A Legacy Rooted in History

A Legacy Rooted in History

The story of The Kendall began on April 23, 1859, when John James sold the land to Erastus and Sarah Reed for just $200. Soon after, the Reeds built the original center section of the Inn as their home, introducing Southern Colonial architecture to the heart of the Texas Hill Country.

In an era before formal hotels, hospitality meant opening your doors to travelers. The Reeds did just that—welcoming horsemen and stagecoach riders into their spare rooms, planting the seeds of what would become a treasured tradition. Their home, known as the Old Reed House, quickly became a haven for weary guests, while the surrounding grounds served as a wagon yard for ranchers preparing for long cattle drives.

Today, The Kendall stands as both a Texas and National Historic Landmark. Its halls have hosted countless guests over the decades, including President Dwight D. Eisenhower—proof that true hospitality always stands the test of time.
