As local travel experts, we know what travelers are looking for when it comes to finding the perfect accommodations for their next trip. To compile our lists, we scour the internet to find properties with excellent ratings and reviews, desirable amenities, nearby attractions, and that something special that makes a destination worthy of traveling for.
The little town of Mason is a pretty incredible place. With a population of just over 2,000, nobody would expect it to have one of the largest concentrations of topaz in the country.
Another gem hiding in the area is the Covered Wagon Bed and Breakfast. As the name suggests, the theme is the Old West and pioneer days, from the decor right down to the beds themselves. This quaint, historic overnight adventure in Texas will take you back in time and provide memories sure to last a lifetime.
Designed to resemble Mason County in the 1860s, this quaint bed and breakfast is your escape from the hustle and bustle of city life and your ticket to a much simpler time.
The quaint, one-room inn looks like an old-fashioned cottage that pioneers would've stayed in along their travels centuries ago. If you think the outside looks homey, just wait until you see the charm awaiting you on the inside.
A queen and twin bed, both designed to look like covered wagons, are easily the centerpieces of the room. Surrounding them, you'll find antiques, quirky furniture, and local art pieces. There's also a fireplace to sit in front of with a beer or mug of hot cocoa and tell stories or sing songs - just like the settlers did.
Enjoy modern amenities such as a full kitchen, high-speed Internet, Wifi, and a flat-screen TV with a DVD player and small selection of movies. Although your stay here is a time to unplug and slow down, nobody expects you to "rough it" but rather find a happy medium.
Continental breakfast will be provided each morning. Feel free to enjoy it on your own private porch with a mug of coffee in hand while you watch the sunrise and delight in one of life's simplest pleasures.
No, these tubs aren't for decoration - although they do add a nice quirky vibe to the place. Outdoor bathing might sound odd, but it's truly a "don't knock it 'till ya try it" situation. Mason is the darkest county in Texas, so gazing up at a sky full of twinkling stars as the warm water envelops you is the ultimate relaxation experience.
The bed and breakfast is located at 825 Wren Street , Mason, TX 76856, and more information about booking and pricing can be found here.
