The Page House, Georgetown, Texas


Formerly the largest bed and breakfast in Georgetown, today the Page House serves as a special events venue, one conveniently located adjacent to Interstate 35. This grand Queen Anne style home dates back to 1903 when it was owned by J.M. Page, a former gold prospector, rancher, and postmaster.

Eventually the grand three-story structure became the property of the Horace M. Weir family. Under their ownership, the house and grounds had their most unique role: home of "Cowboy Polo." Stables became a training center for the cutting horses used as polo ponies in a game identical to the original -- but with the addition of cowboy regalia.

Today the polo barn has been converted to a meeting center for up to 125 guests. The home itself has the been the site of many elegant weddings; brides find a changing room upstairs and a grand staircase to descend and begin their new life.


Location: 1000 Leander Rd., Georgetown
