oak and heart-of-pine wood floors, wood moulding, and gorgeous stained-glass windows.
All 8 rooms have private baths, some featuring claw-foot tubs. Additional features in some rooms include king or queen-size beds, fireplaces, private balconies or porches. Two of the rooms are private carriage houses for that home-away-from-home feeling. A delicious full country breakfast is served daily on china, crystal and silver in the formal dining room.
The Woldert-Spence Manor is perfect for honeymoons, anniversaries, birthdays, or any special occasion! Also ask about our whole house rate for family reunions, retreats or group getaways. And we are Tyler's newest wedding venue, perfect for small intimate weddings, vow renewals, or anniversary parties!
We are just minutes from many attractions including Tyler's Rose Garden, fine dining, antique stores, Tyler State Park, and more. There is something for everyone to enjoy while in Tyler! Visit our web site for a sampling of current area events to enjoy during your stay.

| Innkeeper Response |
Thank you for your comment about the puppies. They are a new addition to the neighborhood and we're just figuring out how they affect our guests. On the one hand, the puppies have settled down quite a bit since the first week they arrived (which I'm guessing might be when you stayed) and they don't tend to bark at night anymore. However, they are still puppies and bark some when they play, and will of course eventually be dogs, so we want to do everything we can to minimize the noise---that's part of having a B&B in a real neighborhood!
In any case, of our 7 rooms, the puppies really are only noticable in 3 rooms on that side of the house. Firstly, we have put noise machines in all of the rooms---we received an earlier comment that some background noise might help mask squeaking floors and other guests, for those that are very noise-sensitive. But we also want to eliminate the noise in the house, not just mask it. So
secondly, we are working on improving the sound-proofing in the affected rooms. Being an historic home, the windows aren't exactly designed for noise reduction--we're working to bring them up to snuff.
Polling our guests, some notice the puppies, some don't. But we want to make sure everyone enjoys their stay, so please continue to provide feedback on how we're doing.
