For a unique stay in the Spanish countryside, come to Turisme Rural El Moli De Siurana in the small village of Siurana. This inn is located on 10,000 square meters of gardens, and it also has a working farm with cows, sheep, and chickens. Guests are welcome to visit the farm and see what Spanish agriculture is like.

Review of the Week: Historic Kuebler Waldrip Haus Bed and Breakfast in New Braunfels, TX

August 30, 2012 10:38 by Emily

While you may think of B&Bs as a place for romantic getaways, they are also perfect for girlfriend trips. The below review was left by a woman who took a girlfriend getaway this summer to Historic Kuebler Waldrip Haus Bed and Breakfast in New Braunfels, TX. The historic inn has 10 luxuriously restored rooms. We absolutely love reading reviews like this!

"We will be back!"
Went on a girls trip to New Braunfels and had an amazing time! By chance we ended up at the Historic Kuebler Waldrip Haus and I am SO glad we did!...The room was so spacious...Darrell [the innkeeper] was kind enough to wait up for our arrival at 10 p.m. on Friday night, and they did not charge us for coming in late (I was shocked and grateful!). He kindly helped us with our luggage and got us all settled in. We went down to the common room to make a few cocktails (we brought our own) and to our surprise there was a mini wine bar set up as well as all of the Blue Bell icecream anyone could want to eat. Even though the main house was full, we really felt like we were the only ones there (until breakfast, that is). I cannot say enough good things about our stay. The breakfast...don't even get me started! It was all homemade goodness. We didn't eat lunch because of how full we were. Table service, and all.

I was also VERY impressed with the cleanliness of our room and the house itself. Spick and span! Mrs. Waldrip chatted us up and breakfast and was so warm and inviting. You can really tell that people are her passion and this little place is her slice of heaven. LOCATION: We wanted to go into Gruene and not have to drive far to get back to the Haus and it was just the best, you're right in the middle of everything, without being right SMACK dab in the middle of it. 7 minutes to Gruene, 15 minutes into downtown New Braunfels. It was perfect. Again, I cannot stress how much we enjoyed our stay! Can't wait to take my husband!!
