Attended a meditation retreat at the Knittel Homestead Inn. The accommodations were wonderful. Carmen and Steve made us all very welcome and served us terrific meals. I would certainly recommend this place to anyone visiting the area, and plan to revisit it myself.

If you want to be treated like a king or a queen, the Knittel Homestead Inn is the place to be. The rooms are wonderful and cozy, with much attention to detail and making your stay enjoyable. The beds and pillows are so comfortable, you will be tempted to try to put them in your car when you leave. The owners, Steve and Carmen, go out of their way to ensure your stay is memorable. The breakfast is 5 star and served in an elegant dining room. You can sit and relax on the wide front porch, go for a walk in the quaint town of Burton, shop in Steve's Antique Barn, or just relax and sleep in your cozy room. I will go back!!!!

We have stayed at Knittel Homestead five times and each time has been AWESOME! Carmen and Steve are impeccable hosts and make our stays so enjoyable. We look forward to the fantastic breakfast each morning and are amazed at their hospitality. The rooms are so very comfortable, sparkling clean, and beautifully decorated. We love sitting on the porch of the Washington house in the evenings. It can be pouring rain and it is still a treat to just relax and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Steve's pizza is great and is a very nice convenience they have added to their offerings. When in the area, we will always stay with the Finns!

While antiquing at Round Top was a washout with the two-day rain storm, our B & B made our trip worthwhile. The rainfall on our attic rooftop made for great sleeping and breakfast around the table cozier. The house is charming and the proprietors very good at what they do best .... make you feel right at home. Marty Drake, Houston

My husband and I always had doubts about staying at a b&b, but Knittel's changed our minds. This place is awesome because you feel right at home before you walk in. The room was cozy and bed very comfortable. The gourmet breakfast was outstanding! Our total stay was perfect. This is not to overshadow the attentiveness and politeness of the hosts. We will definitely come back.

We booked this b&b b/c the one we usually stay at during Round Top was already booked. This one was more expensive but ended up being totally worth it. The rooms were comfortable and the in room bathroom big enough. The real treat was the hot cooked served breakfast on china. It was nice to have a gourmet breakfast and to be waited on, too! We will definitely return!

My wife and 2 grown daughters and a boyfriend were all in town for a family reunion - what an oustanding visit we had, capped each evening with quite, restful, sparkling clean accomodations presented by Steve and Carmen. The rooms are simply perfect! They have done such a fantastic job of restoration and decorating. My wife and I stayed in the "Lodge" room and I was delighted with the outdoorsy atmosphere. The Finn's attended to every detail and were wonderful hosts. We can not personally speak for the breakfasts but reading through several years worth of comments from guests, we feel comfortable stating the breakfasts are "delicious!" Carmen even made us a "short" pot of coffee the night before we left. Looking forward to the opportunity to visit again!

They have done all the little things that make a B&B go from just good to OUTSTANDING. We have stayed in B&B’s all over the country and without a doubt this is one of the best. It is worth staying here just for the breakfast Wow!!!! it delicious and beautifully presented.

This is a wonderful B&B that I would recommend to anyone. The Isabella room that we stayed in was beautiful from the tastefully adorned room to the antique claw foot bath. There is nothing nicer than relaxing in the wooden rockers on the huge second story wrap-around porch on a quiet Burton afternoon. The morning breakfast fare was wonderful, better than you could find in most any fine dining establishment. The inn keepers were wonderful people who were full of interesting stories about the rich history of the Knittel Homestead.

The Knittel Homestead Inn has become our secret getaway. If your interest is in antiques or Festival Hill music activities or gourmet French food or just pure relaxation, this is a refuge for you. Our favorite room—-there are six--is the Bungalow room, which is adorned with beautiful mission furniture and Arts and Crafts décor. A close second is the Paris apartment, which, with the slightest imagination, could face out onto the Champs Elysees. Steve and Carmen Finn are the innkeepers. They are wonderful conversationalists, who live by the credo, “Strangers are friends whom we have not yet met.” They have extensive knowledge about architectural decoration, and have amassed an interesting collection of antiques in a barn on the property. As for breakfast, you will not go hungry or dissatisfied. Breakfasts are made from scratch and we were offered imaginative creations every morning. For dinner, noted chef Andre Delacroix, offers the best of French fare at his Brazos Belle Restaurant, which is located across the street from the Inn.

We stayed in the Isabella room for two nights and were blown away by the beauty of the room. The service and friendliness of Steve and Carmen exceeded expectations. The room was definitely big enough and the bed was very comfortable. We had access to the wrap around porch on the main house and the views and scenery were breathtaking. We definitely will be staying at the Knittel Homestead again and highly recommend anyone looking to stay at a bed and breakfast to stay at the Knittel.

My husband & I stayed at the Knittle Homestead last year while looking for property in the Burton area. Steve & Carmen were the most wonderful hosts! The restorations they have done on these homes is phenominal! The rooms are very well appointed, private, large & felt like home. Steve's breakfast is worth the visit in itself... what a masterpiece!! Although we now live in the area, I'm looking forward to another visit to their lovely home. This jewel is not to be missed!
