5 Best Bed and Breakfast in Houston (2026)

Independently ranked by our review of ratings, reviews and reputation · How we chose

By Lorian Hartfield, Real Estate and Financial Expert · ✓ Data verified July 2026 · 8 min read

Booking a bed and breakfast in Houston is a gamble on strangers running someone else's home, and the reviews are the only real evidence you get before you hand over a deposit. Between them, the properties on this page have logged 859 reviews, and the ratings only range from 4.3 to 4.9, so the gap that actually matters is how many people have weighed in, not the stars.

Short answer: La Maison in Midtown leads at 4.9 stars across 221 reviews, a three-story Midtown property known for its cooked-to-order Southern breakfast and walkable location. Sara's Inn on the Boulevard has the deepest track record at 272 reviews (4.7) and has run for over 35 years in the Heights. Maple Creek Bed and Breakfast, out in Tomball, matches La Maison's 4.9 on a smaller base of 96 reviews and adds a pool, game room, and farm-fresh breakfast.

Our take: The top spot here is earned on rating alone, but its review base is the smallest of the two highest-rated properties. Worth booking for the location and the breakfast, both of which reviewers keep coming back to.

Sara's Inn on the Boulevard has operated in Houston's Heights neighborhood for more than 35 years, built inside a historic home four miles from downtown.

Maple Creek Bed and Breakfast

4.996 Google reviews

Maple Creek Bed and Breakfast sits on 5.5 acres outside Houston in Tomball, pairing a countryside setting with a large saltwater pool, a private pond, and a game room stocked with pool and ping-pong tables. Rooms include flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and check-in snacks, and two upstairs suites add whirlpool tubs. Breakfast is cooked fresh each morning, and reviewers repeatedly mention it as a highlight, including eggs sourced from the property's own farm.

What people praise

Matches the top rating at 4.9 stars
Large pool, game room, and pond set it apart from in-city options
Homemade breakfast reviewers call a genuine highlight, including farm-fresh eggs
Hosts Mike and Becky named specifically as attentive and accommodating

Worth knowing

Smallest review base on this list, so the 4.9 rests on fewer data points than most

Our take: The rating ties for first, but on roughly a third of the reviews behind it. Worth it if a pool and quiet acreage matter more to you than staying inside the city.

Modern B & B

4.3138 Google reviews

The site describes it as a community setting for artists, innovators, and travelers, with organic food service and rooms that lean toward an artistic, unconventional aesthetic rather than a traditional inn.

Reviewers highlight a cooked-to-order breakfast, including a well-liked omelet
Walkable to the Menil Collection and nearby restaurants
Distinctive decor and an artsy, community-driven atmosphere
Friendly, hands-on owners mentioned across several reviews

Worth knowing

A few reviewers were surprised by shared or communal-style room configurations

How we rank these stays

Rating is the live Google average for each property. Review volume measures how many guests have actually rated the stay, which we weigh against the rating itself: a 4.9 built on 20 reviews carries less confidence than a 4.7 built on 250. Confidence blends both. Recency checks how recently guests have still been reviewing the property, so a stay that hasn’t been reviewed in years scores lower even with a great average. No business can pay to change any of these numbers.

How much does a Houston bed and breakfast cost? (2026)

Pricing at a bed and breakfast depends heavily on the room type, season, and whether breakfast is included on-site. Rates for Houston-area B&Bs typically run from around $150 to $350 a night depending on the property and room, with suites and whirlpool rooms priced above standard queens. Always confirm current rates directly with the property, since seasonal events (conventions, holidays) push prices up quickly.

Serving Houston and the surrounding area

These stays spread from Midtown and the Heights, both an easy walk to restaurants and nightlife, out to Tomball on the northwest edge of the metro for a quieter, countryside pace. Whichever neighborhood you’re searching from, a Houston bed and breakfast near me search should turn up at least one of these five within a short drive.

What to ask before you book a B&B

Is breakfast served on-site, and can it accommodate dietary restrictions?
Is parking included and on the property?
What’s the cancellation policy, especially around events and conventions?
Are bathrooms private or shared with other guests?
Is the property accessible if stairs are a concern?
What’s the noise level like, especially if the property hosts events?

Frequently asked questions

Are these rankings paid?

No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner (badge and top placement), but that never changes another business’s score or position.

How did you choose these bed and breakfasts?

We pulled every B&B and inn Google surfaces for Houston, then ranked them by real, live Google ratings and review counts, weighted for how recently guests have been reviewing each property.

How often is this updated?

This list was last verified in July 2026 and is refreshed periodically as ratings and review counts change.

Do any of these B&Bs serve breakfast on-site?

Most do. La Maison in Midtown and Maple Creek both serve a cooked breakfast each morning. Sara’s Inn on the Boulevard stopped serving breakfast on-site in 2020 and instead directs guests to nearby restaurants.

Is Houston Towers Inn suitable for families?

No. It’s an adults-only property, so families traveling with children should look at one of the other options on this list.

The bottom line

La Maison in Midtown is the safe default: highest rating, a real breakfast, and a walkable location. If you want more reviews behind the pick, Sara’s Inn has the deepest history in Houston. Either way, book directly with the property for the clearest cancellation terms.
