Bed and Breakfast
Hillsboro, Texas
Located just six miles outside the cities of Hillsboro and Whitney, the

Mornings will
find you enjoying a splendid breakfast served in the beautiful, large dining room. |
After a day of golfing, fishing, canoeing, shopping at the outlet mall
or antique shopping downtown Hillsboro, you may want to relax reading in your beautiful
room or in the backyard hammock, or walk the trail around the grounds. Our night sky has
the most heavenly stars you'll ever see!
Maybe, best of all, you can just sit out on
the porch and enjoy the views & sounds of the country - the wonderful pasture with its
pond, and the sight and sounds of the many colorful birds. |
