Schillinghaus is the BEST-kept secret for a relaxing stay in North Texas...
In fact, start booking early because folks in the Dallas/Ft. Worth-area and beyond are figuring this secret out. What this means for even the most international of travelers is that Schillinghaus in Muenster, TX, and its neighboring town of St. Jo are a MUST-SEE.
Like ASAP.
Schillinghaus is where the locals go to get away from the drama of Dallas. So, if you are one of those smart travelers who realize that maybe listening to the locals will make your trip ridiculously better, you just got your "local yokel" tip of the week.
As the Client Experience Director of a Texas-based mortgage company, and formerly a Client Experience Manager with BMW, I have nothing but the highest praise for all that Dr. Elaine Schilling and Maggie Fuhrmann have accomplished in the way of Guest-Experience at their B&B. My boyfriend, Peter... he agrees!
Five stars would be an understatement. Bear in mind, this glowing review, also, is coming from not one, but TWO globe-trekkers.
If you are looking for the comforts, hospitality, and tranquility one would find in the Texas Hill Country, you will experience all of THAT and more at Schillinghaus without the exorbitant expense, or hours-long drive just to get to Fredricksburg.
Hands down, Schillinghaus delivered beyond every expectation we had for our stay in Muenster on what was a very rushed day trip to celebrate Peter's birthday by going to Oktoberfest (one block away) and the Blue Ostrich Winery in St. Jo.
The quality of finish-out in Das Blaue Zimmer (The Blue Room) was stunning, and driving up to the B&B was like stumbling upon a cottage in the Bavarian Alps... with that added touch of grand Texas-style.
The granite counters, the impeccable furnishings, the quality SS appliances, the cozy faux-fireplace, the fixtures, the autumnal holiday decor, the exterior balconies, the extra touches in the bathroom with the embroidered waffle shower curtain and lavender salts for the bath...
You get the picture.
Did I mention Schillinghaus is "STUNNING"?
I could go on ad infinitum, and frankly the beautiful pictures online, or even ours, don't do the Schillinghaus justice. Its quaint and cozy vibe simply transcends what a photo can capture.
But, MAN, did we try!
The entire Blaue Zimmer apartment was a delightful sanctuary away from all of the city's hustle and bustle. And, online pictures could never capture just how comfortable the beds are, either. I had the best night's sleep I've had in years.
You really do have to experience Schillinghaus in person! You will absolutely kick yourself if you don't book a getaway with your spouse or significant other on whatever weekend might happen to be available, as the secret really is getting out far beyond D/FW!
I would go back again just to treat myself, and Peter is adamant that we are definitely going back.
In just the day that we were at Schillinghaus, it was as if we had gotten the vitality one would get from a full week's vacation.
Yes, Schillinghaus is THAT good!
With that said, our stay at Schillinghaus seriously made us rethink life in the Big D versus being in a small lovely community like Muenster, TX. The Schillings, Maggie and the residents of Muenster/St. Jo were truly the most sincere, welcoming, and generous hosts ever! #Trust
Get to Schillinghaus in Muenster, TX, as soon as you can!
