Excellent place, location and hostess

This place was very quaint, comfortable and enjoyable but the best part was the warm welcome by the hostess - she really went out of her way to make us comfortable and so we could thoroughly enjoy our stay. Would definitely recommend her highly to anyone!

Really Enjoyed Our Stay

We live in North Carolina and our brother-in-law is from Brenham and was to be inductded into his High School Sports Hall of Fame, so 8 members of the family came into town for the event. Instead of getting 2 rooms at a local motel, we decided to try VRBO (our first time). We selected Holle House and 6 of us stayed here (B-I-L and wife stayed with his parents). Susan was a wonderful host. She said that owning a B&B was her lifelong dream and it showed by her hospitality and interest in making sure we had what we needed. There was an abudnance of breakfast items, fruit, juice, coffee, etc that started each of our 3 days out on a good note. The last night we had childhood friends come to town to vist before we left. Having the living room was a real bonus. If we make it back to Brenham, we will stay with Susan again.

What a great find!

This was the perfect location for our Thanksgiving away from home. The property is beautiful and has much of the original windows and woodwork. The photos online are very accurate. The rental is just the first floor and Susan the owner makes that clear when you speak to her. There are apartments upstairs that have their own entrance. From what I gather there is one owner apartment and the other is occupied by the owner's son. In any case it was quiet and you could easily forget that there is anyone above. Susan was a delight to work with. She was so hospitable and made us feel so welcome. She provided us with breakfast (milk, juice, yogurt and quiche in the fridge, a basket of muffins and bagels, plenty of fruit, nuts and candy) and even a pumpkin pie for our Thanksgiving feast. We look forward to staying here again and would highly recommend this house.

Visualize Living in the Early 1900’s

It was a nice comfortable stay in this large well preserved home. Susan went out of her way to add some special homey touches which we appreciated. We would stay there again.

Very Relaxing

Overall, it was a very relaxing stay. The neighborhood is very quiet. The house was well stocked and the owner was very friendly. The house was very clean and the owner left plenty of breakfast and snack items. We didn't have to purchase breakfast our entire stay. We plan on returning with our son since the house is kid friendly.

Work ,work, work

Crew came in town to paint decorative treatments in a new construction home. It was so nice to come to this comfortable home at the end of a very long work day! The owner went above & beyond to make sure we had everything we needed and also provided us breakfast goodies & fruit in the mornings! I would not hesitate to return.

Perfect weekend!

I stayed at the Holle House for a weekend trip with my 3 sisters & mother. Brenham was a nice central spot for the five of us to meet. We do this 3 times a year, and look for a place where we can sleep comfortably, have at least two bathrooms (we are 5 women!), watch movies together, and cook dinners & breakfasts. We ended up only using two of the bedrooms (the owner graciously set up the dining room as a 3rd bedroom, with two comfortable looking rollaway twin beds) mother was in the queen bedroom room, and the four sisters shared the two full size beds. It was like being kids again, staying up talking and laughing...just perfect. Beds were VERY comfortable. Even though only one bathroom with a shower, it was no problem for us to share that...having a additional powder room was what was important ;-). The kitchen had everything we needed to cook our dinners, and the large kitchen was very homey. We enjoyed sitting at the kitchen table playing cards, too. The flat screen tv in the sitting room allowed us to watch our movies. The house was extremely clean. Susan, the owner called a few days before arrival to discuss choices for breakfast that she so thoughtfully provided. We actually couldn't even eat it all! There were also candy dishes full of wrapped chocolates all over the house, and thick fluffy robes left on the beds. Shampoos & soaps, and paper products were also provided. There were more than enough parking for our five cars. The house was just like the pictures showed. There were even fresh flowers! It was evident that the owner enjoys hosting guests, and that she has gone to great effort to prepare this historical house for guests. As a side note, Brenham was a great choice for us. Our two lunches out, were nice, walking around for several hours downtown, was exactly what we like to do... cute shops, antique stores, etc. and a great grocery store (a large HEB) just a few minutes from the house. Perfect weekend!

A GREAT STAY IN A GREAT GETAWAY PLACE

As one may asume by my title I travel a lot for pleasure but even more for a living. I am an over the road truck driver and a ships owner/captain who really enjoys extreme quaintness in a getaway. Keep it simple,lavish at points, quite and peaceful at times, and mostly a relaxing comfortable expierence and you have me won as life long customer. On my voyage to visit to relatives in the Brenham area I decided to stay at Holly House by way of reading up on whats new to Brenham. My initial thought was I might be paying a bit more than a motel or hotel abd would I get my value and enjoyment out of the stay? Well, lets just say... I was more than impressed! The open rooms and large entertainment area in the living room were quite a pkeasure to entertain my family and guest during my vacation stay at this part of my trip. The house topped some of the 5 star resorts where I have stayed in times past and the host Susan was a genuine pleasure to associate any needs that I had during my venture. Clean,neat, and RELAXING would sum up my stay, and value wise.... I will be back! It was a definite Value winner when I sat on the huge porch and had coffee with mother nature.😊

Perfect Hostess for your Texas Stay!

Susan was the perfect hostess during our stay last fall. She was an excellent communicator prior to arriving being sure all of our needs were met prior to our cross country journey. Upon arrival, we found fresh robes on our beds, tons of foods in the fridge including the our allergy needs accommodated in the pantry. These added touches have keep her on our list of musts when we return to her area! Thanks so much!

About the host

Hosted by Susan McGee

Host profile image
It was my life long dream to own and operate a bed and breakfast. I love people and making them feel right at home. When I considered retirement from my career in financial services, I knew that I wanted to pursue my dream. When I found Holle House, I knew it had just the right feel for what I wanted to share with others. Although the floor plan did not lend itself to a B&B, it was perfect for a family or groups of friends to stay and enjoy each others company. I still have the joy of meeting guests from all over the world and giving them a sense of warmth and welcome here with special touches and attention to every detail. Come and let Historic Holle House be your home away from home, and a place to make great new memories of your own!

Why they chose this property

I chose to purchase this property for a vacation rental because of it's unique architectural details, it's desirable location in a quiet neighborhood, yet only blocks to historic downtown and Blinn college campus. I also love the large half acre lot, which this beautiful historic home sits on.

What makes this property unique

Historic Holle House has all the beautiful architectural details of yesteryear with all the modern amenities of today. We provide delicious breakfast goodies, fresh flowers and everything needed for a relaxing and comfortable stay. The home is situated on a park like half acre lot, in a quiet residential neighborhood that is just blocks from downtown Brenham. The house is stocked with everything needed to prepare and serve a gourmet meal, but also has plenty of paper and plastic ware for easy convenience. We also stock plenty of paper towels, foil and plastic wrap, baggies, etc. We also have a large programmable coffee pot, plus an espresso/cappuccino maker, in addition to our large selection of teas. Come and make Historic Holle House your home away from home!
