Escape for a Romantic Texas Getaway

Accessibility Statement

BlissWood Bed and Breakfast Ranch warmly welcomes all guest. However, the “antique” nature of our cabins restricts full ADA compliance. Removal of certain physical barriers of accessibility is not readily achievable as doing so would threaten the significance of the property.

However, we welcome and make arrangements for all guests! With prior notice, the following cabins and houses can accommodate those needing wheelchair assistance: Magnolia Suite in the Dog Trot House, Lehmann House, StarView Cowboy Cabin, and Mystic Woods Cabin.

Parking is available in front of each of these cabins and houses and an entrance ramp can be secured for step navigation. If you require other items please inform us prior to your stay, and we will be happy to work with you to assure a pleasant and comfortable experience.

We work to ensure every guest who wishes to visit can do so regardless of their physical abilities. Among other ways we comply with ADA:

• We ensure that individuals with disabilities can make reservations during the same hours and in the same manner as individuals without disabilities.
• We have identified and described accessible features and inaccessible features in our bed and breakfast and guest rooms in detail to allow individuals with disabilities to determine whether our property meets their needs.
• We ensure that accessible guest rooms are held for use by individuals with disabilities until all other guest rooms of that type have been rented.
• We guarantee that a specific accessible guest room, once reserved, is held for the reserving customer. We make reasonable efforts with third-party reservation systems to make accessible rooms available through at least some of these services and they must provide these third-party services with information concerning the accessible features of the hotel and the accessible rooms.
• Guests with legitimate service animals as defined in the ADA will be provided access to all areas of the inn afforded to those without service animal.

Damage Policy

Any damages done to any BlissWood property by guests or persons visiting or staying with guests or any damages done by pets will be the responsibility of the person who made the reservation, and by your confirmation of the receipt of e-mail from BlissWood, you agree to make restitution for such damage.

We appreciate it and thank you for being respectful of those added amenities for your enjoyment in some of our lodgings.

Very Important Vehicle Tip

Please stay on the interior ranch roads (in your own vehicles or golf carts). Driving off the roads or in the pastures puts you at risk for getting stuck, wet or dry, as we have sandy soil. If you do get stuck, a wrecker will need to be called to assist you, and you will be responsible for the wrecker’s charges.

Please note that these photographers are not employed by or affiliated with BlissWood B&B Ranch and we cannot guarantee their availability or quality of service.

Allergies

BlissWood does not assume responsibility for special circumstances due to people having allergic reactions to anything related to the property. It is possible that BlissWood personnel or previous guests may have prepared foods that some people are allergic to, such as foods containing peanuts, on our property. Although our properties are thoroughly cleaned regularly, anyone with allergies or special conditions are warned that BlissWood will not be held responsible for any health problems. Persons should also consider that this is a working ranch, and as such has many different species of animals and plants on the property that some people may find they are allergic to.

Dangers

Being a large working ranch, there are inherent dangers on the property. Considerations for safety should be taken by visitors at all times. You may encounter insects, spiders, snakes, and animals (some quite large) that can possibly pose a serious threat to humans. Visitors are responsible for their own safety and should take necessary precautions while visiting our ranch. (As examples; please don’t try to pet the Bison or swim in our lakes. If hiking, beware of thorns, insects, beehives, snakes, etc.). If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact us for detailed information.
