New Years Eve in Jefferson

Posted on: December 16th, 2010 by Stephanie

If you have not made your New Year’s Eve plans yet, consider coming out to Jefferson some fun. There will be plenty of parties that weekend and a lot of fun to be had. Here is a list of things to do while you are here.

New Year’s Eve Steam Train - The Christmas Rail of Lights will convert over to a New Years Eve Party Trainon New Year’s Eve.  Ring in the New Year with free noisemakers and the dropping of the New Years ball, just like in Times Square in New York City.  There will be a fantastic fireworks show with every train ride. You do not want to miss the colorful display.

Auntie Skinners - Every one’s favorite saloon will be hosting a New Year’s Eve party complete with a live band.  The band Ambush will help you rock in the New Year.  Tickets are $25 for a couple or $15 for a single.

Jefferson Carnegie Library-  Our beautiful library will be hosting a New Year’s Eve ball at their beautiful up stair’s ball room.  The gala event will be from 9 to 12.30 pm and is $35 a ticket.  There will be prizes for the best dressed couple and the best dancing couple.  Hors d’oeuvres and setups will be provided.  So put your dancing shoes on and come on down.

Stillwater Inn- If you are looking for a nice dinner before you go out to the party, then Stillwater Inn  has the menu for you.  Stillwater will be open until 10pm on New Year’s Eve and will be requiring reservations.  Please call 903-665-8415.

Carriage House Bed and Breakfast- Maybe instead of wild night out, you would like a quiet night in with your sweetheart.  The Enchanted Escape Romance Package will give you everything you need to spend a romantic couple of days in.  We provide a meat and cheese tray so that you do not need to go out to eat.  A beautiful bouquet of flowers to help set the mood and a romantic and very sexy board game called the Enchanted Evening.  The next day, we will bring your breakfast to you in your room so that you do not have to get out of your jammies.  To top off the romantic getaway, the package comes with two one hour massages to help you relax and decompress from the crazy year.  Finally, when it is time to check out, we will let you select two of our hand thrown ceramic signature mugs as a keepsake of your fabulous retreat.

We still have a few rooms left for the New Year’s holiday.  Please call us at 903-665-9511 to book your stay with us.

Gift Certificates and other Christmas Gift Ideas

Posted on: December 10th, 2010 by Stephanie

Have you finished your Christmas shopping?  Have you started?

It is the height of the Christmas season and our time to get the perfect gifts for our loved ones is quickly running out.  Every day I look at our Christmas tree and feel an increasing pressure to get all of my shopping done and fast.  But I am busy.  We all are.  And there is always that one person that you just can’t seem to buy for.  They either already have everything or are persnickety or you just aren’t sure what they would want.  How about I give you a little hand.  Here are some fabulous gift ideas courtesy of  the Carriage House.

Carriage House Gift Certificates

Everyone, and I do mean everyone, could use a vacation.  Life is hectic and busy and stressful and only a getaway to a quieter place and a slower time will fix what ails you.  Consider a gift certificate from the Carriage House.  Our gift certificates are available in any denomination and are good for a year from purchase.  We try and make it easy to buy as well.  You can order them over the phone by calling 903-665-9511 or you can go to our website at www.carriagehousejefferson.com.  There is no wait to receive your gift certificate.  Whether you purchase it online or over the phone, we will email it right over to you.

Coffee Mugs

Every cup of coffee served at the Carriage House is served in our signature hand thrown coffee mugs.  These beautiful handcrafted mugs are dishwasher, freezer, microwave, and oven safe.  Since each mug is handcrafted by a potter at Deneen Pottery, each mug is unique with their natural throwing rings and distinctive characteristics.  These mugs are offered in three different colors white, burgundy w/ blue trim, and midnight w/ cinnamon.  The mugs are $16 for 1 and $30 for 2.  Please call us at 903-665-9511 to place your order.

Key Chains.

Identical to the key chains that we use for our rooms, these handsome brown suede key chains are a perfect stocking stuffer.  Help your Carriage House fan remember their trip to Jefferson every time they leave the house.  The key chains are $7 and can be purchase by calling 903-665-9511.

Calendars

This 13 month calendar developed by the Marion County Chamber of Commerce features beautiful pictures of Jefferson and Caddo Lake (some taken by our very own shutterbug, Tom).  The calendar has a complete list of 2011 events and festivals to help you plan your next trip the Carriage House and Jefferson.  The calendars are $10 and can be purchased by calling 903-665-9511.
