General Information

Highlander Inn was built by the High family in Blooming Grove, Texas circa 1890 to 1910 as their residence. Blooming Grove is a historic farming and ranching community about 15 miles west of Corsicana. The Campbells, whose ancestry traces to Argyle, Scotland, bought the home in 1997 and converted it to a bed and breakfast. The home's decor combines the Scottish influence of the Campbell family with the rich local history of the Blooming Grove area. We offer 6 gorgeous antique bedrooms. 2 bedrooms share a bath and the rest have their own bath. * Reasonable rates * Full breakfast * Free tour of our facilities and even a ghost story if you'd like to hear one. The antiques are breathtaking and the history fascinating. Leave the cell phone in the car and step back in time with us.
