A Countryside Oasis: Lavender Mermaid Bed & Breakfast

04Sep

As the summer heat gives way to a gentle crisp in the air, there’s no better time to escape the city and immerse yourself in the vibrant colors of an East Texas autumn. Forget the crowded, commercialized getaways—the true magic of fall can be found in the serene piney woods and rolling countryside. For a perfect romantic or relaxing retreat, there’s no better place to stay than the award-winning Lavender Mermaid Bed and Breakfast.

Nestled in the quaint town of Pittsburg, Texas, the Lavender Mermaid B&B is a haven of tranquility. Unlike a typical hotel, this charming retreat is surrounded by 30 acres of stunning pine trees, offering an immediate sense of peace and privacy. Wake up to a gourmet breakfast delivered right to your door, featuring fresh-baked goods, homemade jams, and delicious egg dishes—all prepared with locally sourced ingredients.

Each of the cozy cottages—including the popular Lavender and Sunflower cottages—is designed with comfort in mind, complete with king-size beds, luxurious linens, and private porches where you can sip coffee and watch the abundant wildlife. The nights here are just as magical, with starlit skies so bright you’ll feel like you can touch them. The B&B’s commitment to personalized service and warm hospitality has even earned it the “Best Lodging in East Texas” award.
