The Cotton Palace
-
Enjoy a cup of gourmet coffee or tea and homemade goodies while sitting in front of the original green stone fireplace. Or you may wander out to the sun porch to select a book from the library or choose a video to watch from the porch or in the privacy of your own room.
The most romantic room in Waco has hosted many a bride and groom or anniversary couple celebrating their continued romance. The elegant room is enhanced by a glass shower or large corner marble whirlpool tub lit by an antique crystal chandelier.
Cuddle down in the king size paneled bed in Eren's Suite. Beautiful bed linens and custom made bedding make it hard to get out of bed. But the marble whirlpool tub and marble shower are the incentives to leave the cozy confines of the bedroom. The suite also features a separate sitting room with a couch that can be made into another bed.
Join us in the red dining room for a full gourmet breakfast every morning. Choose a freshly ground gourmet blend of coffee or an extensive selection of tea. Maybe you'll be lucky enough to be staying when we serve our signature puffed pear pancakes or creme brulee French Toast. The only thing more stimulating would be the talk around the table every morning.

We just can't say enough nice things about our stay at the Cotton Palace. Beautiful, gracious accomodations, outstanding breakfast meal, delightful hosts and attention to every detail. Visiting there with friends felt like being at home only without a care in the world. We highly recommend the Cotton Palace in Waco!

Waco is home and with a growing family, our own house would not accommodate everyone. We were fortunate to find Cotton Palace B&B available for our entire family to enjoy the comforts of a real home during Thanksgiving holiday. Oh! what a perfect setting. Wonderful breakfasts, spacious and comfortable bedrooms, delightful guests to visit with and room for everyone in one location. We'll do this again!

This home is spectacular with a unique warm southern charm.Our bedroom was large, had great beds and pillows. Delicious home made cookies all over the place. There is a large sitting room and living room for sitting and enjoying time with your friends or other guests. Breakfasts are over the top. It's worth going to Waco just to stay here.

5 out of 5Charming bed and breakfast in Waco
November 16, 2010
This is one incredible place to stay in Waco! The Cotton Palace is quiet, clean, and superbly decorated! The breakfast shared with the other guests in the morning is always VERY delicious! The care given to the guests is impeccable complete with fresh baked cookies awaiting all times of day and night. What a treat of a place to stay!
5 out of 5The Ultimate Central Texas Experience
October 26, 2010
You are drawn in from the first moment you walk into the door. A lovely, beautifully restored home that is spacious , inviting and restful. A true getaway for some serious R & R. Whether sitting in the living room by the fireplace reading and surrounded by beautiful music, sitting on the sun porch with a big screen TV or rocking on the front porch watching the activity on a tree-lined street, one is transported into another world for a short time. It is elegant yet cozy and comforting. Becky provides first class service, comfortable bedding and a gourmet breakfast that wraps the day like a large bow on top of a wonderful gift . And not to be missed is the experience of a short but unforgetable moment as Dutch serves you breakfast . He loves all who pass through the doors and you leave with a friend beyond description. Becky has created an experience beyond any other B & B that I have experienced.
5 out of 5A Mason's Secret
December 06, 2009
From the initial phone contact for information to the farewell at the end of the stay, Beckie and family made us feel at home and as if we were family. Four traveling brothers found the perfect refuge away from home. Beautifully decorated home, very clean rooms, comfortable beds, fresh towels and a delicious breakfast added exceedingly to this years Grand Lodge experience. Always desiring to help others, I find that I must keep this treasure a secret!
5 out of 5A very hospitable and friendly place to stay

Stayed there during Thanksgiving weekend. Host is very friendly and hospitable. Innkeeper was very accommodating. Room was a good value which included a jacuzzi tub, coffee and cookies. Location is central for museums and Baylor. Home cooked hot breakfast was delicious. Loved the french toast.
