For over 160 years, The Kendall has been embedded in the local culture of Boerne, serving as the hospitality destination for visitors to the area. This rich history of service to the Boerne community is still what is driving The Kendall forward today. Following a significant renovation, this charming boutique inn formerly known as the “Ye Kendall Inn” is ready to serve top-quality hospitality to a new era of Boerne travelers and residents.
The history of The Kendall begins April 23, 1859 when Erastus and Sarah Reed purchased the land for $200. During this time there weren’t regular hotels for travelers. However, the few homeowners of the town shared their spare rooms. This is where the Reed’s hotel tradition began - renting out their spare rooms in the Old Reed House. The grounds around the house served as a wagon yard for ranchers who penned their cattle in what is now the City Park, awaiting other cattle for a big drive up the trail.
Today, The Kendall still sits upon this gorgeous location along Cibolo Creek in the heart of Boerne’s downtown historic district. Located just steps away from the now bustling “Hill Country Mile” section of Main Street, The Kendall has the ideal location to share the true “Boerne Experience” with their guests.
In 2018 the new owners of The Kendall renovated the 34 historic rooms on the property. Each room is uniquely decorated, blending contemporary hill country style with their singular historic charm. Not only do these selections include the elegant rooms and suites of the historic inn, but also a delightful assortment of log cabins, cottages, and other historic buildings that have been repurposed into beautiful boutique lodging.
The Kendall offers private event venues including ballroom and meeting space in their newly renovated Kendall Halle, as well as two must-see outdoor venues in the Courtyard and Creekside Gazebo.
The Kendall is proud of their contribution of service to our community with a mission to accommodate guests’ desires through care, kindness, and sincerity. “We welcome you to The Kendall - the ultimate hill country experience.”
