Summer Special at Texas Guest Ranch

Monday, August 16th, 2010

There are a few weeks left to take advantage of the Hot Summer Special at our Houston Texas Guest Ranch. Guests who stay for two nights (Sunday – Thursday) between now and September 2 enjoy 20% off; stay for a third night at 50% off. In addition, you’ll be automatically entered to win two nights at the Legendary Inns of Newport, in Newport Rhode Island.

Take a few days off to enjoy the last weeks of summer. Explore the 650-acres of our Central Texas Vacation Ranch on horseback. Share a romantic picnic – complete with champagne and chocolate-dipped strawberries – in our gazebo on the lake. Try your hand at archery, or simply curl up with a good book on your shaded porch.

Cook for yourself in your cabin, or wander over to Carol’s Restaurant, which features amazing Texas cuisine. Tuck into sweet potato fries, cool off with chilled watermelon gazpacho, and try a Cornish Game Hen with jalapeno cream. The atmosphere is always fun and casual, and guests of the bed and breakfast rub shoulders with locals.

Come for a romantic getaway with the person you love, or bring your whole family. Children will love exploring the ranch before heading back to school, and parents will love having the kids to themselves. Couples may find romance in a hot-air balloon ride over the lovely Texas landscape, or walking hand in hand under the oaks.

It doesn’t really matter what you do once you are here – what matters is that you come in the first place.

Are You Expecting a Spring Baby?

Monday, March 1st, 2010

We are all anticipating the rebirth of spring here at our Houston area guest ranch, which makes our thoughts turn to our Babymoon special.

Be pampered before you break out the pampers.

The arrival of a child is a blessed event, and one that will be remembered and celebrated the rest of your lives. The weeks and months after the birth of your child will be filled with many joyous moments, along with many sleepless ones. The meaning of time will change. Some days you’ll feel triumphant simply because you managed to take a shower, make your bed and prepare dinner. Other days, you won’t.

We can’t make everything go smoothly for you after the baby is born. We can, however, help you to feel relaxed and pampered before baby arrives, which can make a big difference during delivery and those first weeks.

Our Babymoon special delivers “Bliss Before Baby”. When the nursery is ready and you have nothing to do but wait, head to our Houston area b&b for two nights of relaxing romance. Enjoy sparkling cider, chocolate-dipped strawberries (eat enough for two!), and flowers. Treat yourselves to a picnic at the Gazebo by Enchanted Lake, and linger over a gourmet dinner at our Cat Spring restaurant. Remove all stress with hand or foot relfexology, and convince the future dad to have a massage. After all, dads bend over changing tables, too.

Take this time for yourselves, even if you have other children. As families expand, sometimes mom and dad can forget that one of the most important things they can do for their family is to care of themselves.

Give Romance for Valentine’s

Monday, January 18th, 2010

Now is the right time to plan a Romantic Weekend at our Texas guest ranch with your sweetie. After all, Valentine’s Day is right around the corner; can you think of a better way to say “I love you” than to whisk your darling off her/his feet for a night or two?

Have you ever spent the night on a Texas guest ranch? It is incredibly peaceful here. You’ll drift off to sleep listening to the breeze caressing live oaks. You’ll awaken to birdsong. You’ll find the time and the space to truly appreciate one another.

We offer a number of guest ranch specials to tempt the romantic in you; the Romance Special and the Valentine’s Day Special seem appropriate right now, but it may also be the right time to renew your vows, treat your sweetie to a horseback ride and picnic, or surprise him/her with a massage. We will strive to meet your romance requirements, whether they be champagne in the room, a horseback ride/wine picnic, or a dinner out.

Some people place a great deal of importance on Valentine’s Day, and some don’t. Yet everyone appreciates it when the person they love takes the time to plan something special. So why not do that this year?

There are miles of peaceful trails and country roads to explore on your bicycle. Rent a rowboat and spend a morning lazing on the water. Blisswood is the perfect place to come for your romantic getaways in Texas, especially if you and your sweetie enjoy being active in the outdoors.

Blisswood has lots of wide open space for you to explore on foot, as well. Or go for something even more romantic: a horseback ride. Roam through nearly 650 acres of meadows and oak forests, across creeks, and past soothing ponds. See Blisswood Activities for more details about our guided rides.

What could be a better way to woo your sweetheart than a romantic ride in a hot air balloon? Plan your trip through Texas Air Adventures, and spend an afternoon gliding over the scenic landscape of South Central Texas. Then have a delicious candlelit dinner at Carol’s at Cat Springs restaurant.

At Blisswood Bed and Breakfast, even sitting on your porch is relaxing and romantic. So take a break from the daily grind and have a romantic few days here.

It is spring, and folks are fleeing the city to come to our Texas Bed and Breakfast in the peaceful, relaxing countryside.
