    Husband and I were looking for a nice, weekend getaway, and Elm Creek Manor looked like the perfect…read moreplace. Boy, we're we right! The property is beautiful and serene, they've absolutely nailed the old world style, and the FOOD--oh my God, I've never had anything like it. We stayed in the Austrian Haus, and splurged on the Ultimate VIP Package, and it was worth every penny. The Room: The Austrian Haus is very roomy and comfortable, with a beautiful old world rustic feel to it. I loved everything about it, ESPECIALLY the spa shower and sauna room. Large, open shower area, and an infrared sauna that my husband and I enjoyed so much, it's got us looking for saunas in our area. We came to Muenster just to stay here, and between that and the late July heat making the outdoors a bit more than we could stand, we ended up lounging around in here for most of our stay. Comfy seating, strong wifi, and satellite TV, so we didn't feel cooped up, at all. Loved it, and I'm seriously torn between a desire to check out some of the other accommodations next time, and just continuing to book this one, because we enjoyed it so much. The Property: Absolutely gorgeous farm, nestled in the woods. The Austrian Haus is right next to the garden, so we had an excellent view of a variety of fruit trees, and rows of vegetables. There are also chickens, goats, and some miniature donkeys nearby. We didn't get to enjoy the outdoors as much as we would've liked due to our brilliant decision to come in the hottest part of the summer, but what we did see was beautiful. I look forward to coming back in a cooler part of the year! The Food: They're serious about the farm to table concept, and it shows! Between that and Marcia's incredible culinary skills, these were honestly some of the best meals my husband and I have ever eaten. You can taste the respect for the ingredients in every bite. Everything on the plate shines, and the vegetables are NOT just sides--we found ourselves enjoying them every bit as much as the meat. Even the salads are so good, they had us scraping the bowl! The homemade cheeses are phenomenal, and have effectively ruined even the Whole Foods cheese counter for me. And the desserts! I didn't end up taking any photos during our 3 course dinner in the manner, but I should have. That apple blueberry crumble pie was INCREDIBLE, as well as beautifully plated. I could go on for paragraphs about the food, alone. If Marcia ever publishes a cookbook, I'll preorder. The Add-Ons: There's a number of different packages to choose from, and we went with the "Ultimate VIP Package", to try a bit of everything. Pricey, but SO worth it! To run through some of the items included in it: 1) The snack basket was fantastic. Things like this usually seem to have a few good items on top, but are mostly so-so filler, after that. Not here! We enjoyed everything in it, including some old favorites we hadn't seen in years. 2) The European chocolates are SO GOOD. I now understand why Europeans think our chocolate is garbage. 3) The farm gift we got was a jar of their delicious pickles! I haven't had homemade pickles like this since I was a kid, and don't tell my grandparents, but these are better. 4) We both got a 70 minute massage each, and I don't think we've felt more relaxed, in our lives. We've now decided these are essential, and are looking into local places. 5) The treasure hunt was wonderful. The clues aren't meant to be difficult, and lead you on a nice tour around the property. Each comes with a question or series of questions that had my husband and I sharing our feelings (big deal for him, given how emotionally constipated he normally is!), reminiscing, and laughing. And at the end, more delicious cookies! 6) That charcuterie board was TOP NOTCH. The homemade cheeses and summer sausage were to die for. 7) The private dinner in the library at the manor was lovely. Very romantic setting, and amazing meal. The People: All were friendly and helpful. The owners are fantastic people. We got to chat with Brad a few times, as he goes out to deliver breakfast trays, himself. We only met Marcia at the Saturday night dinner, and enjoyed hearing about the methods they use to preserve food from summer, to use during the winter (they do as much as they can the way folks did 150-200 years ago, so lost of drying and canning!). The way we scheduled everything, we only got to attend one social hour, but I hope to spend more time chatting with them on future visits. All in all, it was a fantastic experience, my husband and I had a wonderful time and left feeling refreshed and energized, and we've decided we're going to have to make this trip once every year or two, and in different seasons (to try out the different seasonal menus). We really want to see it in the winter! I highly recommend Elm Creek Manor, and look forward to future stays.

The building is secure, with a code to get into the building and to your room. There is a covered parking area that is very near the Schillinghaus entrance, which is on the back side of a dental office. This is not a typical bed and breakfast, as no breakfast is actually served. You are given two, $5 coupons with your choice of three local eateries/convenience stores. You also have a fully functional kitchen in your room. The kitchen has complimentary coffee, chips, soda, water, oatmeal, and crackers. There is a full size fridge, microwave, stove, coffee maker, and other kitchen items in the closet. You must climb stairs to get to your room, but no fear, they will soon be opening a handicap accessible, "white room," which will be ground level. Everything was extremely clean, stylish, and homey. The bathroom has lots of towels, rose petals soaps, and all toilette are stocked - shampoo, body wash, tooth paste, tooth brushes, and floss were all available, as well as a hair dryer. The bedroom had a queen size bed, which was rather hard, but the pillows were heavenly. There is WiFi, which was weak in the room, but functional. There is a TV in the bedroom and living room. There is a shared fitness room - which consists of an elliptical - between two rooms. I am giving Schillinghaus 4 out of 5 stars because it was private, homey, and relaxing, however, you can hear nearby road noise, the bed was not as comfortable as I would like, and the stairs were a surprise. Everything else was absolutely perfect. You have little to no human contact, which was perfect for me. The only reason we saw anyone is they were working outside and we happened to see them as we were leaving. After saying all this, I would definitely recommend Schillinghaus to a friend. In fact, I would love to go back!

We stayed one night in two rooms upstairs (Blue & Green) which were each a full apartment with everything you could need. Fantastic accommodations for our lovely winery tour which was better than Napa! (no traffic and very affordable wineries compared to Napa).

The little pond seen in their ad, actually has a layer of scum on it. I saw a fish laying on top of the scum flopping and soon after died. probably because it couldn't get enough oxygen. the alpacas there were in a very run down pen area. there is a long 6 ft ta wooden wall in the pen area that leaning badly . it is ready to fall and is propped up with steel t post used for farm fences. They have a livestock guardian dog in the pen with the alpa's pen that does not look healthy. the entrance to the place has a dilapidated sign that is ready to fall dow. they give you a code for the entry gate. Probably because they don't want to ever meet any of their guest. They also give a code to the cabin. again so they don't have to meet you , they just want your money. The cabin was not bad, but the AC didn't work well. There were bugs in the grassy area and I was bitten many times. Run, don't walk. away as fast as you can . Their nice looking ad makes it look like a wonder place to stay. Believe me. It is not.

We played horse shoes, swung in a swing, and took in the beauty of the country side. I felt completely at home without the responsibilities of my small farm. We enjoyed our beautiful and delicious breakfast on the patio. Learned more of the history of the school house. My husband and I are Texas history buffs and loved it! We will definitely be back and recommend!
