Built in 1900, The Brooks House is one of the oldest homes in Mineola and was completely restored in 2015. This was theresidence of The Brooks family who owned the Cotton Gin and Brooks Department store downtown dating back to the early 1900's.

    The house was lovely and offered historic charm as well as modern comforts. It is walking distance to shops and restaurants. The hosts were attentive and gave clear and easy instructions. Note that the house is close to the railroad tracks and the occasional train can be heard, including in the middle of the night.

    We were in town for a wedding, it was a comfortable, clean and charming place to stay. Would have liked a few more towels but that was the only drawback.

    Not enough towels for 3 people and 3 days,Not enough wash cloths, creamer supplied for coffee lasted only 1 morning. Futon had no frame and sheets provided was one flat sheet.Under the rug, there was nothing but dust and dirt.the house itself was very nice, but the website description does not provide all things mentioned and is misleading
