    Review 1895 Tarlton House, Hillsboro, TX

    Photo Album

    Tarlton House - Three story Queen Anne Victorian built in 1895The 2-story entry staircase is carved and paneled from wood imported from Europe. Anticipation builds upon entering here, for the craftsmanship and artistry transport you to the century when cotton was king. The staircase leads to the 4 unique guest rooms on the second floor, and subsequently the three guest rooms of the third floor. If it's cold outside, sit down a minute in these regal old Queen Anne wingbacks in front of the entry fireplace, and rest a minute before you take the tour. The carving is unique, the inlaid tiles are original, and were imported from Italy. We're excited that you have come. Welcome, welcome!
    The Cottage Garden offers Shabby Chic pastels for a relaxing experience. The bedroom has a private bathroom with tub and shower, as well as a small sitting room. The armoire on the east wall is a lovely old work of art, a vintage piece from a prior owner. On the west end of the Tarlton House, aquamarine hugs the walls, adorned with quality antique quilts, and rose-pink accents. This is your place to feel comfortable and classy. Relax in your room, write a note at the desk, or peruse the Victorian magazine. This room just feels really good!At check-in time we offer a social hour, where you can meet and greet fellow guests, and perhaps the innkeepers will take time to visit, as well. Appetizers and beverages are provided, plus menus from local restaurants tantalize you with dinner options. 
In the morning, you can smell freshly ground gourmet coffee waiting for you in the Breakfast room. Breakfast at the Tarlton House is a bountiful buffet with hearty hot entrees, fruit, cereal, and fresh-baked goods offered at 8 AM weekdays and 9 AM Saturday and Sunday mornings. Take a second cup of coffee to the front wraparound porch to start a leisurely rhythm in a rocking chair. Local papers, the Wall Street Journal, and a host of magazines await your browsing.
    The Seaside Guest Room ceilings are 12 feet high. The original 1895 fireplace mantel is surrounded by muted blues with vintage and designer seafaring memorabilia. The private bathroom has a double-size shower with an oversized showerhead. 
Down by the sea, the salt air was fresh and breezy, the afternoon sailing, balmy and brisk. Now you can relax in your room at the inn, still sensing the gentle wafting of the waves and hearing the soothing water lapping on the sides. Resting in your adirondack chair while reading one of your favorite novels, you can savor the evening with pleasure.Magnolia Guest Room is the original master bedroom for the Tarltons. The decor is elegant Old South. The king pillowtop bed is exquisite comfort, and the twin daybed has another spot for relaxing. Large bathroom has a clawfoot tub and pedestal sink.
