My husband and I stayed at the Murski Homestead for our 1 year anniversary and couldn't have had a better stay anywhere else!. It was very relaxing, refreshing and VERY comfortable. After staying here I dont think we ever want to use hotels again! Our room was excellent, VERY clean and comfortable. The food was great! The Murski's are very sweet and welcoming. We had a chance to visit with them and they are quite pleasant. They were great hosts. Our stay was one of a kind and we were able to have a wonderful anniversary. Thank you very much Pamela and Tom Murski!!! We would recommend this place to everyone we know and are looking forward to visiting again.

The innkeeper is gracious, warm and inviting, and did everything and more to make our stay personal and exactly what we wanted. The food is certainly "comfort food", but nothing like your mom used to make. The rooms are spacious and luxurious, and very clean. And most of all, you can't beat the view from the front porch in the morning and in the evening--we felt like we had truly escaped from the world for a day.

This was my first experience with a B&B. The 1890’s house is just minutes from the town of Brenham. As my husband and I turned onto the gravel road, we are surround by acres and acres of beautiful rolling hills with livestock feeding on the grounds. On top of a hill set the picture perfect home surrounded by a country fencing and two cats roaming the yard. The room was immaculate, fresh and full of charm. The common areas were excellent and comfortable. Wireless internet and satellite television where provided but never used. We found solitude in exploring the grounds and refreshing our minds with the beauty of the land from one of the porches. I didn’t think it was possible to actually experience such a renewed and relaxed body, mind and spirit. The innkeeper had a very people personality and truly cared about making our remarkable experience memorable. I am so glad we chose Murski Homestead for our first B&B experience, it certainly sets the standards extremely high on anything else coming close in comparison.

The night before our planned departure from our 12.289 acres near Blessing, TX, my wife and I figured we would not be able to leave early enough to drive back up to Plano the next day. So, we made a reservation at the Murski Homestead B&B. It was a good thing that we did because we did not get away until after 2 pm. The stay was delightful and let us have a real vacation from our vacation.

The Murski Homestead B&B in Brenham, Texas was a jewel of a find. Located at the top of a hill at the end of a gravel road and providing a panoramic view of the Texas hill country, everything about it deserves a 5 Star rating. Our Memorial Day weekend getaway could not have been any nicer. The room, the ambiance, the view, the serenity, the food, and the innkeeper all combined to give us the best B&B experience we have ever had. The cooking class, featuring only fresh homegrown ingredients, produced a dinner as festive as it was delicious and fun to prepare. Proprietor Pamela Murski’s meals were creative and as charming as the chef herself. We have no hesitation in recommending it as a must do for Texas travelers and are already working on plans for our next visit. Only one negative…, having to leave after a wonderful weekend that was entirely way too short.

Pamela and Tom are great host. We spent out 25th anniversary here. We loved the 1890's farm house and all the history that went with it. We truely enjoyed our stay.

Rooms are spacious and comfortable. The inn is peaceful and relaxing. Liked the option of having breakfast on my own time schedule instead of preset time like most B&Bs. My husband and I joined Pamela for the gourmet cooking weekend. We enjoyed cooking with her and the food was spectacular. We have stayed at nine different inns in Texas and this one is at the top of our list. The thing that sets this inn above others is the friendliness and congeniality of the innkeepers, Pamela and "Bookie". We felt like part of the family. We are already planning our next stay.

If you want a relaxing get away with the best host and hostess in Texas this is your place! Pamela is a gourmet cook and herbalist and the food was amazing. Pamela and Tom look after you like you are family and make sure all your needs are met. I absolutely can"t wait to go back for another gourmet weekend. She does cooking classes with you directly with fresh herbs out of her garden. This place is a little out of town so you are in the quiet and peaceful country. Don"t miss a chance to visit this place you would be glad you did!

We wanted a special place to celebrate our 24th wedding anniversary and could not have chosen a more perfect setting! The weather was cold and rainy, but our stay at the Murski B&B was warm and inviting. Tom is a wonderful host and Pam a superb hostess and chef. We highly recommend the cooking classes. Brenham has much to offer with its antique shops, wineries, rose emporium and Blue Belle ice cream! The country setting and serene sounds around the Murski farm were perfect for relaxing every evening and we have not slept so late in ages! Although all are nice, we recommend the Lavender Room--the whole atmosphere was just perfect!! And we will be returning. Thank you Tom and Pam for a beautiful 24th anniversary celebration....it could not have been better!!

My boyfriend and I wanted to get away from Houston for Valentines Day this year. We were looking for a bed and breakfast that would outside of any town/city so that we could get away from the hustle and bustle of Houston life. We found that Murski Homestead was the perfect place for this. Located outside of downtown Brenham is has the country feel to it but it is only a 10 minute drive from the shops that Brenham has to offer. The rooms were fantastic (they didn't have that cheesy wallpaper design that many B&Bs seem to favor) and the beds were so comfortable we almost asked the host for advice on where to buy pillows. Our host, Pamela, was such a charming woman. She offered great conversation, fantastic restaurant suggestions, and just an overall friendliness that you don't get much in the city. We absolutely loved our stay and can't wait to visit again!

After a long spring with no break since last year, my wife and I finally were able to get away for a 3 days over the Memorial Day weekend. We have stayed at the Murski B&B a number of times, but I believe this is the first time we have spent 3 nights. And, we really needed it. It is almost impossible to describe the warm hospitality which we felt while we stayed. The easy pace of the "country" life really helped us to unwind. And, we were entertained by two Carolina Wrens feeding their chicks in a nest on the front porch. Who could ask for anything more!

I was delighted with my stay at the Murski B & B. I went with a girlfriend for a getaway weekend and cooking class. The cooking class was great fun. Besides teaching us how to make a special dinner, Pamela had lots of good tips to use everyday. Since the class was small, Pamela was able to give individual attention (and in my case correction!) on kitchen skills. The B&B is very pretty both inside and out. It has a warm, homey feeling. It was tastefully decorated with unique furnishings without being overdone. There is obvious attention to detail on the grounds and in the house. The porches are wonderful too. I would definitely recommend the Murski B&B!

The cooking class very fun and informative - and delicious! Pam really knows her way around the kitchen. The small class size and hands-on environment helped us learn skills that we use everyday now. Pam and her husband, Tom, also provided great company as well! The room was beautiful, the bed comfy, and the view was splendid. It was a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of Houston. We are planning to go again and would recommend other people to do so as well!

This was a wonderful surprise birthday gift from my husband--a cooking class and stay at a B&B with a friend. We had the best time. Pamela is the kind of person who puts you at ease and takes good care of you without hovering or making you nervous. Her breakfast is generous and tastey (sp?) Her cooking style and method is one of experience and intiuition and my friend and I learned many tips and enjoyed an amazing dinner. She was so good about tailoring the class to our needs as moms and she really did it so seamlessly! She and her family have a lot of love and care for what they do and it shows! We really had to drag ourselves out and I have not had that deep of rest and relaxation in years! It's a cool location near Brenham, so we got to enjoy a little shopping and browsing, as well as taking walks through the country and all the benefits of the country without having to drive too far. We came in the middle of winter, so I can imagine it is even more beautiful in the Spring and summer! This is a place that will become a tradition for us and it seems for other people as well--so many people in the register were returning and in fact, a couple that overlapped with us were coming back!

My husband and I had a wonderful time staying at this rustic and quaint B&B. The history of the homestead is fascinating and the remodeling is eccletic. I had the pleasure of a cooking class with the owner, Pam, which was arranged secretly by my husband. What a great surprise! She taught me some valuable cooking tips and we made one of my now all time favorite dishes, Stateside Cheddar soup. My husband and I enjoyed the cozy sage room and the serene look outside our window. We are thankful for Pam's hospitality and a chance to revive our love life after having our precious baby girl.

My husband and I travel all the time, but we needed a place to let our hair down and totally relax. The rustic, charming house on top of the the rolling hills was the ideal place for us. We could walk out of our room onto the porch, sit on the porch swing, and look over the beautiful, spacious land and be intertained by two friendly cats, the cows in the distance and watch the water ripple on the pond. Pamela offers cooking classes for those who love cooking. The whole house smelled wonderful with the pleasant smelling soaps she makes and has out for display. Pam is a great Innkeeper with her down-home hospitality and friendly personality. This is a great B&B for those who want to get away from the noise of the big town, feel at peace with nature and be rejuvinated. The beds, though rustic, sleep as well as any new bed or your own personal bed at home. The Murski Homestead is a MUST for everyone who enjoys stepping back in time and being surrounded by THE GOOD OLD DAYS! You will definitely want to come back! Be seeing you again, Pamela!

From the minute we were brought to a stop for a close-up view of a gorgeous longhorn steer alongside Murski lane until we bade farewell to our gracious hostess we were treated to eye-poppin' sights, sounds and tastes.

Good friends and I discovered the pleasures of Murski B&B last spring and have just returned from our second stay there. Pamela is a warm and gracious hostess and her homestead and surrounding property are lovely and peaceful. The food is superb, and is a delicious testament to the fact that cooking, for her, is not a chore, but a genuine pleasure. I have a special affection for the cozy front porch, where we spent many wonderful hours after sunset visiting and enjoying the cool night air, and the delightful company of Tigger and Spec, the adorable feline residents whom I'm sure fancy themselves the "real" owners of the place! It was a fun and relaxing weekend and I hope to visit again soon.

What a wonderful place to get away from it all. My wife and I and another couple had the pleasure of spending a weekend in the Brenham area that was highlighted by our stay at the Murski B&B. From the time of our arrival till the time of our departure we felt right at home. The accomodations were what I had hoped for and more. What a fantastic gift of sharing a home so full of history, and it has been restored and decorated so beautifully. This was a birthday gift for my wife, so I opted to have a gourmet meal created by Pamela for us on Saturday evening. To say it was excellent, still wouldn't do it justice. It was easy to realize she truely enjoys her gift of creating memorable meals, and puts her heart and soul into her cooking. She was an entertaining hostess, willing to do the little extras that leave lasting impressions. The scenery, animals, and atmosphere made for a very relaxing place to end the day. I think the best testament I can give is this, we are already discussing what weekend we will return next Spring.

What a wonderful surprise to have such exquisite food in such an enchanted, quaint place. Our weekend was so peaceful and quiet filled with gorgeous sunrises and sunsets. We felt more relaxed and comfortable than we ever expected we would. We were looking for a simple weekend and did not want to be on the go,so we decided to dine at the B&B and have Pamela's gourmet food. The food was out of this world and after our stay and our meals we would describe our weekend as anything but simple. It was phenomenal!! We were so comforted by delicious food that so much thought and preperation had gone into, and in such a peaceful moment to be able to sit back, be served, and really savor every bite, every sound, and every bit of conversation. Our weekend was one of the best in our 8 years of marriage. It was surprisingly better than we thought it would be and it will be very difficult to replicate. We will be chatting together about this wonderful home and the incredible food many years to come. Thank you with all our hearts.

My husband and I have stayed at the Murski several times in the past few years, most recently in early February 2007. Our visits have always been wonderfully peaceful and Pamela has a gift for hospitality, making us feel welcome, but not being intrusive. The rooms are tastefully and beautifully decorated without being fussy. I particularly like the common spaces--the front porch, the dining area and the sun room with it's comfortable overstuffed chairs, handy tables and reading materials, and views of the glorious sunsets and the surrounding rolling hills. Pamela always has a variety of elegant snacks on hand for her guests. Sometimes it's wine and cheese, gourmet teas, fruit, and homemade breads. Breakfasts are prepared for us and placed in the fridge so we can eat at our own convenience. A typical breakfast is a fresh fruit cup, egg casserole of some type, local sausage or ham or bacon, and a variety of breads and juices. Heavenly and abundant. Having "Punkin" (longhorn steer) and Baby the donkey about add to the country atmosphere. Availability of the wireless internet connection is an added plus for the those who cannot stand to be apart from their computer connection. I hesitate telling how wonderful this B&B is because I fear that people will rush there and we'll have trouble getting reservations in the future!

We had a wonderful time. The Inn is in the country with the town less than a mile away and easily accessible. The accommodations fit our needs perfectly. The rooms were spacious and tastefully decorated. There is a great porch with a wonderful view of the countryside which includes a great sunrise. We enjoyed the den area as we had room to spread out and get comfortable. The food was outstanding and Pamela's hospitality was delightful. Being animal lovers we also enjoyed 2 friendly kitties, burros, and cows on the property. (they ALL had to stay outside). We will definitely go back.

B&B's are chosen for the fact they don't offer a corporate, cookie-cutter approach to staying the night away from home. I wanted a night away from home that wouldn't take forever to get to, and was near fun and interesting activities. It was for those reasons that I chose to look at the Murski Homestead in Brenham. When I called Pamela Murski to arrange a surprise getaway for my significant other on his birthday, she let me know just how detail oriented is is - I requested all sorts of stuff - I wanted fresh flowers for the room for his special day...but not too girly! I asked for food to be prepared for us - "no problem" she said, giving me a list of options on the spot. I requested a personalized birthday cake. She didn't even blink. Oh, and we weren't going to get there until 10PM or so...and could we check out a little later in the morning since we were getting in so late? Not an issue; she was happy to oblige! Bottom line; the service was outstanding - the communication was excellent, and every whim was indulged as if it were nothing at all. All this, in a lovely refurbished 1890's homestead, with hand cooked meals, prepared largely from scratch...what more could you possibly ask for? Whatever that might be, I have no doubt that Pamela Murski can help you with it! If you're considering a night in Brenham, consider the Murski Homestead B&B.

I’m not much of a writer, but to stay in such a delightful place and not tell others would be a crime. It was an unexpected discovery a couple of years ago when we were traveling into town for interview with the local radio station. We had a hotel booked but knew we were in B&B country. We used our trusty little Blackberries to Google and find a local B&B. Right off the top we found the Murski Homestead and although it was late in the evening we called to see if there was any chance this female trio could bunk for the night in a cozy little room instead of the motel. The owner was hesitant, but quickly warmed up to the idea and dropped everything to open her doors to this wearied group of travelers. What an incredible discovery! Once we passed the old decrepit house that we thought would be our manger, we arrived at the top of the cow covered prairie to find the most precious of homes to happen upon. We were screeching with glee as only three women could…this was going to be fun! And fun it was. We have returned two more times since and each visit gets better. There is always movement at the Murski Homestead and the fragrance of the home is like an angel who greets you with a song. The history is rich and the host is a delight beyond measure. The gourmet breakfast will last you throughout the day and have you talking about it for days. Some of the most memorable times for us is watching the sunset from the front porch deck and writing songs. The sunrise is just as beautiful both summer and winter…there is just beauty everywhere you look. This is a place that will take you far away in body mind and spirit. You will feel renewed and refreshed with each waking moment. I await my return with great anticipation.
