I can't stop thinking about our stay here in mid March of this year!! My boyfriend and I visited…read moreMineola for a wedding and decided to try to book a hotel last minute - (not thinking that Mineola is a small town and there is NOT a plethora of hotel options! Ha!). My whole family ended up staying at the Best Western (which I heard NOT the best choice after their stay...) and we were in a hunt to find an affordable option that didn't include infestations of ANY sorts. We stumbled upon the Munzesheimer Manor on Hotels.com and I was slightly hesitant from the price, but there was only one room available (The Kringle Cottage) in the entire town and I emailed an inquiry to Ashlee. Just from her email, I felt sincerely welcomed and right at home, so even though the price was a little more than we initially wanted to pay, we booked! My next email to her had to deal with food preferences. The last thing I wanted to be was a bother, but since the price included breakfast, I thought I would ask if she would have any options without meat, dairy, or egg (vegan). I was happy to make other accommodations if that wasn't an option, but she happily emailed me back with an "of course!" without hesitation. We were THRILLED. She mentioned that she had a gluten free guest staying that same weekend and she is always cooking for allergies or preferences. So not only was Ashlee going to provide us with food, but when we got back from the wedding, there were freshly baked vegan brownies on our bed! (Jaw dropped with hungry drool!). In the morning she greeted us on our porch with hot tea (our preference over coffee) and at 9am we walked into the dining room to gourmet meals and beautifully set table with freshly squeezed OJ, maple chia seed pudding with fresh fruit, and German pancakes with a fresh strawberry drizzle. (Food cherubs singing!!) Besides the food and fabulous service, our Kringle Cottage was the cutest damn thing west of the Mississippi!! We had our own little porch with swing and all, a claw foot tub with an adorable heated furnace nearby, and the year-round comfort (I don't care how old you are!) of Christmas decorations and cheer! It was the BEST B&B/hotel/motel stay we have EVER had! If you are even thinking twice about booking a room here or thinking of swinging through this sweet little town, PLEASE DO!! If we ever drive up to Dallas again, we will be going out of our way to stay here! :) Can't say enough about the sweet southern hospitality we received.

Pretty much a "ditto" for Heather H.'s review. This B&B is an easy drive from the Canton trade…read moredays, and it's a beautiful place to stay. I understand that they will be raising their rates, but in doing so, the manor is adding a host of amenities and new constructions. I am very excited for all the Bret and Ashlee will accomplish in 2015 with the place, and I am very pleased they are continuing to work with local community businesses to create a properous community in Mineola. If you take the Amtrak train to Mineola, you can even walk to the manor from the train, although I'm sure the Ungers could arrange transportation. Bret and Ashlee go far out of their way to make guests feel at home and relaxed at the manor, and they love to talk about the manor's history and about the Grand Saline/Mineola area. Make sure you attend breakfast every day. The food is wonderful (I'm glad they're changing back to the beignet coffee!) and the hospitality will make your vacation excellent.

I meant to review this B&B last year because our hosts were so charming and accommodating. Getting…read morearound to it late but would like to say this is a comfortable place to stay. The breakfasts are fantastic. We are vegetarians and advised Barbara no need to do anything special for us. But wow! She went out of her way to create some crazy good breakfasts we could eat. Stuff we would never do for ourselves! They are always ready to give ideas of things to do around town. If you have mobility issues the cottage with the stairs may not be for you. Otherwise, this was a lovely alternative to a hotel and very close to the convention center.

Recently my husband, son, and I went to Tyler TX. We wanted to stay in a Bed and Breakfast there…read more Got to the place and checked in and unpacked then decided to go to lunch. Our son Taven, who has ABS to his left arm, was asleep on daddy's shoulder. We were stopped on our way out because the owner noticed our son. She then went on to tell us that they do not allow children under the age of 13. Apparently, we missed that policy on their page. She said she had nothing for him to sleep on and I said we have his pack n play. She then says she doesn't have highchairs, and I said we have his highchair. She asked if we read her list of policies and my husband said he must have missed that. She kept going on about not having anything for babies and again I said we have all of that. She checked her reservation list and saw that it showed we had a 1-year-old with us. She then tells us she wished we had called her to notify her of this. 1. Your site at booking allowed us to reserve it. 2. You are the one who reviews all reservations so you should have noticed the issue upfront and called us. My husband then said we can process a refund right now and go elsewhere. She said no we can try this. She just didn't want to bother the other people in the house. I said he is teething right now, and he will just sleep a lot. Her response was, "Oh because you have him drugged"? I said oh "Um no, I just give him Ibuprofen to help with the pain. This is just what he does when he doesn't feel well". And this is where I had no idea what to do. She then reached out and grabbed my son's left arm and said oh he's missing an appendage. I calmly (no idea why or how) said yes, he was born that way. I had ABS. She said she never heard of that before and so I explained it. She then stared at all of us and said Well congratulations, I guess. At that point she let us leave and we found another place to stay. I have never had another person reach out and touch my son and comment on how his hand is missing. I was so uncomfortable and upset I had no idea what to say or do. No person or child should ever be touched by a stranger and have their Lucky Fin pointed out like something horrible happened. We ended up being charged $50 as a deposit. My husband called the Manor (because we were told we would be refunded) to talk with the owner and she said it's non-refundable. He asked "Even though you were in the wrong as well"? and she said yes. She was very rude and disrespectful to my husband and hung up on him. I DO NOT recommend staying at this place.

This is a fun place to visit, tons of history and a nice married couple own and run it. I went here…read morewith my mom for a Christmas Tea and it was kinda neat. If you can get 15 people to pay in advance to attend one of their tea parties, that's your reservation requirement. I think you can do all that on their website. I also heard they have a Cabin on site that they will let people use and I'm not sure what the price per night is on that. I don't think they advertise the cabin either. There is an antique shop on site as well. I wanna say the price per person for the Tea party with a tour is $35 each. Some of the guests really dress up and wear fancy hats but it's totally up to them. I did dress up and wear a hat at my mother's request and it was fun. I took a pair of flats too, because there are stairs and you walk around the property so heels are not great for that. The Tea and tour takes several hours, ours was from 2 to 5 pm. My favorite part was looking at all the period furniture and decor in the house and the interesting ghost story from the upstairs bedroom. The food was fine but I kinda wanted something more filling. It was typical of a tea so I guess it was ok. We drank Tea, had finger sandwiches ( egg salad, ham salad, chicken salad) a scone with jam and some petit fours for dessert. There is one restroom for guests downstairs so you may have to wait a few minutes. Still it was fun and I would return.

We stayed in the small cabin they use as a B&B for 2 nights. The owners are very friendly and…read moreaccommodating. The cabin has all the comforts of home in a charming, rustic atmosphere. Very comfortable queen bed. DVD player and a variety of movies, comfortable rockers. A small kitchen with a microwave and mini fridge, sink and coffee maker. A Very nice bathroom with a shower only with plush towels. There is a very nice front porch with 2 rockers to enjoy the evening , although you may want to have mosquito spray available. You can even enjoy a walk through the woods nearby. Very quiet and peaceful, a nice place to unplug from TV but still connect to Internet with a strong signal. You have the choice of a full breakfast or continental breakfast . We had one of each. Full breakfast of eggs, sausage, hot biscuits and cheese grits, at the main house along with a tour of same, which was interesting. Continental breakfast is orange juice and muffins in the cabin. We will definitely go again.
