A house with history—restored, not erased
Built in the late 1800s, the main house still carries the bones that make a Victorian stay feel special: tall ceilings, real wood details, and the kind of layout you don’t find in modern builds.
The point wasn’t to scrub the past away. It was to keep the soul of the home intact and deliver a reliable, clean, easy place to land in Bonham.
You get the historic vibe without “historic problems”—clear directions, clear policies, and direct support when you need it.
