In Short This inn is named for the bluff on which it sits, which takes a steep, dramatic drop into Shoal Creek. It is less than 10 blocks from both the State Capitol and the University of Texas campus. The location is convenient, but removed from the bustle of downtown. Cable TV, wireless Internet and salon products are all offered here. Rooms are divided between the Main House and... more

Plenty of places purport to be rural oases in an urban desert. In the case of this self-proclaimed "country inn in the city," the boast is justified (or, as they say in Texas, "it ain't braggin' if it's true"). Occupying a verdant acre on a rise at the end of a quiet street near the University of Texas, this 1877 house exudes country charm. But that doesn't mean it's lacking citified amenities.... more

My husband and I recently went here for the first time. When we drove up, the first thing I noticed was the wrap around porch and the little white lights all over the trees in the spacious yard. A gazebo, beautiful benches and plants, the place was an oasis. We were running late to check in, but Phoebe (the owner) had cookies out and showed us around, encouraged us to help outselves to snacks... more

Carrington's is a wonderful B&B. The place is beautiful and well-kept. Phoebe the owner, is very friendly and makes you feel right at home. Her breakfasts were delicious! The afternoon fresh cookies were great too. We also took advantage of the Blue Bell ice cream and wine in the fridge. The location was superb, close to all we wanted to see. We had a great time and would certainly come... more
