The place is really pretty, love old houses that have been turned into B&B and they certainly spared no expense here. 130 year old homes, one is the main house, the other is the restaurant, and finally the one we stayed in is a two story home that was divided into several rooms. So quaint and so perfect for the village of Salado - a true artist colony. The Inn is decorated with local artists' paintings and glass work, beuatiful antiques, and is the perfect getaway from busy city life.
Can't say enough about Will! My son and I fell in love with him at first sight :) he is so nice and welcoming, and so accomodating our every wish, that I really can't wait to go back. The first thing that made me feel comfortable was even before we arrived: the confirmation email he sent, asking us a little about the reason for our visit, and how can they make it better, and then he replied and made some really good suggestions!
Even though the DFW metroplex suffered triple digits heat and humidity, Salado thankfully felt a lot cooler, and thanks to the fans and tons of shade we were able to sit on the porch and relax even in the middle of the day.
The food at Alexander's was good, and reasonablly priced. The bed was comfortable, the TV was easy to operate, the hot tub was great at midnight (you can use it at all hours of the day and night because it is away from the sleeping quarters) the view is fantastic (Salado creek), the music and light on the trees were a perfect companion to a cold drink on the porch and the hammocks were so inviting (but a little low to the ground...).
Went to Adeleade for lunch, didn't get a chance to go to Roy T's bakery, breakfast at the inn (included in the price) was good and beautifully presented (we had the baked omelet). Salado felt so safe to us that we walked back to the Inn at 1:00am after going to Salado Creek (Springhill?) restaurant - they have a bar, serve burgers and tacos, but they had a great band (every Friday and Saturday night).
Wish they had a pool, that would make it perfect...Oh, and they have a really nice gym!
Room Tip: Book rooms in the middle of the week. We stayed at the Aiken and it was great.
