My family and I went on a road trip across Texas to hike in Big Bend and stopped halfway down and…read morethen again halfway back. We wanted to stay in unique places and I feel so incredibly lucky that I saw this place!! The entire experience started off so nicely when Kim (one of the owners) called us the day we were arriving to ask about our arrival time so her or her husband Mark could be there to welcome us, and she also offered to make us an early continental breakfast since we were leaving before 8am the next day. It was so kind, but we declined because we were good to grab food on the road so we could get home. But that level of customer service and genuine kindness was a perfect example of our stay! Mark met us and gave us a tour of the BEAUTIFUL house, told us about the history, showed us historical photos they got from the granddaughter of the man who first built it. He offered us wine and coffee and the best banana bread I've ever had (seriously I need to email them for the recipe), and he even let us meet his puppy which made my daughter so happy! The house itself is incredible. Mark and Kim did an impossible task renovating it from abandoned nightmare to a breathtaking home that feels luxurious and so special. It really would be perfect for a small family celebration or wedding! Our favorite parts were the atrium in the center of the house that still had the 100+ year old birds of paradise plants that the original owner brought there from Guatemala, and the fact that their beautiful Christmas decorations were still up. We were extra lucky to be the only people staying there, so we really had the run of the house and got to hang out in their gorgeous living room to enjoy the Christmas decor and watch a movie together on our tablet. Everything was clean, the beds were so comfy, the amenities were awesome, the owners are SO SWEET, and Mulberry Manor is one of the most beautiful places I've ever stayed. We've been home a few days and my daughter is still talking about it! If you get the chance, I cannot recommend it enough!

It has all the modern conveniences you could dream of, and yet still maintains the charm and integrity of being an antique home. I can't get over the wallpaper in the bathroom, the leather chairs and bed, and everything else. Not to mention the kitchen and the open areas for sitting are perfection as well. Terry- the owner, is a wonderful host that isn't intrusive but adds his own charm to the place. With his eye for detail, and his passion for Abilene history, you can see it throughout the house. He gives you a brief overview, and it will make you appreciate the home that much more. Also the breakfast he makes are pretty divine. We had breakfast souffle's and they were addictive. To be honest- the home made us so happy to be there and relax it was hard to leave- both during the stay and when we had to head home. I just wish there was a Sayles Landmark everywhere I traveled.
