This was the first time for our "girls" trip. We couldn't have found a more wonderful place to stay. The breakfast's by Claude, with Lisa's help, were incredible and something to look forward to each morning. The house is historic with beauty and charm. The owners have thought of everything to make a guests' stay perfect and just like they had the amenities of home. Our BlueBonnett suite was perfect and we had the freedom to move around the main house as we wanted, to sit and talk, play games, sit outside or pick up a sweet goodie around 3 pm. We loved everything about our time at the Magnolia House and Fredericksburg. Lisa and Claude are knowledgeable about the area and are the perfect host and hostess. Thank you!!!

This was my 2nd visit (stayed with a friend last fall) to Magnolia and the 1st for my husband - everything was wonderful and as I expected my husband loved it too! Claude & Lisa run a first-rate B&B - you can depend on it! The gourmet breakfast was superb - fresh juice, homemade scones, scrambled egg casserole, german sausage & blueberry pancakes! The sitting areas and our room were perfectly clean and organized with wonderful little touches which we appreciated: freshly baked cookies at arrival, wines, teas, cider, sodas & water always available, flashlights near the bed, cabinet stocked with necessities in case we forgot something. If you're not a fan of claw-foot tubs, rest assured they have done a terrifice job with the shower attachment - the best I've seen! At breakfast, we were impressed but not surprised that several of the others had been coming to the Magnolia for years - one couple has come twice a year for 9 years! P.S. Don't miss a visit to Wildseed Farms just outside of town & Rather Sweet Bakery on the main street! We enjoyed dinner at the Cabernet Grill too.

The Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast was one of the best I have ever stayed and. My husband I always try to stay at a bed and breakfast when we travel and this one was GREAT. The food was wonderful and there was more than enough to fill you up and all home cooking. There were always mid afternoon homemade baked goods for a snack and there were always drinks of all kinds any time you wanted. My husband and I enjoyed borrowing a movie from their collection and relaxing on our room in the evening watching a movie. The owners were very knowledgeable about the town and things to see and do. It was very clean and very much like home you are made to feel VERY WELCOME. I would recomend this to anyone traveling to Fredericksburg.

Our stay at Magnolia House was a surprise birthday present for me. We had never stayed at a B&B before and did not know what to expect. WOW!! The home and the grounds are in excellent condition. Claude and Lisa are wonderful hosts. We had one of the suites and it felt almost like home with a private entrance and private bathroom. Claude and Lisa had beverages & snacks available at all times. There were cookies as an afternoon/evening treat. The breakfasts were very good. The one drawback with Magnolia House being our first experience with a B&B is we are now so spoiled I don't know how many others can meet our expectations. We were spoiled rotten.

We enjoyed The Magnolia House Bed and Breakfast from the time Lisa opened the front door to greet us, till we gave both her and Claude a big Texas hug good-bye, when we left 3 days later. They are the most gracious host you will ever meet, they add so many extra amenities to make your stay "Special." Claude's delicious gourmet breakfast is different and incredible every morning! The B & B is beautiful and sooooo clean. It was a pleasure to stay at the Magnolia B & B and we are looking forward to a return visit in the near future! Roger and Yvonda

Claude Saunders did an amazing job with gourmet 2-course breakfast served on different china each morning of our stay. The antiques in each room are complimented by modern amenities and luxurious linens. Don't miss the small dishes of chocolate in every room or the home made snacks every afternoon.

This was our first experience at a bed and breakfast so we were not sure what to expect. What we got was a wonderful experience which has turned us on to B&B's versus the mainstream hotel/motel route. We were put to ease from the moment we walked in the door. We were greeted with warmth and given a tour of the facilities which were much nicer than we ever would have imagined. The facilities were top notch from the bedrooms, to the common areas both inside (full of snacks, reading and movie materials) and outside (wonderful garden area complete with coy pond and outdoor fireplace). The Bedrooms we stayed in had a separate living room and bathroom areas and were decorated beautifully. We had a full suite of bathroom items all ready in the room in case we had forgotten anything. The Breakfast Service was included as was phenomenal as each morning we were greeted with new and exciting meals which were absolutely wonderful. Claude and Lisa (The Owners) were extremely helpful long before we got there as they made the reservation process smooth and got us all of our dinner reservations throughout our stay well ahead of time, thanks to them listing all of the dining options on their website. Fredericksburg is a quiet little getaway in wine country in which you can take a wine tour to any of the 20 local wineries, or just enjoy the multitude of shopping available in all the shops around town, we did both! The B&B is located just off the Main street and is very close to everything you need to enjoy your weekend getaway, if you can pull yourself away from the amenities the B&B's offers!

My husband and I planned to sleep in while we were there, but once we tasted breakfast, we were at the table each morning! We stayed in the Bluebonnet Suite, which was a lovely, comfortable, and roomy place to call our home away from home.

Even though it was not Spring yet, the outdoor area was very attractive and enjoyable as we sat and had a drink by the waterfall with gold fish swimming in it and rocked in the double seated rod iron swings. In our room, the windows were open because it was a beautiful day and I love having the fresh air sweep through the beautiful room. Every evening, a fresh batch of homemade cookies were made for the guest and you could enjoy a glass of wine as well.

My husband and I had never been to a Bed & Breakfast and this far surpassed any of our expectations. It was such a warm and cozy establishment. We enjoyed the hospitality. We stayed in the Bluebonnet suite which had a living room, large bathroom, kitchenette and bedroom. The suite and house was uniquely decorated for the holidays. We felt right at home. The 2 course breakfast was wonderful! We enjoyed sitting out on the patio overlooking the coy pond while drinking some red wine. I highly recommended this B&B.

Claude is a master in the kitchen and his creations are just wonderful. We only needed that meal and dinner. They recommended restaurants for each night and those also were excellent. They obviously have all the secrets of what it takes to make a visit to their "home" extremely special. Nothing is missing!!!

We stayed in the Bluebonnet room that has a private entrance as well as a small kitchenette that was stocked with a fridge full of drinks and a coffee pot with coffee, tea or hot chocolate. There was also a separate living area from the bedroom that allowed my early rising husband to watch the news while I got a few extra minutes of beauty rest. Claude and Lisa Saunders were perfect hosts. They were very knowledgeable about the local points of interest and while being very friendly, they were not intrusive.

You are made to feel at home from the moment you step inside. Everything was spotless. The property has a garden and koi pond where guests can relax as if they were in their own backyard. Snacks, refreshments, and wine were complimentary in the afternoons and evenings. In the morning with the other guests we had the most delightful 2 course breakfast prepared by the owner himself. Fresh pinnapple with blackberries and pasteries for the 1st course, and the most delicious fresh strawberry country-style pancakes with a poached eggs and ham for the 2nd course. i highly recommend this gem in Fredericksburg, TX.

Magnolia House sets the standard for an authentic Bed and Breakfast. The rooms and furniture were comfortable and provided a great place to share time with old friends. The gormet breakfasts and evening treats were tasty and served with simple elegance. And of course, Fredericksburg, TX is a great tourist town! We could have spent many more days exploring its shops and eateries.

My husband and I decided to do a last minute getaway. We looked at the Fredericksburg Chamber of Commerce website and found Magnolia House and called the B&B directly. Our hosts, Lisa & Claude, were very gracious. The attention they give to details to make this feel like a home-away-from-home was the best we have experienced ever at any B&B. The breakfast was so delicious that I had to buy their cookbook. We would definitely recommend Magnolia House to friends and family and we hope we have the opportunity to return.

My husband and I stayed at the Magnolia House in Dec. and I highly recommend this B&B to anyone wanting to stay in the Fredericksburg TX area. We stayed in the Bluebonnet Suite, which was wonderful, but we were also able to tour most of the other rooms. Claude and Lisa Saunders are truly inkeepers extraordinaire. The attention to detail in each and every room is incredible. While we were there the Inn was decorated for the holidays, and even the bathrooms had holiday decor! Our room was totally charming, cozy, warm and extremely comfortable. The breakfast was absolutely incredible. No continental breakfast here, but the kind of breakfast that would be served in a fine restaurant. The homemade coffee cake, served warm, was to die for, as were the fresh fruit and the eggs. After two bites we knew we wanted to buy the Magnolia House cookbook, and have already made a few of the recipes at home. If you want a bed and breakfast in Fredericksburg TX, the Magnolia House is THE place to stay. You won't be disappointed by the lodging, and you will love the wonderful hospitality supplied by its hosts, Claude and Lisa Saunders. Five stars!!

My wife and I have stayed at the Magnolia House several times over the past ten years and we have never been disappointed. The owners are gracious hosts and the atmosphere is wonderful. This is the first time we stayed in the Bluebonnet Suite and it is now our favorite suite. Large, spacious and definitely worth the price (which is already reasonable). We will be back year after year.

Once again we have been pampered and given a weekend of total relaxation. Claude and Lisa have one of the most wonderful places to stay in all of Fredericksburg. The gourmet breakfast continues to be the perfect way to start your day and sitting by the pond sipping wine and sampling freshly baked treats makes the perfect ending of the day. All of our needs are aticipated and provided for at Magnolia House. We look forward to another stay here.

Our trip to Fredericksburg in early February, 2007 was so special and it was made complete by our stay at The Magnolia House. Claude and Lisa Saunders are perfect hosts and their lovely home is comfortable and tastefully decorated. We can't say enough about Claude's delicious gourmet breakfasts; the table setting, presentation and the expertly prepared breakfasts were fabulous. The American Beauty Room was beautifully decorated and met all of our needs. We have stayed in several B&B establishments and this ranks at the top.
