Knittel Homestead Inn

Steve and Carmen Finn make Innkeeping look easy! Whether sitting on the wraparound porch enjoying the peace and quiet or relaxing in one of the perfectly appointed guestrooms, your experience with the Knittel will not disappoint. The facility is an ongoing labor of love externally...but the interior is absolutely perfect. The 3-course gourmet breakfasts were delightful and the conversation warm and enjoyable. Although Burton is not quite up and coming yet, there is a quaint little pub with an acordian player who served with John Wayne and a restaurant owned by a chef previously with the Four Seasons restaurant in Dallas. We highly recommend the Knittel Homestead Inn and will be returning with family!

Had a very enjoyable stay at Knittle. Hosts were very friendly and warm. Room was excellent as was the bed. Very clean; had wi-fi connection. Very quiet. Very good value from Groupon.

Beautiful Bed and Breakfast, which is right in the middle of Houston and Austin, so there are so many options for places to go and things to do. The room was gorgeous and the food was delicious. I highly recommend it.

We loved our weekend stay at the Knittel Homestead Inn. Carmen and Steve were charming hosts and their willingness to share their knowledge of the history of Burton and the lodgings they have lovingly restored gave us a comfortable and delightful home away from home!

My husband and I celebrated our second wedding anniversary here, and it was beyond our expectations. The Innkeepers Steve and Carmen are delightful and full of great stories, and delicious recipes. Although most places besides the Inn in Burton only take cash, there is an ATM within walking distance. We met new friends and became a part of history, and we loved every moment of it! -R&M F.

We stayed in the Lodge room and loved it. The hosts were very gracious, very informative, and very nice. The food at breakfast was also great and we ordered one of their homemade pizzas and loved it. We got all of the rest and relaxation that we wanted. I would definitely recommend you try out the Knittel Homestead Inn. We will certainly be back, and will try out one of the other rooms :-D. Oh yeah, and the beds were more comfortable than any hotel mattress I have slept on.

We stayed at the Knittel B&B for our anniversary. The food was excellent (full breakfast and yummy snacks), the rooms were so comfortable-both cozy, elegant and functional (did I mention a huge bathroom with bubble bath included?). The hospitality of the owners was very warm. The town, while close to some fun activities, was still a getaway and very relaxing.

We enjoyed the great hospitality and cozy rooms. A great place for a quiet, romantic weekend away from the city.

The Knittel Inn is an immaculate, warm and cozy bed and breakfast! The food is delicious, and Steve and Carmen (the owners and hosts) are so very gracious and accommodating!! There is so much loving attention to detail in every aspect of this inn...it is a real gem!! I would recommend it to anyone (and already have)!!

The hosts are kind and provided great service. We loved our spacious room- Audrey's Attic- and hope to go back another time to stay in one of the different rooms. It was nice getting to know the other people staying there as well. We found fun things to do in the neighboring cities and had a nice, relaxing, escape from the big city.

We visited for a quick girl's trip. We loved every aspect of the Knittel Homestead Inn. The accomadations are beautiful, comfortable,and very clean. Steve and Carmen are extremely hospitable. We felt very relaxed and refreshed there.

We are a couple that wanted a getaway to de-stress. From the time we first arrived at subject inn we loved it. The accommodations were top notch, the exterior of both, the main house and the Washington House (the house we stayed in) were very impressive. We stayed in the Flora Room, it had five large windows (with shades) which gave it a wonderful sunny atmosphere. The first morning of our stay we took a leisurely walk around town and then went to the main house for breakfast. We were in for quite a pleasant surprise, as we entered the main house, we were very impressed with the beautiful interior of the home. The breakfast was phenomenal, Steve and Carmen (the innkeepers) were fantastic!! They provided a wonderful breakfast that you would have to experience yourself in order to appreciate. Words alone cannot properly describe what an enjoyable, all-around wonderful stay this was for us. Bottom line, service, food, accommodations, atmosphere, all made for an excellent, relaxing stay. I highly recommend The Knittel Homestead Inn.

This place is great! The accommodations are lovely and well decorated, clean and cozy. The food (breakfast and room service) is delicious. The inn keepers are welcoming, interesting, and friendly. Overall a fantastic experience and i can't wait to go back!

the details that went into restoring this old farmhouse are so breathtaking! everything was perfect!

Loved our stay here. Carmen and Steve were great hosts and were able to work around all of our requests. Room was very clean and the food was great. Thanks again!

great place to get away, relax, enjoy and re-energize. Wonderful hosts thanks so much

We have stayed at the Knittel Inn 3 times and plan to go again this summer. We go to the concerts at Round Top and then stay here. It's great.

Hubby and I had a wonderful and relaxing stay. Burton is a small town with a population of 359. We live in Houston and this was a beautiful change of pace. The Bed and Breakfast was truly magnificent. Carmen and Steve are great Innkeepers and they complement each other well. We enjoyed a glorious two day stay and hope to be back!

My girlfriend and I made a quick getaway to Burton, TX to the fabulous Knittel Homestead Inn! Our stay was wonderful. We were welcomed graciously by the Finn's. Breakfast was superb! I loved the fact that you could order in room service for dinner. An excellent B & B!

My room was large and very clean. The food was great. Enjoyed sitting on the porch.

Our stay at the Knittel Homestead Inn in October 2010 was delightful! We were warmly welcomed and enjoyed the excellent facilities and wonderful food. The pink room with the great tub was truly lovely.

We got married at Knittel Homestead. Steve and Carmen did everything in order to make our wedding and stay just perfect. The wedding was easy and we didn't have to plan anything. We were so relaxed while we were there and really enjoyed it. The food they prepared the evening after the wedding and in the morning were both awesome. We would definitely recommend this place to anyone interested in staying in the area.

Congratulations! Thank you for taking the time to review our property.

My boyfriend and I stayed at this lovely Bed and Breakfast. We were both first timers to the Bed and Breakfast experience, but we will be trying out many more and plan to return to this one in the future.

we stayed at knittel homestead inn in october 2009. i had had a terrible fall and had to have emergency surgery, after which i was not well enough to travel for a number of days. steve and carmen were so wonderful to my husband and me during our stay. they not only fixed breakfast for us, they fixed us dinner which they brought to our room. i cannot imagine staying anywhere else where i would have been treated with such concern and kindness.

Scrumpdidleyuptious maple pecan french toast at the Knittel Homestead Inn is a delicious part of their gourmet breakfast.

A weekend of silence, flowers, rest and renewal - good bed, nice design, excellent food - don't miss it.

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.

Fantastic people running the place. It was peaceful and enjoyable.

Carmen & Steve, Thank you both for an awesome wedding ceremony. The Paris Apartment was the perfect honneymoon suite and you're hospitality has been more than we could have asked for. You have a great place here and we will be back in the future. You guys are the best!

Located in lovely little town, quiet neighborhood. We stay during antique week and it's perfect spot, close to shows. Carmen and Steve are warm and friendly and have done an amazing job with their property. Breakfast is high class! Wonderful place to stay.

Our hosts were friendly and great cooks! The accomodations were very comfortable, and we will stay there again.

The Innkeepers, Steve & Carmen, have created an atmosphere that is warm and comfortable. My husband & I look forward to our stay each time we visit nearby family.

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 are glad you had a satisfactory frist B&B visit. Thank you.

I have stayed at the Knittel twice and can't wait to go back! The rooms are adorable, comfortable, and quiet. The breakfast is amazing!! Steve and Carmen are perfect hosts! I am looking forward to my next visit!

We went to Burton to look at a potential new home. Stayed at the Knittel Homestead Inn, fell in love with the inn, the new home (have a contract on it), and the town. Wonderful inn, and wonderful innkeepers.

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you and welcome to town!

- Steve and Carmen finn (innkeeper)

A charming and quiet place to relaxing. The bed was very comfortable and the meals were delicious. I highly recommend this inn for those who want to escape the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The historical architecture of this inn and the surrounding building in Burton make this an added attraction as well!

[Resource Id: innkeeperresponse, Set: reviews]
Thank you, do come again.

- Steve abd Carmen Finn (innkeeper)

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!

The Knittle Homestead is understated elegance in the main house while the house in the back of the property has been renovated to make the four rooms quiet and comfortable. For shopping, there is an antique store on the property as well. Breakfasts are excellent!!

Knittel Homestead is a perfect quiet getaway from the big city hustle and bustle. The service, rooms, breakfast, and hosts are excellent. Sitting on the front porch, visiting with friends is an excellent adventure.

Rooms are immaculate and comfortable. food was gourmet. host are most gracious. Always a first class experience. The best!

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!

We had a wonderful stay at Knittel Homestead Inn. The décor is truly beautiful and the entire place is spotlessly clean. 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.

We were lucky enough to visit during the Burton Cotton Gin Festival - American small town at it finest! The rockers on the balcony were so enjoyable! The room was lovely and the bed/linens were heavenly. Fine service and great food - a five star weekend!

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 boyfriend and I have stayed at the Knittel Homestead Inn four times, and each time, the room was perfect and the breakfast delicious. Steve and Carmen are gracious, friendly hosts! The rooms are clean and extremely comfortable. The property is gorgeous and what can I say about Steve's breakfast--delicioso! It gets better every time. I can't wait for my next stay.

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!
