I ALMOST regret writing this review because I want to be able to get a cottage again the next time I visit Lockhart Gables Romantic B&B! But, it’s such a great place that I am willing to take my chances.
My favorite man surprised me by booking the “Beloved Cottage.” This was our second visit, the first visit we stayed in the “Sweetheart Cottage”. The Sweetheart was really nice but the “Beloved” was better. The bed was the most comfortable bed we ever slept in. The owners had just re-done the shower and made it into a rain fall shower with lots of space for 2. The heart –shaped whirlpool tub was nice but some of the jets weren’t properly working. A small glitch that really didn’t affect the overall stay.
The main house also has several rooms available and each is decorated with “love”. The common area has hosted many weddings and the rock fountain is breath taking with its greenery and goldfish.
Upon arrival, Marilyn took a picture of us and then gave us complimentary tickets to the “Big Band” concert that was performing that night at one of the local churches. David is an avid trumpet player and was performing in the group. The entertainment was really nice and we truly enjoyed it. Returning to Lockhart, Marilyn served us coffee and chocolate covered strawberries on the patio. The weather couldn’t have been more perfect. In the morning, David arrived with a very large breakfast that consisted of ham & cheese omelets, fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee and their famous “heart shaped” cinnamon roll. What a wonderful way to wake up.
Lockhart is in a safe, historic, residential section of the city. There are plenty of restaurants close to Lockhart and if you prefer to fix you own, Central Market is near by. If you are looking for a weekend of hitting bars and being loud, this is definitely not the place. However, if romance and privacy is your cup of tea, then make your reservations today at Lockhart Gables Romantic B&B. We will definitely be back again!

We deeply regret the unfortunate experience of this very nice couple. We realize it was a special occasion for them and are so sad we didn’t make it wonderful. We saw them leave for dinner and were hoping to fix their tub before they got back. We knocked on the door and when there was no reply, we opened the door only slightly when they said they were in there. We apologized and told them about the tub problem. We had recorded their desired breakfast time as 9:00 a.m. and they were thinking 8:00 a.m. We were about to deliver breakfast to them when they left. We did not charge the couple for the night and we also gave them a gift certificate for another free night. We try our best to make everything perfect, but came up short this time. Since then we have installed an inside security lock so that this incident cannot be repeated. Again, we are so sorry, and hope they give us another chance at no cost to them!!

We have just returned from a night of romance that will envy any couple that we know. Neither of us had ever stayed at a B&B before but heard good things about them. We definitely were not interested in a drab motel/hotel room and room service. I happened across Lockheart Gables on the Internet and after looking through the pictures, and amenities of the place, I decided this would be a “nice” getaway place. Nice is an understatement. The place is magnificent. The owners are the nicest, warmest, caring individuals. It was so lovely that it was hard for us not to wake every few hours just to drink in the peace and tranquility of our surroundings.
We stayed in the Sweetheart Cottage. Upon our arrival, the owners greeted us. Very open and friendly people. They even allowed us to view some of the other rooms in the main house. The décor of the place takes you back into the 1800’s and you feel like you are a million miles away from cell phones, computers and the rush of today’s living. As we got into our cottage, we found cookies with our names on them and fresh ice tea. The owner then showed us how to use the fireplace, Jacuzzi and the vibrating bed. Oh, did I mention that all the rooms have heart shaped Jacuzzi’s? True, every room. We walked the property and the peace and tranquility continued throughout our stay.
The room rate is very acceptable and the accommodations are above average. Very clean and well stocked for anyone’s needs including a small refrigerator, microwave, robes, and plenty of towels. Although the main house and carriage house that has been transformed into cottages, were built in the 1800”s, David and Marilyn Lewis have taken something old and made it into something awesome. I would plan to return again. As a matter of fact, we are hoping to go back during Christmas. If you want to mix a little old with a little new and need a little get away time, this is the place to go. You will not be disappointed.
