About the host
Hosted by Pennie Robertson
We purchased this iconic historical hotel in July 2021. We are truly blessed to be able to reopen this gem for the world to see. Many historical resources, information, famous civil war hero's and others have stayed here. We love to give a tour and share the history with our guests. Our family picture is from the Dec 2022 Candlelight Tour of Castroville. Our family opened the doors to the community and beyond for a night we will all cherish for a lifetime. We hope you choose to stay at our beautiful historic hotel and make memories of your own.
