    What an amazing place

    May 25, 2013

    Blisswood Bed and Breakfast is top notch! My girlfriend ( now fiance' ) and I went over to Blisswood last weekend, and we had just a wonderful time. The room was clean, and very neat, well organized. We went and ate at Ms. Carol's restaraunt, and it was fantastic. The next day we went on a horseback ride to the Enchanted Lake where I proposed to my now fiance'. Ms. Carol as well as everyone at Blisswood took very good care of us, and we cannot thank them enough.

    Log Cabin

    May 14, 2013

    My husband, my son and I stayed at Blisswood in the Log Cabin last weekend, it was perfect! We were close to the action with all the farm animals right by us. The peacocks were absolutely gorgeous and so funny looking at their reflection in our car! We are very big dog lovers so being able to hang out with Cookie and Sassy all weekend was a treat since our own pups stayed at home for the weekend. We went on a horseback ride, I got to ride the beautiful Romantica! And Juan took us on a fishing excursion. We at dinner at Carols restaurant and it was delicious! We loved every minute of our time at Blisswood and can't wait to go back!

    Anniversary Weekend

    April 30, 2013

    My husband and I had the most relaxing and fun 2 days at Blisswood to celebrate our anniversary! We stayed in the Enchanted Cabin which was so peaceful and romantic. We took advantage of several of the activities that were available to us. We really appreciate the folks that helped to make our stay so memorable. Tommy's patience and instruction helped to make our skeet shooting experience fun for me and challanging for my husband. Armando was our guide for horseback riding, he did an awesome job. My husband commented "that this was the most enjoyable horseback riding that he has ever done"! I'd like to also send a big thank you to Skeeter! His patience and wonderful personality during my archery debut made for such an enjoyable time. We also had a picnic under the gazebo, did some fishing and ate a wonderful dinner at Carol's Resturant on Friday. Our entire weekend provided such happy memories that I will always cherish. Thank you Carol.

    Honeymoon happiness

    April 26, 2013

    My husband and I stayed in the enchanted cabin just last weekend, it was amazing. We went horseback riding , did some archery, and had a couples massage. We also enjoyed a romantic picnic in the gazebo, and enjoyed riding around the ranch in the golf cart that we rented. Blisswood was great and somewhere we plan on going back to the next chance we get. The help was sweet and very accommodating. The cabin we stayed in was very clean and relaxing. This is a perfect place to go and relax to enjoy our significant other.

    Weekend Getaway

    April 01, 2013

    My Girlfriend and I had the privilege of staying at Blisswood a couple of weeks ago. We stayed in the Maui Suite at the Oasis and we had an absolutely wonderful time there. Carol was extremely friendly and accommodating, as was everyone else we came in contact with. The food at Carol's Restaurant was outstanding, compliments to the chef, and Arturo was an absolute delight as our waiter. Our experience has definitely turned us into guests and friends for life, we will ABSOLUTELY be back again. A note to the people complaining about creeky floors and foliage everywhere: THIS IS A RANCH, NOT THE RITZ CARLTON. That is exactly why we decided to come here. We wanted to get away from all the noise and busyness of the city, and get back to the country lifestyle that I grew up with. The sound of boots on an elevated wood floor brought me back to my childhood days. We were also able to bring our 160 lbs Great Dane with us on this trip, and he also had the time of his life. He was able to come along with us when we went horse back riding, skeet shooting, and on our bike ride around the ranch.

    Babymoon Bliss

    March 26, 2013

    We wanted to do a babymoon before our first child arrived, and since I couldn't really travel far, this was the perfect distance and package. We happened to be there during Valentine's Day, and it was a wonderful, unique experience for us. We went bass fishing, did archery, had a picnic at the gazebo, and had a massage (reflexology for me) at the bungalow. We stayed at the Bluebonnet Bungalow, and it was perfect for us. It's nice to have the privacy away from the norm, and the fact there was no TV and WIFI helped us focus on us. It was a great change of pace. Dinner at Carol's Restaurant was also a nice experience. Even the water was the best water ever! Being pregnant, I was very careful about what I ate, and Carol was very accommodating about that when I requested something different. It was a great experience, and I would definitely come back here, maybe next time with our daughter after she's born and old enough to enjoy the activities.

    BlissWood-The Great Escape

    March 23, 2013

    My husband & I own our own businesses in Houston, so to get away from all the hustle and bustle, no phone calls, no worries, no stress is something we have come to appreciate. To drive just a little over an hour to get this, is priceless! Thank you Carol for offering that to us! We have now been there 4 times and plan on going there next weekend for Easter. We are taking my parents and our 2 kids. We plan on making family traditions at this place. We celebrated my Birthday last week, my best B'day yet! We also took my daughter there on her 1st family vacation when she was only 2wks old, got the most amazing pics w/her & nature, using just a blanket and antique bonnet that we had purchased at Mustang Alley (a local antique shop...A Must-Do when visiting Cat Springs). Another Must-Do is having dinner at Carol's. The food is amazing (I'm talking 5 STAR), romantic atmosphere, and friendly & pleasant staff. We have stayed in Farmhouse & Lanai House. Both have 2 completely different feels, but equally wonderful. At the Farmhouse we got to enjoy the roaming animals, went for a horseback ride, had a picnic at the gazebo, went fishing, and paddle boated. At the Lanai House, we sat on the porch enjoyed a glass of wine and listened to the waterfall that was 20ft. in front of us, took a walk by the stream, swam in a secluded pool in this rainforest like green house- YOUR OWN PRIVATE PARADISE! Another thing my husband & I like to do while there is reading the Guestbook. It's filled with touching stories & experiences. You laugh. You cry. You relate. You feel apart of them because you have experienced something that is sacred and few have experienced. I can't tell you which I prefer over the other, it is a toss up. Hope you enjoy as much as we do, so Carol can keep offering family traditions to to all our families. Sincerely, Michelle Beavan P.S. Carol, if you are reading this, please sign me up first, if you ever decide to do a Frequent Flyer's Club.
