The Space:

WHY GUESTS BOOK THIS PROPERTY

Ellie Marie House LITE is the romantic, sun-filled main floor of a beautifully restored 1890s historic home in the heart of Seguin. Morning light pours through the original leaded glass windows, the wood floors have that authentic historic creak, and the porch is the kind of spot where a weekend actually slows down. It's an easy, close-to-home escape for couples driving in from Austin or San Antonio who want a break from the city without a long trip to get there - walkable to downtown, quiet enough to actually unplug, and thoughtfully updated with modern comforts throughout.
