Story


This Victorian Hotel with 8 guest rooms, restaurant, saloon & landscaped grounds is an easy two hour drive from Houston, Dallas or Austin. Rooms feature king or queen beds, private baths/whirlpool tubs, movie channels, WiFi and full breakfast. Chef/owner Susan Warmuth purchased the hotel in 1999 and serves world class dining for lunch Tuesday through Friday from 11 to 2, dinner Tuesday through Saturday from 6 to 9 & Sunday Brunch from 11 to 2.

Originally named the Shapira Hotel, the 104-year-old hotel consists of two Sears & Roebuck “kit houses” purchased at the 1903 World’s Fair. The Eastlake and Queen Ann houses face each other, joined by upper and lower parlors. During construction of the hotel, Jake Shapira stepped on a nail and died of tetanus. His wife Sarah operated the hotel until 1922. Clara Wills purchased and renamed it the Wills Hotel in 1928. The Depression, a World War, the abandonment of the rail line and the new focus on interstate travel and motels led to the demise of the property and it closed in 1974.

Completely restored in 1980 by Randy Parten and renamed after a local geological oil layer, the hotel now boasts 12,000 “fish scale” cedar siding, a standing seamed metal roof, restored native yellow pine woodwork and wrap-around porches. The building entered the National Register of Historic Places in 1980 and became a Texas Historic Landmark in 1982.

Their Sunday brunch is wonderful!.!. It's $13.00 for all you can eat., desserts included....salad, fresh fruits, whipped potatoes and gravy, pork tenderloin in a tasty gravy, p. rib, catfish, clams, chicken fried steak, and wonderful melt in your mouth desserts! the owners and wait staff have my utmost appreciation for the personal and pleasant attitudes and service EVERY TIME I'm there. Their rooms are comparable to your nicer hotels, but with a more personal and comfy feeling.... if you re ever near Madisonville , please stop in to spend the night or just to dine...its a wonderful experience either way.!!

The Woodbine Hotel and restaurant is a hidden gem. I travel alot for work and typically stay in chain hotels, however once I found our about the Woodbine from a local recommendation, I stopped by for dinner. Rebeca provided excellent service on Thursday's prime rib night. I met Susan, the proprietor... Long story short i have never quite felt like im at home when i travel until I found the woodbine. Stay for dinner or the night and breakfast. (Chef Leon cooks an excellent one)... its hard to go home when you feel you already are there.
