Chaska House B&B / Hemingway's cottages

My wife and I went there on our honeymoon and stayed in Hemingway retreat. The owner were the nicest, most pleasant people. The room was perfect. And breakfast was superb. We will definitely be back for anniversaries, getaways and any other opportunity. If you are considering going I would recommend it to everyone for any and all occasions. This place is the best!

I do not have one complaint about the chaska house. my husband and i stayed.there last night for our honeymoon. We stayed in the hemingway retreat one. it was spacious, clean, cozy, neat,full of artifacfs, and the sheets were the softest in the whole world. The jaccuzi tub for two was wonderful and the water got HOT! The owners are the nicest people i have ever meet in this kind of business. the woman encouraged my husband to carry me over the threshold as she took pictures for us. The breakfast was hot, unique, made from scratch and made you feel good. Stuffed french toast and homeade syrup! Yum! The couple sat at the breakfast table after serving us and told us stories and gave us great advice! I cannot wait to go back and.try out the other rooms!

this was a return trip for me / first time for my husband we had a delightful time exploring waxahachie and all the great antique shops hope to convince my girlfriends that we need to do a return trip in feb

This was the first time i stayed in a B&B my wife and I had a great time, and plan to go for our anniversary every year.

My new husband and I spent our wedding night at "the retreat I". We had a late check in but Louis was so understanding and welcoming. It's just a short walk from the main house. It felt like we were in the country. We relaxed and enjoyed the jetted tub. Breakfast was wonderful and even the guest were nice. I was very impressed with Louis and Linda taking time out to sit down and visit at breakfast. Their relaxed and welcoming disposition rubs off and you automaticaly feel at home! We ended our special day in a very special place. We will be returning!

Perfect example of the charm and hospitality that defines B&Bs. Our hosts, Louis and Linda, were wonderful and made us feel very welcome. We will come back!

Louis and Linda were so warm and funny! I really enjoyed the whole experience. It was very peaceful. I will be back. I can't wait!

This is the eighth time we've been and it just keeps on being the best getaway spot we've ever experienced. the rooms are fantastic and the owner's are amazing. we love to come and do a little shopping in town, but the best part is the relaxing and friendly atmospher developed at the Chaska House. Thank you as always for a wonderful time.

My wife and I stayed at the Chaska B&B for our 6th anniversary. The Brown's are great hosts and tell a great story about their coming to own the property as well as their family history. Waxahachie is a nice city that's out of the way of DFW to get away to. Louis makes some killer breakfast, so get ready! Also, if you are looking for a nice setting for a wedding or social in Waxahachie, Louis & Linda have another venue dedicated for this. My wife and I were married in Waxahachie as well, so staying there was a nice trip down memory lane. Sincerely, Ben & Erin Alvarez

We just spent a delightful weekend at the Chaska House B&B in Waxahachie, Texas. Each room is named for an author (Mark Twain, F. Scott Fitzgerald, Teddy Roosevelt, Shakespeare) and decorated in the era of the author. The upstairs landing includes a small common sitting area and an antique buffet holds coffee and soft drinks. We stayed in the Teddy Roosevelt room. It was very large for a B&B room with an expansive sitting area including a flat screen TV and DVD. The owners have managed to combine the charm and elegance of a bygone era with the modern conveniences most travelers expect. The Roosevelt room included carpet in an antique pattern but with extra thick padding. The lighting in the room included overhead potlights as well as antique lamps. The large ensuite bathroom had an old fashioned claw-footed tub, but also had a shower for two, a hair dryer and a lighted makeup mirror. And, the antique reproduction bed with a beautifully carved eagle on the headboard and footboard was king size. The owners, Louis and Linda Brown, are delightful people and enjoy visiting with their guests without being intrusive. Breakfast was delicious. Louis and Linda joined us to share information about the history of the home and the area. They are very knowledgeable and we enjoyed visiting with them. In fact, as we checked out we spent 45 minutes in conversation about various subjects. This is a delightful place for a weekend getaway and is well suited to couples of all ages. Vickie & Dan

Our stay in the Gatsby room, upstairs in the main house, was a great experience. Quiet, peaceful and elegant. This is a beautiful, old home, much like many of the homes in Waxahachie. What makes this one better than the others (including the other B&Bs!) is the sincere and genuine hospitality of its hosts, Louis and Linda. What a lovely visit it was! We are so looking forward to the next time we can be there.

Louis and Linda know how to do it. The decor was fabulous and excellently done, the music - perfect, it was close to the historic Waxahachie square, the food and coffee was exceptional, and the hospitality - inviting and precious. You guys, God's best to you. He obviously has done just that!

My husband and I stayed recently, at the chaska house, during the week. It was our first time to stay in a B & B. From what we experienced, we will definitely be back. The owners are down to earth nice people, the house was warm and inviting, the rooms were comfortable and elegant, the bathroom was spacious and clean. The breakfast was simple but delicious. It was very, very quiet and peaceful. It was a relaxing getaway.

This b&b was way more beautiful than the photos give it credit. Bedrooms are super clean and enormous. Top notch decorrating, extremely hospitable innkeepers and outstanding breakfast.

I love old world charm, wrap around porches, elegant bedding and decor. I loved the feeling of peace and royalty!

My husband and I were looking for a relaxing weekend and that is exactly what we got!! We had a massage from the local therapist, and a quiet, peaceful afternoon! The breakfasts were incredible!!!

Our innkeepers very sweet and room was loaded with charm!

Hospitality plus! caring, concerned innkeepers- Linda and Louis. Warm and cozy, beautifully decorated beds and breakfast. Breakfast was a culinary delight.

Best B&B I've ever been to. Chaska House is perfect,and the proprieters are exceptional people.

Great intownlocation. Beautifully restored 1900s antique home.

I stayed at the Chaska over Memorial Day weekend, 2007- a rainy, dreary, stormy, miserable weekend to be traveling. The F. Scott Fitzgerald room was an absolute sanctuary- beautiful, nicely outfitted, and just plain comfortable. Louis and Linda are an absolute delight, and their hospitality is above and beyond. Breakfasts are simply amazing. I would spend a stormy weekend when my plans got rained out again at Chaska House.
