Inn Details
The Milam Home is located in the heart of Livingston, a small but progressive East Texas town. This designated, historical landmark was built in the early 1900's or earlier and is solid cypress. The wrap-around porch welcomes you to the relaxed, comfortable atmosphere that is present here. Each room of the Milam Home has been restored from floor to ceiling and takes you back to a more carefree, peaceful time that offers an escape from the present day hustle and bustle. The rooms are furnished with antiques from the "Antebellum" era with a touch of Victorian decor and the windows boast of wooden shutters that offer optimum privacy. The Milam Home is a non hosted bed and breakfast giving guests a feeling of "home away from home." Our desire is for guests to feel pampered during their stay while allowing them a feeling of privacy as well. Debra Nelson, the innkeeper, arrives in the morning to create a bountiful homemade breakfast guaranteed to fill the most hungry appetites. Guests are always reluctant to leave the genuine Southern hospitality that is displayed at the Milam Home. Please come visit us in a place where you can relax and escape the big city, relish the pleasures of country living, and be treated like royalty.
