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, ABOUT 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. TO PROMOTE RELAXATION, WE DO NOT ACCEPT CHILDREN UNDER 12 YEARS OF AGE. FOR THE WELLBEING OF ALLERGY SUFFERERS, WE CANNOT ACCOMMODATE PETS OF ANY AGE IN THE B&B BUILDINGS, AND HAVE NO MEANS OF KENNELING GUESTS' PETS OUTSIDE. THE COMMUNITY ROOM HAS A LIBRARY OF VIDEOS,CDS AND CASSETTES FOR ALMOST EVERY TASTE.SATELLITE TV IS IN PLACE FOR THOSE NOT WISHING TO MISS THEIR FAVORITE SHOWS, AND THE BOOKCASES THROUGHOUT THE HOUSE ARE BRIMMING WITH AN ASSORTMENT OF READING MATERIAL. FOR RELAXING, NOTHING BEATS SITTING IN THE HOTTUB 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. (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 ARE FIVE TO TEN MINUTES 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 ALWAYS COLD DRINKS IN THE REFRIGERATOR,AND TEA AND COFFEE AVAILABLE. THERE ARE TWO GOOD CAFES IN VAN,THREE MILES DOWN THE ROAD, WHERE YOU CAN AVOID THE FIRST MONDAY CROWDS AT SUPPER TIME, OR YOU CAN REQUEST SUPPER SERVED HERE, WITH ADVANCE NOTICE, AND AT AN EXTRA CHARGE. SPEAKING OF CHARGES, OUR RATES ARE $75 PER NIGHT FOR 2 PERSONS/ QUEEN ROOM. THERE ARE DISCOUNTS FOR A TWO NIGHT STAY . WE HAVE 2 ROOMS WITH A QUEEN BED AND 2 SINGLES TO SLEEP FOUR PERSONS ,2 ROOMS WITH A QUEEN BED ONLY, AND 1 ROOM WITH A KING SIZED BED. WE HAVE ADDED A BUNKHOUSE WHICH SLEEPS 12, AND HAS A KITCHEN AND MEETING AREA FOR LARGER GROUPS. WE TAKE PERSONAL CHECKS, CASH AND MC/VISA.

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 BY EMAIL CLICK HERE ***** TO SEE PICTURES OF THE B & B ROOMS, CLICK HERE ***** |
