  • Inn Details

    Conveniently located near both Round Top and Brenham. The Knittel features two beautifully restored homes, the 1870 Knittel House, a two story Texas Victorian constructed to resemble a Mississippi Riverboat and the Washington House, a handsomely restored 1914 farmhouse. Both houses provide the charm of the country homes of yesteryear and modern comfortable amenities for today’s traveling guest.

    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!

    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!

    What an amazing getaway!

    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.
