  • Inn Details

    Welcome to the historic George Blucher House Bed & Breakfast Inn, recognized in Frommer's 1st and 2nd Edition Texas Travel Guides as one of the "Best of Texas" Bed and Breakfasts and Small Hotels....and given its top rating of 3 stars! A 1904 Victorian, the Inn is conveniently located just a few blocks from upscale restaurants, trendy clubs and a sparkling bay front and marina. Just across the street is Blucher park, an internationally renowned bird sanctuary. Legal eagles will appreciate the two-block stroll to the Nueces County Courthouse. The George Blucher House is elegantly appointed with antique French, English and American country furnishings, fine Oriental carpets, original artwork, fine china, silver and crystal. Six professionally decorated bedrooms offer private baths with guest robes and assorted toiletries, luxury linens, televisions and VCRs, two dedicated telephone lines and more. Wile away the hours on one of the verandas or balconies. Stroll the park-like grounds with fountains, birdbaths and benches. Enjoy!

    All I can say is "WOW". The old house has been beautifully restored while preserving the character and elegance of a time long past. The decor is a dream-walk in nostalgia land, and the bed in "Arthur's Suite" was as comfortable as any I slept in, once I found the step-stool to get in it, (it's about 4ft to the top of the mattress). I would love to tell you about the best part, the Breakfast, but even though I'm an experienced orator with an extensive vocabulary, the words at my disposal lack the eloquence to do it justice: The service, the presentation, and the quality are as good as any I've been served anywhere, even in 5 star restaurants. Added bonus: The location seams to be conveniently close to everything fun to do in the Corpus Christi area. My visit was a surprise second honeymoon for my wife, and she said, "You could not have chosen a better place. It was a wonderful surprise".

    Tracy is a first rate innkeeper who makes the home inviting. The room we had was well maintained, and ours had a seperate reading room. My wife commented how there wasn't a spec of dirt to be found. The breakfast was great both days. We would stay at the George Blucher House again. We were there for my wife's birthday and she was very happy I chose this B&B.

    This B&B has all the right features-clean, style, and friendly owners. The room was perfect and all the small details were there-down to the starch for ironing. Breakfast was delicious, too.

    Simply AWESOME!

    Our stay at the Blucher house was one that we will never forget. Tracey sure did spoil us rotten! From the ambiance of a charming turn of the century house to the heavenly aroma of fresh ground coffee, we felt as if we were being treated like royalty during our stay. Thank you so much for an unforgettable weekend - - you have Customers for life!
