Carr Mansion

11 Most Romantic Getaways in Texas, from Desert Casitas to Historic Mansions

"Take a step back in time at this 19th century Greek Revival mansion turned bed-and-breakfast. The eclectic, yet modern design (you won’t find any doilies here) combines clawfoot tubs and antique light fixtures with nautical elements, like a gallery wall of painted seascapes. The Newlyweds room or detached Carriage House offer the most privacy, but you’ll want to hang out in the communal spaces too; curl up with a book in the parlor or sip cocktails on the rocking chair–filled veranda. In the morning, fill up on made-to-order delicacies like truffle hashbrowns and pecan pancakes before borrowing bikes and heading to the beach or The Strand, a historic district with quaint shops and saltwater taffy." - Tommie Ethington
