Amazing place to kick back
We received a bottle of Texas Cabernet Sauvignon that was wonderful. We ate at the restaurant which Kyle made happen even though we did not have a reservation and really enjoyed the patio!!! We will be back! Very relaxing!!

5/5 Excellent

R&R Made to Order
Palmer House never ever disappoints. We are returning guests and Palmer House is officially my husband’s favorite place to stay. Mine too! We were greeted with a lovely chilled white wine that we enjoyed on the quaint patio. The house was immaculate. We stayed two nights and both evenings enjoyed dinner next door at Palmer’s. Both food and service were exceptional. Thank you, Kristin for the gift certificate that we applied to our visit at the restaurant. We look forward to our next stay.

5/5 Excellent

Perfect!
Nice, clean and quaint little guest house that is perfect for one or two adults. The communication with the owner is all electronic and response to any questions is very quick. Keyless remote entry, covered car port directly in front of unit. All amenities worked well. The dinner and Sunday brunch at the restaurant was excellent too ( with a $30 gift cert and bottle of Texas wine as an appetizer). Really, no complaints at all and highly recommended!
