    Our new two person whirlpool features comfort jet massage and a design that gives guests a relaxing, quieter spa experience. The large jacuzzi style tub generates 'champagne type' air bubbles, perfect for creating that 'romantic interlude.' An electric type fireplace adds to the ambience of the guesthouse. 

    Our homestead cabin guesthouse is located on land purchased from the German Immigration Company in 1851. The original german owner, Augustus Muller however sold his land quickly. This part of Texas was wild with Comanche and Apache indians, prior to the establishment of Ft Concho. Michelle's great grandfather was born in a stone house with an indian loophole and could be barred in the event of an attack, attesting to a time when 'the west was wild.'

    Learn the history of the owner's family coming to Texas from Georgia and the love story of Miss Lissia's, then the bargain a Captain struck with his soon to be wedded son, a lady in waiting, a vineyard, for the love and affection of, and land along the banks of the Concho...........and all that ensued thereafter........A family that truly left a legacy of enduring love........our treasure to share...

    San Angelo, Texas

    "Its heart still beats on Concho Avenue, filled with boutiques and restaurants in old buildings of native stone and cast iron, crowned with oldfashioned finials. Below the street flows the Concho River, and beyond the river stands the city's first site, Fort Concho National Historic Landmark."

    --"Boots, Saddles, and Pearls" - Gary D. Ford - Southern Living Magazine

    "Located deep in the heart of Texas, San Angelo is one of the most remote cities in America. The Sunken Gardens Park is seven acres of green space and shady spots that provide a surprising oasis among the usually arid West Texas landscape. Residents feel its charming neighborhoods, frontier history and quiet river scenes help make it a nice place to call home."

    San Angelo, TX is a charming historic town. Located along the banks of the Concho River. San Angelo boasts Fort Concho, a historical landmark and one of the most noted restored Forts in Texas. Step back in time, as you visit Concho Street and all their quaint shops. Make sure to tour Miss Hatties, a restored Bordello, closed by the Texas Rangers in the 1940's. Then go over to Miss Hattie's Restaurant for afternoon tea. The Cactus Hotel is beautiful. Enjoy the beautiful River Walk and the wonderful Rose Garden.

    We loved our stay at Miss Lissia's B & B out in Water Valley. The guesthouse is filled with romantic treasures sure to enhance the senses. Later in the evening, we sat out in the yard and gazed at millions of stars. What a mood maker! I can't think of a more perfect spot to rekindle romance. It is the perfect anniversary present. Thanks for a special time. - Ross and Betty
