Daisy's Assessment
Researched and verified. Not yet personally stayed.
A restored 1900s mansion just north of downtown near the University of Texas, with an outdoor pool, free cabanas and Goodall's Kitchen. It suits travellers who want boutique character and a big dog without a big fee. Two dogs of any size are taken for a one-time fifty dollars. The food and drink outlets are out.

Why it's in the collection

The mansion grounds give you green space on site, and the Shoal Creek Trail and Pease District Park, which has off-lead areas, are a short walk for a cool morning outing.

Two dogs of any size, no cats, and never left alone in the room.
