The Instagram-worthy escape will make you never want to leave, but wineries and delicious Southern fare are just a short drive away.

We loved our stay here. The backyard fire pit and games were great for hanging out in the evening. We had fun listening to the jukebox. The property manger was very prompt in responding to our questions. We would stay here again.

Best Little Gas Station

We thoroughly enjoyed and will stay again if we make it back that way. It is such a unique home. All the decor was amazing. Very nostalgic! We are all of the generation that had Sinclair stations. The beds were very comfortable and everything was top notch.

This unique property was perfectly transformed into a 3 bedroom, 2 bath home. The Sinclair included everything we needed, from extra towels and blankets to a fully stocked kitchen including even coffee filters, cooking oil, and a few spices. We loved the period decor--Sinclair-themed art, an old jukebox, even the little dinosaur. Even though there are tons of windows, the place is perfectly private, with mirrored glass on the outside and blackout shades on the inside. AC worked great during our August visit.

What fun

We really enjoyed our stay at the Sinclair.We got back from shopping all day in Round Top right before the rain. It was a cozy and safe retreat. The bedrooms are quiet and dark which was great for our littlest traveler. We enjoyed getting bakery goods in AM and Lucy’s was very good too. Because of the weather we opted to not head back to Round Top but instead enjoyed a painted church and Garden Co.A lot to do in the area…We loved our stay!

Awesome getaway

We came in for the Cattle Country Music Festival my husband and I and 3 teenage girls. We found this place last minute we always like somewhere different to stay and this was up our alley. Coolest place they did a great job restoring the Sinclair down to the little details to make you feel at home. We will definitely re book and recommend it to friends and family.

Wonderful stay!

We had an excellent time at the Sinclair! It is furnished perfectly with everything you might need or want. Your towels were so soft and the beds were all super comfortable. The host was friendly and check in and check out was smooth. We enjoyed the roof top deck in the evenings. It was centrally located to some great restaurants and a couple of wineries. The painted church tour and Shiner brewery were easy to find. We would stay here again for sure! Highly recommend!!

When times were slower.

Amazing place to stay that really brings you back to the days when things were a little slower paced. Lots of old car and gas station memorabilia that is decorated very nicely. The highway 90 out front was very quite and not real busy. Train is close by but did not bother or effect us in the least. Front outdoor area nice to relax with coffee and start the day and the backyard area with firepit is a great place to end that day. Everything was clean and tidy with plenty of necessary supplies. Will definitely recommend to friends as a neat get a way in Schulenburg TX!!!

What A Cutie!

My husband and I were in town for a wedding and what a cute place to stay. We were so happy to find this little gem. The pictures are exactly what you get and the decorations were perfect. The place was extremely clean and all appliances and kitchen cookware, utensils and gadgets were top notch. If you're looking for a place to stay in Schulenburg, look no further than The Sinclair. We loved it!
