The Chaska House was built in 1900, reflecting the Revival Style and attitude that flourished in turn-of-the-century Waxahachie when "Cotton was King" and life was good. Texas Highways Magazine calls it "Victorian Splendor". Guestrooms and Cottage Suites are named after well-known authors with extensive decor and historic collections reflecting each author's lifestyle and works.

Waxahachie is located just 30 minutes south of Dallas and a 45 minute drive from DFW Airport. Dubbed "Gingerbread City" because of the numerous Victorian (gingerbread-style) homes built when "cotton was king", Waxahachie has served as the backdrop for over 30 films (3 Academy Award winners) and boasts dozens of boutiques & antiques shops, fabulous restaurants, and exciting events.

We are located just a short stroll to historic Waxahachie's town square bustling with shops, restaurants and the magnificent courthouse that James Michener called "a fairy tale palace—one of the finest buildings in Texas".
