    We had a very relaxing stay at The Brenham House. It is amazing how different Brenham is and yet it is so close to Houston. There is a peace about this little town. There are so many shops and restaurants in the downtown area. The Brenham House is a great location to the downtown. The home is very comfortable and James and Susan really seem to enjoy innkeeping! Their breakfasts were outstanding and we really looked forward to each of them! We stayed in the Garden Dream room upstairs. It was beautifully decorated and private. The room also had individual climate control, so we could set it however we liked. We will be back again.

    There was not one detail left undone. The Brenham B&B is inviting, comfortable and beautiful. I was made to feel like I was home, and the food......... You'll have to see for yourselves. Words cannot describe how delicious the ample 3 course breakfast was! Thank you Susan and James!!! I will be back .

    Our trip was a last minute get a way from the city and we picked the perfect place to stay. It was more than we expected and extremely pleased with the house in general from our greetings upon arrival (which we were way early and they let us settle in without hesitation) to our time of leaving by Susan and James. We were given tons of info to help us on our site seeing expedition which was a Winery, Blue Bell Factory, Antique Stores and the Airport Dinner. Our room “Blue Bonnet Suite” was just wonderful and loved the private entry from the outside to our room. We had a nice relaxing evening on the patio playing Chinese checkers and cards while having a couple glasses of wine. When we retired to our room to soak in the awesome claw foot tub and then watch a movie from the selection of DVS provided at the Bed and Breakfast. The breakfast was to die for…. We rate a 6 star out of a 5 star… if that is possible. If you are looking for a beautiful, quaint, peaceful place to get away from the city, this is the place for you. We will definitely return soon. Thanks Susan and James, you were fabulous and we truly enjoyed the conversation after breakfast as well. Cheers!!

    My husband and I (from Houston) booked a room for the first time at The Brenham House for our anniversary this past weekend. We were pleasantly greeted at the front door by the owners, James and Susan who had cookies and spa water waiting for our arrival! After going out to one of the local wineries that they had recommended (Windy Winery-which was tasty and relaxing), and stopping off for dinner at a local steakhouse, we returned to our lovely and comfortable room which had a private bath and connecting library suite. Breakfast the next morning was a delight as it started out with fruit and granola, made it's way to the best tasting egg dish I've ever had, and ended with a homemade brownie sundae! The lively conversation with the other guests and with James and Susan that morning made for a spectacular ending to a wonderful stay at The Brenham House! We shall return!
