    My boyfriend and I went here as he surprised me for my 30th birthday. Of course, we fell in love with stories of the house and stared at all of the old gadgets. The thing that holds it apart from everywhere else is the gratitude and service from Rick and Alla. They are splendid and make you feel as if you are visiting home. Alla is a wonderful cook and host! Late one night when we had our meals already there was a new couple we came to greet. She quickly got out some plain ole potato chips and waffle cookies for us so we would not feel left out! We cannot wait to return. The beds are so soft, the environment is so inviting and the hosts are stellar.

    I travel all over America for work & stay in B &Bs & Inns often; Alla's is by far the best experience I've ever had. If you are into natural, homemade cooking, then THE FOOD is the highlight. From her homemade mulberry jam (straight from her mulberry tree) to her homemade yogurt, grown from imported Bulgarian cultures, there's no end to the culinary surprises. Every morning we were served sumptuous crepes with homemade sweet cheese, huge, juicy pieces of ham or bacon; the potatoes were prepared differently every day -- pancakes, croquettes, diced with vegetables and spices. I requested a small side of oatmeal & to my delight, Alla made the best oatmeal I'd ever tasted -- slow cooking, steel cut on "non-pasturized" milk with her magic jams. The next day she treated me with her special "millet" imported from Ukraine & the last day was 2.5 hours, slow cooked rice pudding with different nuts and spices I cannot remember as I thought I'd died & gone to heaven. Advice: book a dinner with Alla, but give her a minimum of 1.5 days in advance as she goes to the market & buys everything fresh and takes HOURS to cook the meat. YUMMMMMMM.... The antique wonderland is just the background setting for the best home cooking in Texas!

    Delightful and Delicious!!!!!

    We stayed at Alla's for New Year's Eve and had the best time!! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcome and relaxed. Alla told us the history of the house and showed us her and Rick's lovely, unique antiques. We especially loved the beautiful music box in the dining room. We sat in the kitchen after a tour of the house and had a delicious homemade snack and a glass of wine as we visited with these charming innkeepers. We loved our room, enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub while sipping wine and eating chocolates, and relished the ambiance of the inviting living area. We were greeted the next morning with the most delicious, organic homemade breakfast! Alla made the most fantastic crepes, potatoes, and eggs all from scratch. The coffee was imported from Europe and served in an antique coffee warmer. A beautiful platter of fruit and homemade jams were in the center of the table. The meal was truly an Epicurean delight! Alla and Rick are delightful and engaging hosts. We definitely plan to return to this exceptional bed and breakfast!!

    Amazing Food!

    Stayed at Alla's for my wife's birthday. Alla and Rick were very welcoming. It was our best B&B stay so far. I wish we lived next them. After one stay it felt like we were friends. The place has great antiques from the plumbing fixtures to the tv's to the beautiful beds. Okay, now I'll get down to the food. We were served wonderful horsdouvres(spelling?) upon a late evening arrival. I wish I could make bread, cheese, and tomatoes taste half that good. Then, there was the breakfast served at our desired late morning hour. As the web site says, the European breakfast was all organic. I can't comment on the large plate of perfectly presented fresh looking fruit because there just wasn't room in my big belly for it after plate fulls of potatoes, crepes, and bacon. I had to try each of the home made jams after sampling the first on a crepe. The fantastic potatoes made me think I was indulging myself with excess salt. Later, our discussion led Alla to say that her fresh mix of herbs(perfect by the way) makes it unnecessary to use much salt. I hope we get back to Texas and can eat dinner one night
