The Whistler Bed and Breakfast

 

The Whistler Bed and Breakfast (C) Joni Staples 

Take a step back in time when you stay at The Whistler Bed and Breakfast  in historic Huntsville, Texas.  You will enjoy original antique furniture and decorations that have been in the owner’s family for years.  


 

The Whistler Bed and Breakfast was originally known as the Eastham Thomason Home.  James Thomason began construction of it in 1859.  In 1869 it was purchased by Byrd Eastham. I am told that one of Eastham’s descendants eventually married a Thomason bringing the home full circle. ☺

This beautiful, old home sits on 3 secluded acres, just two blocks from downtown Huntsville.


 

Sit under the massive, old pecan tree and read a book, or swing on the front porch with a glass of iced tea.


 

If you’re into history, take the walking tour of the home and learn the history of the furniture in each room. There are many historic sites in and around Huntsville to visit such as the Sam Houston Memorial Museum Complex, Sam Houston’s Grave, the Austin College Building, and many others. To see a complete list of Walker County Historical Markers click here.


 

The Whistler Bed and Breakfast makes a great romantic weekend getaway... and is also perfect for other special occasions such as, anniversaries, family reunions, honeymoons, receptions, and weddings.


 

The Whistler Bed and Breakfast is located at 906 Avenue M. For reservations or more information, call Mary Thomason Clegg at (936) 295-2834 or (936) 577-0280.

Hi Joni,

Good post. That is a beautiful looking home. If my wife and I are ever out that way it would certainly be a place we would love to stay at.

Steve: My husband and I rented it when we were married so that all of his family coming in from out of town could stay there and enjoy time together. They are pretty spread out and this was perfect for them. They absolutely LOVED it.

Joni, this sounds like a special place.  I have only stayed at on Bed and Breakfast and it was a very different experience than a traditional stay at a Hotel.

Endre: I have a sister-in-law that does her best to ALWAYS stay in a bed and breakfast. She says it is the way to go.

Rebecca: I'm thinking that it would make a GREAT quick little romantic weekend getaway! It would make a great anniversary gift for a parent!

George: I have never stayed in a bed and breakfast. We rented this one for my family, but they filled it up and we did not personally stay there. THEY LOVED IT!.

Joan: It is. It is very secluded even though you are practically in the heart of downtown Huntsville.
