Hubs and I had a nice, quiet weekend at this hidden gem of a property. Antler Inn was comfortable and even though the ac struggled (but it was August in Texas and everything suffers). Ceiling fans and two ac fans made things comfortable though. The inn was furnished with antique and lived-in furniture, and again…things were comfortable. The pool was the cool and peaceful oasis I needed, and the reason for our getaway trip. Plenty of shade from mature trees and plantings made for lovely afternoons doing nothing. Lounge and table/chair seating beneath umbrellas was perfect.Kitchen basics are provided, and we brought drinks and snacks, but we mostly ate out and ordered in one night. Gail gave plenty of restaurant suggestions. The small fridge had no freezer but we bought a bag of ice each day. My one issue was the swinging saloon doors on the bathroom, but we gave each other private time and hung out on the porch or under the pergola. While the area is economically disadvantaged, we did not feel unsafe at all. The property has been in the family for nearly a hundred years, and has been well tended and curated. As it is a large property, there are a handful of outdoor cameras that monitor the gated entry, the pool, and building of creditors. There are four total rental units that had a mix of short term and longterm tenants, but I felt as if we almost had the place to ourselves. The estate is private, with lots of trees and native plantings, and I’d definitely stay here again.
