“The Cutty Sark at Clipper House Inn, Kemah”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 2, 2012

We spent two weeks in the Cutty Sark in November 2012. It suited us very well as we were in Texas to visit family, who could not accommodate us. The Cutty Sark had everything we needed for a two week stay, including a very comfortable bed. It is sited well away from the traffic in a peaceful area less than ten minutes walk from The Boardwalk. There is a Target, and other stores, less than ten minutes away, on foot and Barbara and Jerry, the Innkeepers, were very welcoming and hospitable. There is a very pleasant garden area with seats and a pool in the complex of 1930s cottages. If we get back to that area of Texas I would have no hesitation in returning to The Clipper House Inn.

Room Tip: The Cutty Sark has a kitchen with oven and fridge, which made us choose it over the other cottages...

“Absolutely lovely”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 27, 2012

I'm not a bed and breakfast kind of girl but this place is just wonderful. Barbara decorated the room with a mini Christmas tree that just delighted my two year old. The location is just perfect - very near the Boardwalk with easy access to the main road. I would love to make this place an after Thanksgiving tradition. There is a mini fridge, microwave, coffee maker as well as utensils and plates in the cabinet! Very well thought out and welcoming :)

“Everything I expected and More!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

We really enjoyed our weekend stay here. The accomodations were excellent, but the personal attention we received from Barbara and Jerry was exceptional. Made us feel very welcomed and appreciated. I would highly recommend the Clipper House Inn. We will definitely be back! Thanks Barbara for the informative wine tour and recommendations. I can't wait to make my blackberry bread.

“A WONDERFUL GET AWAY FOR COUPLES!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 24, 2012

My boyfriend surprised me with a romantic birthday get away at the Clipper House Inn. We spent four days staying in the Redoubtable cottage and what a wonderful time we had! Barbara and Jerry greeted us by name, showed us around the grounds and to our room and then gave us the peace we needed. We felt so welcomed and cared for, when we left it was like saying goodbye to life long friends! We enjoyed visiting the Clear Creek Winery where Coco really puts on a great breakfast. She went out of her way to welcome us and show us how wonderful the winery really is. We plan on returning again for his birthday, and I'm sure it will remain one of our favorite spots in the future.

“Relaxing!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

We spent Saturday evening at the Clipper House at Kemah Boardwalk in conjunction with attending a birthday party on the Boardwalk. The cottage, Redoubtable, was lovely. The wine cake Barbara made was delicious! Enjoyed the fresh fruit bowl too. The cottage was very clean. We will go back.
