    I recently stayed at the Harper-Chesser Inn while on business travel and loved it. The rooms are all exceptional and the food was some of the best I've had at any B&B. The owners were great to work with and very friendly. Well worth the effort to stay in Georgetown for Austin or Round Rock business..

    We organized a trip for 5 women for our youngest sister's 50th birthday. The Inn was beautiful, comfortable and very charming. They have blended the old and the new perfectly. It was so fun to sit in the parlor with a beautiful Christmas tree and listen to my niece play the piano. Breakfasts were wonderful and Georgetown has so much to offer. Unique shops and great dining. We will be back.

    Wonderful service, such an eye for detail. This wonderful B&B was close enough to enjoy the city entertainment. Its location was great! The beautiful trees and porch where wonderful to enjoy. The breakfast was delightful. We hope to be going back soon. It was just the place to have some one on one time with my husband, and to rejuvant a stressed sole.
