WTSC 0001: The 2008 Business of the Year in Salado Texas – Inn on the Creek – with William Lowery
February 6, 2009
Embella just completed a Podcast Interview with Will Lowery, co-owner of Inn on the Creek, in Salado Texas. He has been involved in the bed and breakfast business for five years now and just recently, the Inn was recognized as the 2008 Business of the Year by the Salado Chamber of Commerce.
Reminiscent of a turn-of-the-century private club, innkeepers Will Lowery and Chris Spradley are redefining the art of pampering with special attention given to individual guest needs and preferences. Whether it is a unique dietary requirement or accommodating a security detail for a foreign dignitary, the innkeepers take specific note of every preference and desire for future visits to the Inn.
Lowery and Spradley partnered to offer Central Texas travelers an exceptional guest experience within an intimate, historic setting. Their vision to combine the ultimate in southern hospitality with premier guest services, broadband Internet access, multiple meeting and conference rooms, and gourmet dining culminated into what is today – Inn on the Creek.
The Inn has three lodging facilities—Main Manor, Holland House and Giles-Kindred House—each offering a unique guest experience.
Main Manor:
The original structure was restored and opened in March 1987. The Main Manor is nestled along the creek with a canopy of trees featuring seven exquisite guest rooms all with full baths.
Holland House:
Originally constructed in nearby Holland, Texas, now the house is situated across the street from the Main Manor. Restoration was completed in 1993, featuring five elegant guest rooms.
Giles-Kindred House:
The Giles-Kindred House is perfect for families or small groups. The Giles-Kindred House is ideal for those seeking quiet, secluded privacy.
Corporate Retreat Accommodations:
Whether your company needs to present a PowerPoint presentation over a gourmet meal, or simply needs a private meeting room to accomplish what never seems to be able to happen “at the office,” Inn on the Creek is the perfect retreat. The Inn provides an elegant & tranquil setting for corporate entertaining. The Inn’s facilities are designed to be flexible for individual corporate needs. Broadband connectivity is simply a click away in the conference rooms and library, as well as creek side. Private dining rooms overlook historic Salado Creek with professional staff to attend to your needs.
Dining & Catering:
The Inn features a specialty restaurant serving gourmet cuisine every Friday and Saturday evening by reservation, and by special request during weeknights. These facilities are perfect for weddings, business functions and retreats.
The Inn’s History:
The Inn is nestled along the banks of Salado Creek in historic Salado, Texas. The older section of the Inn was originally constructed in 1882 in nearby Cameron, Texas. The structure was doubled in size in 1985-86 after being moved to its present location.
The other adjacent structures had been moved from Belton, Holland, and Georgetown. The original wood details, trim and doors have been carefully cleaned and restored. The interiors are exquisitely renovated, with close attention to every detail. For more information or a reservation, visit www.inncreek.com.
