    It said breakfast was included so I thought breakfast would be there. They had information about 3 different restaurants they recommended but whether they had a deal with them, I wasn't sure and I didn't think to ask when we went to the White Rhino cafe. It was a cute cafe though in a large, gray Victorian house.

    The house was great. There were a lot of interesting things to look at and our en suite bathroom was wonderful. Oh, and the bed was beautiful and the balcony was great. It was a little rainy so we didn't enjoy it as much as we'd like, plus we got there late and I couldn't stay more than one night but that wasn't their fault. I hope I am able to go again in the future!

    There was not anything I didn’t like but be aware, there are areas without ramps.

    The cottage was beautiful and very comfortable. It was nice to have a private entrance.

    2 things could have made it a little better. sometimes in the evening the room was a little warm. A fan was supplied for the room and that made it ok. The last night there the room was a lot cooler and much better. By no means is this a complaint. Everyone has their own comfort settings. Just a small item. The only other thing that is very minor is it would have been nice to have a small fridge in the room (not that there is a place for it) There is one in the common room for guests to use.

    The host Mr. Baskin was exceptional. He was friendly and helpful. His home is beautiful. The room was comfortable and clean. The bowl of chocolate set out by the front door was a real nice touch. The front porch is a great place to relax. Lot of history to be seen in the home. From the time to you arrive you feel welcome. Just all around great experience. Mr. Baskin really pays attention to detail to be sure his guests are taken care of.

    The inn exceeded my expectations, it felt like going to your grandparents house. It felt like home and was very comfortable. We had a great stay. Downtown. Is walking distance and worth going to see. We spent lots of time shopping and enjoying the town.

    The WiFi didn’t work in the cottage , didn’t stay connected. If we came back to Waxahachie I’d stay there again.

    The free breakfast was a plus. The house was in a very nice landscaped neighborhood.

    The host was soooo AMAZING, as it turned out, we knew some of the same people so it was fun to talk about our commonalities. The home was EXTREMELY COZY and inviting, I wanted to move in. We were in town for a funeral, nice distraction from the sadness.

    It was as hot as blue blazes outside (over 100) - the cabin was comfortably cool when we arrived and throughout our stay. There is limited shade in the retail area of downtown.

    Host met us and showed us to our suite. The turn of the century home is beautiful and comfortable. Mary and Howard anticipated our needs. We were fortunate to run into Tony (he has been a long time employee and friend of Howard and Mary). Tony gave us a grand tour of the house and its rich history. We are looking for reasons to return to the area. Enjoyed an excellent steak and sides at Prime 115. Enjoyed a evening at the Playhouse downtown as well as the evening entertainment at Big Al's.

    I must commend the tissues in this accommodation! The premium quality feels like cloth! We slept warmly and can attest that the mattress and pillows were firm. Some of the things we liked: - Curtains block light - No bed bugs or cockroaches - Super Safe neighbourhood - Free Parking - Free breakfast at an amazing cafe 2 mins drive away from the accommodation
