Fodor's Expert Review Oge House

This gorgeous bed-and-breakfast sits on 1½ acres that back up to a quiet section of the river running through the King William Historic District. From the first steps up the wide staircase to the first-floor veranda, the house captures your imagination about what life must have been like in South Texas in the 1850s. Each room is individually decorated; yours might have a four-poster carved-wood bed, toile upholstery, period antiques, and Oriental rugs. Modern conveniences include flat-panel TVs with digital cable and wireless high-speed Internet access; all "Superior" rooms and suites have electric log fireplaces. The quiet garden and grounds offer many places to relax.
