What Our Guests Are Saying

What a wonderful stay. Bed was super comfortable. Room was very clean and plenty of space. Common spaces were welcoming and nice. Such a beautiful place to stay. So happy I found this little gem!

The Gallery House is a very beautiful home. It is one block from the campus of Tarleton State University which made my weekend activities easy and I was able to walk to all of my events versus trying to find parking. The house has a private parking lot. Very easy access. I especially loved the pumpkin bread that was waiting for me in the room, freshly ground coffee for the coffee maker, and feeling of being home as soon as I entered the room. The bed is very comfortable and I had no issues getting to sleep. Book the Gallery House for your next visit to Stephenville, I know that I will be staying here again.

Kason is incredibly responsive, and we always enjoy our stays! It’s such a charming and convenient spot. Thank you for making another one of our visits so special! We look forward to staying again! 💜

Such a wonderful stay! The host was incredibly welcoming and made the whole experience feel warm and thoughtful from the moment I arrived. The fresh-baked goodies were such a sweet bonus - and the snickerdoodle cookies were AMAZING. I had to have two and seriously had to stop myself from eating them all! 😂 Little touches like that really made the stay feel extra special. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it!

We arrived in Stephenville mid evening and decided to stay the night. I did a quick online search and found Boutique Hotel. The pricing was comparable to many of the chain hotels but the customer feedback and ratings was far superior. After our stay, I see why. The place is beautiful and the host goes the extra mile. I highly recommend both.
