I can't stop thinking about our stay here in mid March of this year!! My boyfriend and I visited…read moreMineola for a wedding and decided to try to book a hotel last minute - (not thinking that Mineola is a small town and there is NOT a plethora of hotel options! Ha!). My whole family ended up staying at the Best Western (which I heard NOT the best choice after their stay...) and we were in a hunt to find an affordable option that didn't include infestations of ANY sorts. We stumbled upon the Munzesheimer Manor on Hotels.com and I was slightly hesitant from the price, but there was only one room available (The Kringle Cottage) in the entire town and I emailed an inquiry to Ashlee. Just from her email, I felt sincerely welcomed and right at home, so even though the price was a little more than we initially wanted to pay, we booked! My next email to her had to deal with food preferences. The last thing I wanted to be was a bother, but since the price included breakfast, I thought I would ask if she would have any options without meat, dairy, or egg (vegan). I was happy to make other accommodations if that wasn't an option, but she happily emailed me back with an "of course!" without hesitation. We were THRILLED. She mentioned that she had a gluten free guest staying that same weekend and she is always cooking for allergies or preferences. So not only was Ashlee going to provide us with food, but when we got back from the wedding, there were freshly baked vegan brownies on our bed! (Jaw dropped with hungry drool!). In the morning she greeted us on our porch with hot tea (our preference over coffee) and at 9am we walked into the dining room to gourmet meals and beautifully set table with freshly squeezed OJ, maple chia seed pudding with fresh fruit, and German pancakes with a fresh strawberry drizzle. (Food cherubs singing!!) Besides the food and fabulous service, our Kringle Cottage was the cutest damn thing west of the Mississippi!! We had our own little porch with swing and all, a claw foot tub with an adorable heated furnace nearby, and the year-round comfort (I don't care how old you are!) of Christmas decorations and cheer! It was the BEST B&B/hotel/motel stay we have EVER had! If you are even thinking twice about booking a room here or thinking of swinging through this sweet little town, PLEASE DO!! If we ever drive up to Dallas again, we will be going out of our way to stay here! :) Can't say enough about the sweet southern hospitality we received.

This review concerns the restaurant. It was the second time a friend and I dined there. I didn't…read morewrite a review the first time because I thought the flavorless shrimp and grits was a fluke. The grits were not seasoned and there were huge 25 cent piece sized lumps. We ate there a second time and our meal was like prison food. My friend's pasta Alfredo with chicken looked watery. He said the chicken was dry and tough. It was made with obviously store bought pasta and there was no garnish. It was a big white bowl of white and off white food. Throw some parsley on it! My salmon and rice were okay. Not hot but lukewarm. The fish was thoroughly cooked, but fish needs to be slightly undercooked to maintain moisture. Anyway, the macaroni and cheese made me laugh. It was extremely watery. The bottom had lumps of chewy cheese. I realized the chef didn't know how to make a basic white sauce and incorporate the cheese into into it as one should. I think he mixed cheese and hot water together. I still can't believe it. We were the only ones in the restaurant. My drink was an old fashioned. It tasted as if it was watered down. There isn't a mixer in that drink so it needed to be stronger. We will never dine at that restaurant ever again. The server/chef was very sweet, but he needs to learn more about cooking.

My wife and I stayed for three days and slept better than we have in years…read more Kind of like staying at your grandmother's country house this was nice and rustic and incredibly peaceful. Five stars for everything including perfect, honest descriptions on the website. Helped me find exactly what I was looking for. Full kitchen and nice A/C. Updated bathroom with nice shower. There is a TV with digital broadcast and a dvd player. New where it needs to be and antique where it should be. Our stay was serene amongst old farm buildings, a creek, small ponds and lots of wildlife. Nearest neighbors are acres away including a local cop (we heard) and a couple of farmers. Mineola is about 10 minutes away and filled our weekend with restaurants and small town shopping. We also hit Winnsboro, TX about 30 minutes away to view some of our old family's residences from back in the day. Being in the event business, I could appreciate how the proprietor took one of the large barns and turned it into an open air special event facility with lighting, small stage, bar, picnic area and a clean smooth new floor for catering, weddings, concerts and reunions. If I lived in that area, I would use the heck out of it. The coordinator or the guest of honor and family could stay on site in the cottage while the rest of the party could stay in town at the ever expanding group of hotels. I think it would be cool to tent camp with some other couples out here with the cottage as home base. (haven't asked the owner yet.)

Check-in was smooth. The hotel was hosting a wedding so the lobby was completely full and busy; however, the front desk clerk was still very pleasant and even gave me a room away from the large wedding party so that I would be minimally disturbed.

Also had a bar/grill with limited hours. Location is great and convenient to have the Loves in the same lot. Note: the breakfast on Monday morning was just reheated breakfast from the previous day (everything was badly dried out). Pet friendly was a huge plus! It was easy to take my dog out the side door too. My room had a dirty ceiling (didn't notice until I woke up) and there were lots of black hairs in my shower. But besides that it was a very clean hotel. They have early check in and late check out which is also amazing! I will definitely be back to stay again when I'm there.
