Highlander Inn

Highlander Inn was built by the High family in Blooming Grove, Texas circa 1911 to 1916 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. Check us out online at highlanderbb dot com

    Review Highlander Inn, Blooming Grove, TX

    Photo Album

    The Highlander was built circa 1911 to 1916 by the High family.  This historic home has played a prominent role in the community of Blooming Grove for almost 100 years. The town was so glad that Sam Fordyce brought the Cotton Belt Railroad to Blooming Grove that they named the main road through town after him. The Fordyce Room is furnished with a comfortable king size bed and decorated with historical railroad memorabilia from days gone by.
