| |||
OPENED IN 1996 BY REFUGEES FROM THE CHAOS OF LIFE IN THE METROPLEX, OUR B & B IS LOCATED ONE AND ONE-HALF MILES OFF OF INTERSTATE 20,
LOCATED MIDWAY BETWEEN SHREVEPORT AND DALLAS/FORT WORTH, FRAMED BY FIELDS AND WOODS, IT IS DESIGNED TO BE A QUIET SPOT FOR THE ROAD-WEARY TRAVELER, OR A HOME AWAY FROM HOME (WITHOUT RINGING TELEPHONES AND OTHER INTERRUPTIONS) FOR THE COUPLE LOOKING FOR A WEEKEND GETAWAY.
THE B & B IS ATTACHED TO, BUT SEPARATE FROM, OUR QUARTERS, FOR MAXIMUM PRIVACY FOR EVERYONE.
THE COMMUNITY ROOM HAS A LIBRARY OF VHS, DVDS, CDS AND CASSETTES FOR ALMOST EVERY MOVIE OR MUSIC TASTE.
SATELLITE TV IS IN PLACE FOR THOSE UNABLE BE AWAY FROM THEIR FAVORITE SHOW, AND THERE ARE BOOKCASES WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF READING MATERIAL.
ALSO FOR GUESTS' ENTERTAINMENT, THERE IS A GAME ROOM WITH A POOL TABLE AND ELECTRONIC DART BOARD AND (IN SEASON) A 24 FT. SWIMMING POOL WITH AN 8 FT. DECK FOR SUNNING. TO SEE GAME ROOM PICTURES AS WELL AS SOME SWIMMING POOL AND DECK SHOTS CLICK HERE. ******
FOR RELAXING, NOTHING BEATS SITTING IN THE HOT TUB AT NIGHT, STARING AT THE STARS AND LISTENING TO THE NIGHT SOUNDS ...OR STARGAZING FROM THE BALCONY UNDER CLEAR EAST TEXAS SKIES USING A TELESCOPE FOR A CLOSER LOOK.
THERE ARE NO TELEPHONES IN THE ROOMS TO DISTURB THE PEACE. (FOR GUESTS WITHOUT CELL PHONES, THERE IS A PAYPHONE IN THE COMMUNITY ROOM WHICH TAKES NICKELS, DIMES OR QUARTERS AND GIVES A 3 MINUTE LONG DISTANCE CALL FOR $1.)
WE ACCEPT CHILDREN UNDER 18 AS GUESTS ON A CASE BY CASE BASIS. WE HAVE NO ACCOMMODATIONS FOR PETS OF ANY SIZE OR AGE.
WE ARE EIGHT MILES FROM CANTON'S FIRST MONDAY TRADE DAYS, CLOSE ENOUGH FOR VENDORS OR SHOPPERS TO BE THERE BRIGHT AND EARLY, BUT OUT OF THE CONGESTION AND CLAMOR WHEN THE TRADE DAY IS OVER.
THERE ARE TWO GOOD CAFES IN VAN, THREE MILES DOWN THE ROAD, WHERE YOU CAN AVOID THE FIRST MONDAY CROWDS AT SUPPER TIME AND GET A GREAT MEAL FOR SMALL TOWN PRICES. THERE IS ALSO A PIZZA AND PASTA PLACE WHICH DELIVERS OUT TO THE B&B.
SPEAKING OF CHARGES, OUR NIGHTLY RATES RANGE FROM $75 FOR 2 PERSONS/QUEEN ROOM TO $585 FOR 12 GUESTS IN THE BUNKHOUSE. THERE ARE DISCOUNTS FOR A TWO NIGHT STAY AND FOR PAYMENT BY CHECK OR CASH.
IF YOU'D LIKE TO SPEAK TO GORDON OR JEAN ABOUT RESERVING, OR FOR MORE INFORMATION, CALL US AT 1-888-707-3992 OR 903-963-7669. THE MACHINE IS ALWAYS ON, AND IF YOU MISS US, PLEASE LEAVE A DAY AND EVENING NUMBER AND WE WILL GET BACK TO YOU.
AT ANY RATE, WE HOPE YOU'LL COME CHECK US OUT, AND SEE WHAT EAST TEXAS HAS TO OFFER IN HOSPITALITY AND PEACE AND SCENERY...GIVE US A CALL, WE'D LOVE TO CATER TO YOU!!!
THANKS FOR TOURING OUR SITE. GORDON & JEAN JENSEN
WE ARE LOCATED ONE AND ONE HALF MILES FROM INTERSTATE 20, EXIT 537, TOWARD COLFAX, NOT VAN, ON FM16.
NOW FOR THE STUFF WE HATE TO HAVE TO BRING UP: FOR FIRST MONDAY WEEKENDS: IF YOU BOOK A ROOM, WE HOLD IT AND TURN OTHERS AWAY. IF YOU THEN CANCEL, WE WILL CHARGE YOUR CREDIT CARD IF WE ARE UNABLE TO REBOOK THE ROOM. (WHEN IT GETS DOWN TO LESS THAN 2 WEEKS FROM FIRST MONDAY, IT IS HARD TO REFILL A ROOM) WE DON'T LIKE DOING IT, BUT HAVE ONLY 5 ROOMS IN THE B&B AND CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE THEM SITTING EMPTY BECAUSE SOMEONE CHANGED THEIR MIND ABOUT COMING TO CANTON. IF YOU HAVE ANY DOUBT ABOUT YOUR INTENTION TO STAY, PLEASE BOOK WITH A HOTEL, WHEN YOU CANCEL IT DOESN'T IMPACT THEM AS MUCH. :-(
TO REQUEST A RESERVATION, EMAIL TO:
IF YOU HAVE NO RESPONSE TO YOUR EMAIL IN 36 HOURS, PLEASE CALL THE 800 #. BY POSTING OUR EMAIL ADDRESS ON OUR WEBSITE, WE BECOME VICTIMS OF A LARGE VOLUME OF SPAM, AND SOMETIMES OUR "REAL" RESERVATION REQUESTS BECOME LOST IN THE VIAGRA AND OTHER GARBAGE MAIL!
