    We had our first stay at BlissWood this past weekend but it will not be our last! Driving up to the Enchanted Cabin for a Valentines weekend was not only truly enchanting but had the feel of coming home. That feeling was multiplied infinitely when we met the staff and shared our meals at Carols. BlissWood is a little slice of heaven just outside the hustle and bustle of Houston that makes you feel as though you have traveled to a far away land.

    We couldn't have asked for a better experience.

    We purchased the elopement package! It was more than I ever could have asked for! Everything was taken care of when we got there so we were able to relax and soak up the beautiful scenery under century old oak trees. The house we stayed in was private and very relaxing. It made the whole experience a breeze. Our ceremony took place early in the afternoon and the setting was completely perfect. If you are looking for a stress-free all inclusive was to elope while still maintaining your privacy this is the way to go. It was like a honeymoon up until and after the wedding ceremony. Plus I got to pet a Kangaroo.

    BlissWood is Great Fun and Relaxing Too

    We just came back from a great family weekend at BlissWood; fishing, hiking, petting the animals and just enjoying each others company. We stayed at the Cozy Loft in the Dog Trot House, and it was really quite charming. I highly recommend BlissWood B&B, and I hope we can go again in the near future. Carol and the staff are great, and the food at Carol's Restraunt is fabulous! Thank you all for a wonderful weekend!

    A perfect weekend retreat!

    I found out about Blisswood through a Groupon deal...called the owner, Carol...and she helped me select a cabin for our anniversary weekend stay. She suggested Harriet's House, which was perfect. Harriet's and about 5 others are not located on the main ranch property, but 2 miles down the road at a place called The Oasis. Harriet's was spacious and comfy. Great bed, well-stocked kitchen, spotless bathroom...all the essentials for a good stay! There is no TV, so bring a book, some cards, music, whatever you enjoy to relax. The ranch is beautiful, and we enjoyed walking around looking at the property and the animals. This is NOT a place to come if you expect to be waited on and catered to...most of the time, in fact, you won't even see anyone around except another guest occasionally. This is a true escape from the city life, noise, traffic, and electronics. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay, and I would recommend it for anyone needing an escape.

    Peaceful and Relaxing Blisswood

    Whatever you do you have to visit Blisswood. What a great place to relax, enjoy by yourself or with others. Everything and everyone was perfect from the exploring we did, sleeping in an extra comfortable bed and wow those sheets were like sleeping on a cloud. Our picnic in the gazebo the next day was very special to me and my boyfriend and we recomend it to anyone that wants to get away from all the crazyness of the big city. Please take time to visit Blisswoods website and find out for yourself how special this place is. Carol the owner will make you feel like family and you will want to go back time and time again. I know I will!!! Doreen Pike
