celebrate your next special event in style

historic bed & breakfast and an elegant event venue

We are very pleased to offer the elegance of San Gabriel House Bed & Breakfast and Garden for not only our overnight guests, but also for weddings and receptions, baby showers, birthday parties, private tea parties, meetings, and other events. Enhance your indoor event with the historic ambiance of a century-old Arts-and-Crafts mansion, graced with distinctive woodwork, beveled and stained glass features, and elegant formal rooms. Expand onto our beautiful courtyard gardens for larger gatherings, where pecan and elm trees shade patios of hand-laid flagstone and concrete, serene private landscaping and manicured lawns.
