Historically the building is known as the Ingenhuett-Faust hotel. Designed by noted architect Alfred Giles and built for Peter Joseph Ingenhuett, it is now called The Comfort Common. Featured in articles by magazines and major newspapers such as Travel and Leisure, Southern Living, Country Home, Texas Highways, Texas Monthly, The Houston Chronicle, and The Dallas Morning News, The Comfort Common has been lovingly restored to its original grandeur. Today, the magnificent structure is home to an exquisite B&B and a complex of antique shops. The grounds of the structure are surrounded with period outbuildings of architectural styles ranging from log cabins to Victorian cottages to early Texas barns. Owners Jim Lord and Bobby Dent welcome guests to roam the old rooms within the hotel where tastefully displayed American country antiques, quilts, rugs, pottery and accessories bid that they be taken away. A stroll through the courtyard encourages rest inside the c. 1894 gazebo while a walk through fragrant gardens of healthful herbs and flowers beckons from across a picket fence. Here you will find antique and reproduction garden items such as; garden tools, bee skeps, watering cans, buckets, garden markers, and garden accessories. A winding path leads to the cluster of outbuildings, each home to unique shops where treasures such as antique architectural pieces can be found. |

With so much to see and experience, the temptation is to tarry a day or two. The Comfort Common is the perfect base for exploring the Texas Hill Country with Fredericksburg, Boerne, Kerrville, Bandera and San Antonio all just a brief 15 to 30 minutes
away. Available are rooms, suites and cottages, all with private baths and all decorated with antiques. A full breakfast is included in your stay. The Comfort Common was recently selected by Fodor's Travel Publications as one of The Southwest's Bes t Bed & Breakfasts in their third edition guide of the same name. Only 42 B&B's in the entire state of Texas were selected. |
