yourself relaxing in this historic landmark home in the beautiful piney
woods of East Texas, located in Henderson, just minutes south of I-20 and
convenient to Dallas, Houston and Shreveport, Louisiana. In this unique
Bed & Breakfast, you and your guests 
can
get away from city congestion, visit the historic areas and antique shops
of East Texas, go gaming in fun-filled Bossier City, or just enjoy the
wildlife habitat and the quiet. Yet for all its luxury, the ambiance radiates
warmth and hominess.
Built
in 1913 and lavishly restored and decorated, this 5,000 square-foot showplace
on two floors features 5 palatial-size bedrooms, two with large private
sitting rooms, 3 baths, 3 wood-burning fireplaces, 10-foot ceilings and
gleaming original oak floors throughout. Upstairs there is also a cozy,
old-fashioned "sleeping porch" for those balmy evenings.
The large formal dining room will seat you and your guests in elegant dining comfort. A very large den, located next to the efficient kitchen and done in authentic southwestern motif, encourages you to relax and take your shoes off. The palace-size living area features a formal fireplace and multiple conversation areas.
A
large, terrazzo-floored foyer and sitting room with French doors open onto
the expansive main patio. Adjacent to the patio is a secluded hot-tub,
with Jacuzzi, on a raised, new planked deck. You can soak and relax as
you gaze at the stars through the trees while 
you
enjoy soft classical music in the background. Further back is a beautiful
adult swimming pool surrounded by a landscaped garden with fountain and
gold fish pond. All are enclosed by greenery and an antique wrought-iron
fence for your back yard privacy. If you desire a secluded sanctuary from
the fast paced, busy world you live in, this is a dream come true. The
property is set on one acre of land surrounded by towering pine and pecan
trees, and is landscaped with azaleas that stop traffic each spring.
As a special opportunity, the owner offers you an opportunity to purchase some of her many unique Objets d'Art, rare china pieces, teapots and porcelain, paintings and the like. These have been collected over many years of worldwide travel. Many are one-of-a-kind and are impossible to duplicate. All are of the finest quality and taste.
At
the Heritage House of Henderson, a Texas Main Street City, you will be
warmly greeted with refreshments on your arrival, and can relax to lovely
classical music in the Tea Room while you enjoy your favorite pot of tea
or cold glass of lemonade. A soak in the hot tub, or late night dip in
the refreshing pool, will relax you and put you in the mood for a peaceful
night's sleep in this elegant "Gone With the Wind" estate.
A
delicious full Southern breakfast or a heart-healthy choice is available
from 7:30am to 10:00am. Because your enjoyment and comfort is our top priority,
you can even order a "to go" picnic lunch for the next day. If you are
lucky enough to be in residence for Saturday High Tea from 3 to 5pm, complete
with English Scones with cream and jam, you will leave with beautiful memories
and plans for many happy returns.
Hardwood floors throughout the estate, air conditioning, turn down service if desired, art collections, silver, crystal and candles, and more...you will be treated elegantly and with respect for your privacy. Massage, manicure, pedicure and facial will be arranged to pamper you completely, if requested.
