The Chaska House & Cottages

This was our first experience with a B&B; we normally stay at a large chain-type hotel for the security and convenience, but thought we’d try something different this time. Our first impression was awe of this immaculate mansion, which is a step back in history. Everything is so clean and so well done, and it is furnished exactly like something out of a book. The themed rooms are very well thought out, appointed, and comfortable. I especially appreciated the claw foot tub to end the day soaking in. |However, the real magic of this place was Linda and Louis, the owners. Linda was so welcoming and friendly, and made us feel like family. Louis is very funny and made me LOL a couple of times. My wife had some emergency work come thru for some patients, and Linda and Louis went out of t

We had a wonderful stay at the Chaska House. Linda is an amazing host. The rooms were spacious, very clean and comfortable. The location can’t be beat with just a short walk to the center of town. We would definitely stay here again!

My husband and I were in Waxahachie visiting family there, and based on other reviews, decided to stay at the Chaska House. Best decision we could have made! Lou and Linda were such gracious hosts, sharing history about the House, and the town itself. The House itself is nothing short of a museum of treasures, with interesting items, books, photos, furniture, etc to discover everywhere you look …..yet, also provided all the modern conveniences you could possibly want. We stayed in the Twain Room - very spacious, large bath and vanity area, and very comfortable bed. Early risers, we very much appreciated the convenience of a Keurig right outside our room, with the fixings, as well as ice and glasses, soda and bottled water. During the pandemic, Linda started providing a voucher

Lewis and Linda are very gracious hosts and made us feel very welcome. A champagne toast the first evening was especially fun and a nice surprise. |We stayed in the Shakespeare room which was large, lovely and very clean. The shower is really large and the dressing table was a fun throwback. Our room had a balcony with two chaise lounge chairs overlooking the front yard and the pretty home across the street. The location is very close to the main downtown area with lots of cute restaurants and shops. If you are visiting Waxahachie this is the B&B to choose! Highly recommend!

My husband and I were traveling to Waxahachie to attend the wedding of a close friend on New Year’s Eve. We are so glad we planned our romantic getaway by staying several days at the Historic Waxahachie Landmark, The Chaska House, a luxury bed and breakfast, featured in Condé Nast magazine. Upon arrival, we were greeted by the owner, Linda. She was warm and welcoming as she gave us a tour and some history of the beautiful mansion. Each room and guest suite is named and themed after a classic author. We stayed in the romantic Will Shakespeare Room on the second floor with an antique ornately carved, king-size canopy bed draped with Renaissance curtains. The lovely large bathroom has a frameless glass shower and extra-large corner tub . We enjoyed the Texas sunsets on the private balcony off
