About this property

Shop the first floor of this 1914 property filled with extraordinary antiques, Christmas and gifts before retreating to your private spaces. Revive your spirits in a steaming tub of healing salts and soak before you slip into luxurious linens on the immense antique beds of the second and third floors.


The veranda suite features a massive bedroom with a plantation made full-tester bed and in the adjoining room with cannon ball bed, both from the 1840's. The full tester bed is of local provenance.

The New Orleans room is spacious retreat with a magnificent antique mahogany queen-sized bed. The bed, a masterpiece of American furniture-making, was created in the 1850s for the New Orleans market and is signed by its maker, Charles Lee. The dream-weaver mattress was specially made to fit the over-queen sized proportions. Adjacent access to the master bath, complete with the original, massive soaking tub and illuminated by a crystal chandelier make the New Orleans room a favorite with guests.

The third floor loft apartment is a beautiful open space with a studio kitchen and full bath. The loft features a dining area, office and reading space, and sleeps up to four. It is a comfortable space with amazing views of downtown.

The entire house is equipped with wireless internet. At the center of the second floor. An ingenious redesign of the original linen closet now conceals a breakfast and wine bar, complete with coffee maker, microwave, fridge and flat screen tv.

The comfortable seating of the spacious porches and courtyards are the perfect places to relax and watch the world drift by.

Great place to experience small town Texas

Really cool historic house above an antique shop. The house was really spacious and great for facilitating my extended family, who had plenty of sleeping options. Rita, the property manager, was amazing. She gave us really good food recommendations as well as good company when we arrived.

Wow! .....Just.... Wow!

When you arrive at Laurel Ridge Inn, you do NOT feel like a visitor, but like a long lost friend, or relative, greeted warmly (but not effusively). Wrapped in the coziness of your arrival, you are escorted upstairs to your "home away" (truly!!) experience. Perhaps a home to which you are accustomed, or perhaps to home to which you aspire: Antique beds and exquisite accommodations. Barbara and her team treat you to a stay filled with attention to detail, and helpful information about the area. Whether you are visiting Gonzales for business or for pleasure, be sure to list Laurel Ridge at the top of your "must stay" destinations.

Immaculate Quarters with Old World Delight

I have been a loyal customer/fan of Laurel Ridge for the last several years now as my business frequently brings me to Gonzales. My overall impression: Laurel Ridge, Barbara (its owner) and her staff have never failed to offer anything but a stellar, top notch experience. Small-town Texas hospitality (the best kind) mixes with old world charm in a way that makes you want to kick off you shoes, relax on the veranda and soak it all in. Laurel Ridge is its own little world away from the world. A place` where you can leave the hustle and bustle of modern life behind and sink back into a calm, stress free environment, where even time seems to run a little slower. Sumptuously decorated with high quality, period appropriate antiques and beds piled high with luxurious linens, you'll feel that you've traveled back to a world where quality and good taste mattered. High end soaps and bath essentials, along with thick, plush towels, adorn the tastefully updated bathrooms, which still retain their period charm while having all the modern conveniences. Whether you've come to Gonzales for the history, the horse shows, the antiques or just to get away the big city, you couldn't find a more charming place to stay. And make sure and spend some time chatting with your host, Barbara. She's a true world citizen (a Gonzales hometown girl by birth, she spent many of her adult years living in Paris and London before returning home to open Laurel Ridge) and never ceases to charm and delight. She and her staff are as much the reason I keep returning to Laurel Ridge as is the majestic, old, historic house itself. By far, the hardest thing you'll have to do once you get to Laurel Ridge is leave.

Great historic home, very accomodating staff.

We very much enjoyed our stay in this lovely historic home. We were visiting our niece who lives in Gonzales and touring all the historic sites and museums. The owner was very hospitable and the staff at Laurel Ridge was great. We will stay here the next time we come to visit.

About the host

Hosted by Barbara Crozier, Owner

Host profile image
Our triplets on an outing at Palmetto Park just a few miles outside of Gonzales. It is one of my very favorite places and has been since I was their age. When you are done feasting, shopping, touring and tapping your foot to some great Texas music in downtown history-rich Gonzales, head to Palmetto State Park for some outdoor fun!

Why they chose this property

We love being close enough to downtown for our visitors to be able to walk to great restaurants, museums and shopping. But to tell the truth, this amazing place has been in my family for almost 50 years...It is a labor of love, and we love to share it.

What makes this property unique

The construction of this 1914 jewel of Gonzales is an amazing story it itself. With its solid brick columns and granite front porch, a sweeping, self-supported private veranda, along with a spacious deck the rooms of second floor provides the perfect setting for romantic getaways & family gatherings. The first floor sets the stage for what we call Shopping Sleepovers! The first floor shop offers fine American antique furniture of the 19th Century and Estate jewelry. Over a dozen regional artisans, along with some of the European glass and Christmas treasure filled the shelves to overflowing.
You can shop late, and sleep late all at the same historic property!
