If you love old, Victorian-style houses, there’s a bed and breakfast in Texas with your name on it. Nestled in the heart of the East Texas Piney Woods, the Woldert-Spence Manor is a beautifully restored inn dating to 1859. With antique furniture and ornate stained-glass windows, staying here is like taking a step back in time. It might be the oldest and most charming bed and breakfast in Texas!

Welcome to the Woldert-Spence Manor, the oldest bed and breakfast in Tyler.

Built in 1859 and beautifully restored in 1992, the manor first served as the private family home of second-generation German immigrants.
Despite being renovated, the manor has retained much of its original, Victorian-style charm.

Guests have seven bedrooms to choose from, each one accommodating between two and three guests. There is also a carriage house, which features nearly 700 square feet of living space and reserved parking, available. Up to four people can sleep in the carriage house.
Antique furniture whisks you back to the days of yore, and either a queen or king-size bed is perfect for cozying up after a full day of bopping around town.
