Romantic Getaways Near Houston

One of our favorite places for weddings is the Blisswood Oasis. Nestled in the rolling prairies of Texas Hill Country, the Oasis is a romantic retreat reminiscent of a tropical paradise. A wonderful wrought-iron greenhouse known as the Conservatory houses an intimate pool surrounded by lush, tropical flowers. A waterfall fills the space with the sound of cascading water. Perhaps you will choose to have your ceremony in the nearby Orchid House, surrounded by the ethereal beauty and heady fragrance of these remarkable flowers. It is an ideal place for weddings in Texas, and for romantic getaways in Texas after the ceremony.

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. You may even decide this is the place for your upcoming Texas wedding; if so, don’t hesitate to speak with us about arrangements. We enjoy hosting weddings in Texas.
