Silk Stocking Row BnB is a gorgeous 100+ year old home that has been beautifully restored. The hosts, Chuck and Wilene, are the perfect BnB hosts. They are very personable, but in a way that makes you feel you can have as much privacy as you need. The house was very clean which is very important to me. We were in the Renaissance Room with 2 comfortable twin beds. The hospitality bar is a very nice touch with snacks and drinks. Breakfast was over the top! Not being a gourmet chef myself, I can only describe the food. We started with a beautifully and deliciously garnished half grapefruit. After that we were served a decadent stuffed French toast with raspberry sauce and a side of sausage. Of coarse we were served juice and coffee. I learned so much of the fascinating history of Mineral Wells from the available literature. This house was actually built as a boarding house for a doctor's wife who needed a hobby. They supplied housing to the tourist that flocked to the healing mineral baths. We went on a walk around downtown from the house....no driving! We were late for the shops to be open, but we enjoyed seeing the many sights including the 14 story Baker Hotel that was the 2nd hotel in the US to have a pool! Unfortunately it is closed, now.
