Just read this release from the Texas Bed and Breakfast Association about some special deals happening at some top-notch Texas B&Bs. I thought I'd share some with you:

Acorn Inn
250 School House
New Braunfels, TX

You'll love the rates at the Acorn Hill Bed & Breakfast. During the Spring and Summer months of 2009, you can stay at this charming B&B and act as if it was 1999 all over again, as room rates have been rolled back to 1999 prices! Guest rooms regularly going for $170 a night for two are now $150, while guest rooms regularly going for $145 a night for two are now $125 a night. Acorn Hill is just five minutes from the Guadalupe River and downtown Gruene, Texas and ten minutes from historic New Braunfels. Area attractions include whitewater rafting, vineyards and wineries and antique shopping.  For more info, call 800-525-4618.

Katy House B&B
201 Ramona Street
Smithville, TX

The Katy House, located 45 minutes outside of Austin, is turning 100! What does that mean for you? Plenty! From now till the end of summer, if you stay two nights Sunday through Thursday, you can receive the second night free when you bring the house a birthday present! What kind of present might that be? Specifically, they're asking for a plant for the inn’s gardens, which really has a hankering for Texas native perennials. The Katy House, built in 1909, is located one block from historic Main Street; Smithville is between the towns of LaGrange and Bastrop, in Central Texas. Be sure to ask for the "Katy House Birthday Plant Special" when you book. For more information, call  800-843-5289.
