My wife and I spent a recent weekend up at The Bird and Butterfly Inn. We had an amazing stay. The innkeepers Mikelyn and Chuck are fantastic. The place is beautiful and clean. On our first night, we sat out at their beautiful fire pit and outdoor kitchen and had a great time relaxing and talking with them. The second night we sat in the great room by the fireplace and just hung out and talked again with the innkeepers and a couple of other guests. They go out of their way to take care of their guests. My wife and I have some dietary restrictions which they were more than happy to work around. The breakfasts were delicious. I highly recommend this beautiful and relaxing Inn with 5-star service. You will not be disappointed.

Rooms: The Pullman room was perfect for my two friends and myself. There were four very comfortable beds in our room that were made to be private from each other by curtains surrounding each one like a train car. We had an en-suite bathroom and very luxurious furnishings. There was a landing outside our room with a comfortable sitting area and table for card games or puzzles.Food & drinks: The breakfasts were exceptional. Mikelyn is a great cook, has beautiful dishes and serving pieces, and is a very helpful hostess. Chuck keeps us entertained and chops up a grand fruit salad each morning.Noteworthy details: The B&B is in the piney woods right on the Angelina River. It is very quiet, secluded, and has several huge decks and a wraparound front porch - all great places to sit during the day or at night. The sounds of the flowing river and frogs croaking are very delightful and peaceful.

Was there 2/16 @ the Allison Rm (well decorated) since the Pullman(originally booked)my sweetheart couldn’t go up due to current knee pain.As I was about to sleep a very strong smell of mildew caused me cough and nose irritation to the point I have to take a Zyrtec. I didn’t cancel this night since I noticed the owners somewhat tipsy. They were drinking by the grill. As one knows it is not a prudent idea to start a discussion with someone who is under the influence of alcohol.The next day, I cancelled giving the mentioned reasons;They tried to persuade me to stay but I refused due to the consequences I could face again. They finally agreed and said my receipt will be emailed bcuz printer was down. The receipt was never emailed.Even though I explained the reasons why I cancelled; I didn’t see any adjustment on my bank statement on Tuesday. As of now I have not been refunded the 2nd night.So if you don’t want to go through persistent dry cough/ nose irritation due to mildew don’t book at this inn. Also, if you don’t like cats in the house don’t consider this since there’s a cat in here who like any cat likes to wander at any place around this B&B business.The owners do welcome you well.

We were looking for the perfect place to celebrate our anniversary and leave behind our family caretaking responsibilities - and we found it! What a great place to just kick back and enjoy the charming accommodations and fantastic host's attention to every detail. Mikelyn & Chuck made us feel sooo welcome and went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Dietary restrictions? No problem. The breakfasts were delicious and exceeded our expectations. Bravo!

What a wonderful place. The Bird & Butterfly Inn is the most precious B&B I have ever stayed in. From the location to the hosts it could not have been better. We were there for New Years Eve weekend and Mikelyn & Chuck took such good care of us. They even had a wonderful New Years Eve night dinner planned!All of the food was amazing! Looking forward to our next stay.Rooms: All of the rooms are themed and have exquisite bedding and amenities.Food & drinks: The breakfast was amazing. And they made sure if anyone had any dietary restrictions that they were taken care of just as well.

Chuck and Mikelyn are magical hosts and this property is truly one of a kind! Some of the most comfortable beds I've ever slept in and the food was simply delicious. I'll certainly be back! Thank you for accommodating our girls weekend fun. I still have major regrets about not getting a THIRD slice of the handmade birthday cake Mikelyn prepared for us. What a treat!

The husband & wife team are hands down the best B&B Owners Ive ever experienced. I stayed in the 1901 Cabin that is about 20 steps from the riverbank. The cabin was so cozy and perfect. The breakfasts were so delicious! Beautiful, spacious main house with a deck that sprawls to the river. Perfect for a wedding! This is a must see!!! I will definitely come back to the Bird&Butterfly Inn! Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful three night stay at this gorgeous bnb. It was our first experience at a proper bnb and it was the absolute best and has probably spoiled us for any future bnb stays.You will be cared for and welcomed like family. We chose the cabin at the front end of the property. Secluded, with a river front view, we had nothing but peace and quiet. The breakfasts were amazing! Beautiful house and property with room to wander and loads of nature to gaze at. I can’t say enough good things about the owners or the home. We will definitely return.

If you are looking for a weekend get-away that's a short drive from Houston, The Bird & Butterfly Inn is the place to go. This beautiful Inn is in a perfectly tranquil spot and the grounds are gorgeous -- well maintained and meticulous. The Innkeepers, Mikelyn and Chuck, are cordial and welcoming. They even sat with up on the deck watching a meteorite shower the evening of our arrival. This place is sheer bliss. The rooms are immaculate and spacious -- ours bathroom had both a shower and claw foot tub! After a relaxing evening, totally rested, we wake up to the amazing aromas coming from the kitchen where Mikelyn is working on breakfast -- great food, even better company. The Bird & Butterfly Inn is quiet and peaceful -- just what we needed. They even have a bed swing off to the side of the porch! If you're looking for a weekend get-away or a beautiful place for a wedding, please visit Mikelyn and Chuck -- you won't be disappointed.
