Do we have to bring our own towels and sheets?
No. All houses are fully furnished with towels and sheets/pillowcases.

Are there Televisions in the houses? 
NoTVs.  BlissWood was created as a place of rest and relaxation, without the distractions of our everyday lives; therefore, most of the houses do not have TVs or telephones. You may bring your own TV to get a few local channels. AT&T cell phones work the best here in the country.

Are all activities at BlissWood available year-round?
Most all activities are available year-round.  Depending on season and other circumstances, some may not be available. Activities are for guests only and must be prearranged at the time of making reservations.

Where do we go for horseback riding?
Horseback rides begin at the Red Barn, and when you make reservations, a map of the ranch is included with your confirmation so that you may find the Red Barn.

Can anyone use the Dot Trot House swimming pool? 
The on-site pool at the Dog Trot House is for Dog Trot House guests only.

Is there anything special I need to know?

Accommodations are not equipped with WiFi.  You can get Internet service in the area of the Show Barn.  Because we honor your privacy and we are a working ranch, you may not see anybody except occasionally a ranch hand going by.  We want it that way so you can enjoy our quiet environment, and BlissWood was created just for that purpose.  Please also understand that you are in the country, and you will encounter critters and things that were here long before we were.  We just honor their space and co-exist peacefully with them.  Also our country roads are bumpy and you will encounter those bumps.  We think it adds to our country atmosphere and charm here, as we are not a pristine country club.  We are located on a ranch in the country.
