BlissWood B&B Ranch

I would highly recommend visiting the BlissWood ranch! We decided to have our small wedding ceremony here and it was truly the best decision we could have made. We had such a beautiful experience. Carol and Skeeter were so kind, caring, and attentive. We stayed in the Hideaway Cabin. The cabin itself was stunning and so cozy, and the landscape was beautiful. We did not want to leave! Words cannot describe the happiness and serenity that we felt during our stay. We will definitely be returning. Thank you to Carol and Skeeter for making our experience so special and truly unforgettable!

Fantastic experience! Lovely little cabin tucked away on its own. The horse riding experience was amazing. Highly recommend. WIFI is $10 a day. Super setting for you and your partner to get away

I don't quite know where to start, so probably with the name - Blisswood. Yes, it is indeed absolute Bliss! Pre-booking and from booking to stay the communication was excellent and Carol answered all of our questions promptly. Maps were given beforehand and all the info we needed was available. Self-check in was an absolute breeze and the instructions were crystal clear, we personally love the whole hands off approach because it is Blisswood so we preferred the self-check in and no housekeeping during our stay. That being said, all the interaction we did have with staff around the ranch was very pleasant. Housekeeping - when we entered the cabin, it was exceptionally clean and the cabin has all the things (both big and small) that you need for a perfect stay. The grill, hot tub was great and the Starview cabin in general in my view is absolute perfection. I have to recommend the Starview Cabin because it has huge open space in front and you get all the sun (or can hide from it on the beautiful rocking chairs that I would have love to have stolen haha on the porch). The interior is incredible and both living and sleeping areas are amazing. The shower in one of the bedrooms is superior to the other so we did all use that, but there are the bath and showers in both rooms. The outdoor shower is also great, but as it was trellised on one side with folks passing (on horses or working) we were a little shy to use that in the day. Activities - we hired the fishing gear and loved it even though we are both useless at fishing. We did get a recommendation from the staff in passing one day that we should try a different pond and that is where we had our success. We wish we got the name of the young gentleman actually because he was so pleasant every time you passed or bumped into him on the grounds. We also did the horse riding and Jessica was a brilliant guide who was very patient with all three of us who had never ridden before, a beautiful way to see the incredible grounds of Blisswood. We needed to call upon the staff once as our hot tub had E02 error and it was sorted very swiftly (whilst we were riding). The instructions on the hot tub are very clear but would be good to add what to do if E02 error appears so we can self correct it (as it did strike again on our last night cutting the hot tub stint a little short). One little tip for travelers, do not listen to the weather apps, it was forecast terrible the whole time and we saw nothing but baking heat and sun - the Starview Cabin again is perfect for this as you get all open field in front to enjoy the sun. Loved the cabin, loved the grill, loved the hot-tub, loved the porch and rocking chairs, loved the activities. Thank you for an amazing stay, a memorable trip and birthday

We stayed in the Enchanted Cabin. It wasn’t enchanted. Then only positive we can say is that the property was pretty ( though not kept) and the bed was comfortable. Very rundown, dusty, broken patio chair, unusable patio furniture. Broken shower door , barely working appliances. No where to relax, or put your feet up. Tiny furniture. No soft blankets. We asked to have the cabin tidied up and shower door fixed. Someone came and hosed down the porch , that was it. Very disappointed, not as advertised.

We have just returned from 2 nights at Blisswood, which was the final stop on quite a busy road and rail trip across the States! It was the perfect place to unplug and unwind. As soon as we turned into the drive, we were met by acres and acres of wildflower meadows (in peak Bluebonnet season!), dotted with picture perfect lakes and forest areas. The cottage (Bluebonnet Bungalow) was idyllic - no fancy amenities (other than AC!) but full of charm and very comfortable for a family of 3. We loved the outdoor shower and hot tub under the trees. And the front stoop with 3 rocking chairs! We stocked up on groceries (don’t forget to buy a banana, to feed the friendly Lemur family on site!) from Sealy, which is approx 25 mins drive. We were really glad we did, as we then didn’t have to leave the ranch for anything. We enjoyed using the outdoor grill. Activities wise, I loved my horse ride around the property with wrangler Jessica. And my husband and son really enjoyed bike riding, and also their time with Mark, practicing archery and tomahawk throwing! To summarise, I would recommend Blisswood to anyone looking for a peaceful, simple ranch experience, full of outdoor fun and with time to really relax and appreciate the beauty of Texas.

10+++ this place deserves 10 million stars I could not even begin to tell you the incredible experience that we had. We got the Safari Room absolutely amazing and beautiful any request that we made she made it happen the horse ride with the picnic afterwards. Nice, romantic picnic for two everything was so beautifully, set up and ready and waiting for us there, I booked the birthday package for my husband’s birthday and did a Romance package. They were beautiful rose petals upon arrival a man’s bouquet of beef jerky balloons, banners and a cake. Everything looked so professional and beautiful . This place was better than any 10 star resort. You could possibly think of everybody was so accommodating it was an absolutely amazing adventure . We were spaced apart from other people, so we had to complete privacy. The only neighbors were the donkeys, deer,, and buffaloes!! Fridge had an amazing assortment of food and drinks. The only disappointment was having to leave.

We were a group of 7 and stayed at the Dog Trot House. Everything was absolutely clean and well equipped. The house is very spacious, authentic, but with a touch of modern confort (AC) that was highly enjoyable. The property is huge and very beautiful and there's a lot to do on site. DIY barbecue at night was probably one of the tastiest meal I've ever had ! Activities are great, for kids and adults. The staff have been amazing... They've been extremely helpful and reactive when we prepared our stay. Also very efficient on site. Everything was absolutely perfect ! I miss Blisswood and will come back again for sure !

Some confusion over billing with ******* , and the included some things we would not have done but the actual property is excellent

We loved Blisswood for our small elopement! When we first arrived at Blisswood, there was a magical feeling that fell upon us as we listened to the car tires crunching the loose gravel and the huge canopy of trees that expanded across the road leading to our Enchanted Cabin. The cabin was like a little doll-house among all the green trees. Our cabin was equipped with a fire pit outside, a hot tub, and a jacuzzi inside the master bedroom. We enjoyed riding horses, picnic lunches, and roasting s'mores by the fire at night. Most of all, we enjoyed the complete serenity of gazing up at the stars at night and drinking our coffee on the porch in the morning. Just complete relaxation after the busyness of organizing a wedding and the hectic lifestyle of the city. I enjoyed listening to the mooing of the cows at night and the singing birds in the morning! We will definitely be back to this magical place!
