    Our parents and children surprised us with a weekend getaway to the Clipper House in Kemah, TX for our 25th wedding anniversary. We had never stayed at a B&B before. It was great! So relaxing! What a quaint, beautiful place to enjoy and reflect.

    Lovely Anniversary without the kids

    We stayed on November 5th 2009 for our 3rd anniversary. We had the Elissa cottage. This place is so incredibly quaint. Directly outside of the room were grapevines. Our room was nicely done and as I understand it, they had recently been remodeled due to hurricane Ike. We were greeted in our room with a bottle of wine with a special anniversary label on it, yummy cake and roses. The three things I liked best about this place was our wonderfully large tub with bath immenitites, being located next to a winery with free tastings and snacks (we took several bottles home with us) and Barbara. Barbara could not have been any nicer. She was helpful from my very first phone call to the minute we were leaving and I stubbed my toe and she gave me first aid. Barbara and her husband are incredibly nice people. My husband and I are planning on stying there again this summer for his birthday.

    Excellent innkeepers and a beautiful atmosphere

    My wife and I had a great time. We relaxed all afternoon helping ourselves to some wine from next door. The rooms were quaint and comfortable. They took it the extra mile in ways I did not expect. The atmosphere was wonderful and we were able to take a short walk down the street and cut loose at the Kemah Boardwalk. Charming place and we will be back.
