Strickland Arms Bed and Breakfast


  • Inn Details

    Located in a quiet, residential neighborhood, Strickland Arms is walking distance to Shipe Park, Elisabet Ney Museum, Austin landmark restaurants, and coffee and other specialty shops. Featuring twelve-foot ceilings, formal dining and living areas, wrap-around antebellum style porch (complete with rattan swings), a private back yard and French patterned garden veranda(under construction), the native limesone, turn-of-the-century, 5000 square foot home will take you back to a time when things were much simpler. You will forget the hustle and bustle when you step through our antique wrought iron gate and walk through the beautiful baroque fountain garden shaded by a massive red oak and pecan trees, up the limestone front steps, and past the twin giant great dane statues that guard the front door of Strickland Arms.

    Beautiful house, nice rooms but this visit, it was kind of dirty, grounds needed mowing, and they served biscuits out of the can!

    Excellent experience! Stayed there with other "friends of the bride" and it was the perfect place for us to connect and recharge. Peaceful and lovely. I expect a B&B to be a little less clean than the sterile, boring, impersonal chain hotels I use for business travel. Slight downgrade on cleanliness because one of the pillows smelled a little moldy. Perhaps that is typical in the Austin climate.

    My husband and I had a romantic getaway last weekend at the Strickland Arms. It was fabulous! The Stricklands were caring hosts. They have put a lot of work into the grounds, in which they have successfully created a number of private, beautiful places for romantic encounters. The house is charming. The towels are plush and soft. The biscuits are irresistable. It was perfect! Thank you!
