Nestled on 18 acres, the property features a stately historic home and a charming guest cottage, both surrounded by sweeping lawns, century-old oak trees, and endless Hill Country skies. With wide porches, cozy patios, and glowing sunsets, this is the perfect setting for gathering with friends and family or enjoying a peaceful evening under the stars.

WOW! We loved this property and told everyone we could about how nice it is. Every room, bathroom, closet, kitchen drawer, cabinet, etc. was perfectly appointed. We had 14 people stay with us as we were in town for my daughter's wedding at a private property in Lometa. The Adelphia not only had a wonderful story and history, but it was perfect for 14 family , to come together to prepare, celebrate and relax after a major family event. The location was off the beaten path, but still close to town and everything we needed. When I discovered I had left something I had printed for the wedding at home, management helped me get what I needed to get on my way. We will be back! Thank you for the pride you take in your property; it shows in every little detail. We were all so WOWED!
