Welcome

A different kind of
stopover

Gaines Oliphint House sits on a quiet stretch of Texas 21 in Sabine County — a place where the longleaf pines close in and the road feels miles from anywhere.

We opened our doors for travelers who want more than a place to sleep: a room with natural light, a bed that actually supports your back, and the kind of silence that lets you remember what you were thinking about before the world got loud again.

No chain-hotel uniformity. No rush. Just a well-kept home away from home, run by people who understand that hospitality is about attention, not amenities.

Warm guest room with natural light and minimalist furnishings
