The Mansion on 17th formerly Schaefer Haus

Loved it, will be back!

Liked: Everything is so lovely! There is so much character within the mansion. Staff are wonderful, breakfast cooked to order. Loved it!
Disliked: The ONLY downfall is something that cannot be controlled, the stairs as the only option. It wasn’t enough to hinder a future visit by any means but it can be difficult to carry luggage up flights of stairs.

It was decent.

Liked: We were in room #6. There was no view whatsoever and the room looked like it needed soom TLC. I dropped a ring and had to look under the table and bed, it was so dusty and dirty. The bathroom was decent. The service was great though. The staff was helpful and friendly.
Disliked: The attic room was so small, cramped, no views and not very clean.The property itself was very nice. The dining room and veranda were really nice. The staff was great!

People are great!!!

An oasis of charm and...

Liked: I could not have dreamed up a more perfect place to enjoy Galveston. The mansion is gorgeous, down to the finest details. Breakfast was a delicious, intimate affair; there are only seven rooms, so the breakfast room has seven tables; I had the avocado toast and my husband had the Quiche Lorraine. Everything was divine, including the coffee.Cocktail hour was delightful, too; our hostess made cocktails to order and regaled us with Galveston history and recommendations for dinner.Our room had a peaceful, private balcony overlooking the neighborhood full of jaw-dropping Victorian homes. We were a short walk to the Strand with all its shopping and dining. It was an absolute oasis and I can't wait to go back!

Liked: Here I found nothing but perfection. The service is extraordinary, the house is beautiful, and the neighborhood is a gem. Aaron is an extraordinary person who was attentive to our needs; his recommendations exceeded our expectations. He also took us on a magnificent tour; my husband and I enjoyed one of the most beautiful sunsets in recent memory. Discovering Galveston and the interesting stories of ghosts and pirates with Aaron was a treasure. He is an extraordinary photographer.. Thank you for making this celebratory trip a memorable one.
