Janice Marie's
Step Back in Time
Bed and Breakfast

Janice Marie's Step Back In Time is a delightful bed and breakfast located in the small town of Terrell, Texas, yet not far from the bustling Dallas/Fort Worth metroplex. Built in 1910, this Craftsman bungalow is nestled among huge pecan trees and features a wraparound porch with a swing that just begs you to take a break and take it easy for a spell. Out front, you'll find Grandma's garden, featuring a variety of "old-timey" flowers. Salvia, dusty miller, snapdragons, bleeding hearts, hibiscus, and huge elephant ears attest to her green thumb.

As you enter the front door, step back in time to a place where the atmosphere is relaxed, comfortable, and full of good old hospitality, just like Grandma's. French doors open up onto the porch to create an open, airy atmosphere. The bed and breakfast is furnished with lovely period furnishings, right down to the push button light switches. Special touches such as stenciled floors and careful attention to detail ensure your stay is everything you want and then some! Each night you'll be treated to a bedtime snack and have your bed turned down for you.

Three bedrooms are available, with your choice of private or shared bath. The first room is a unique seafoam green and mauve-colored room with a majestic iron bed that sits high off the floor. During the night, you'll be looked over by a friendly group of Teddy bears and collectible dolls. The second room's color scheme is in shades of navy, rust, and light blue. You'll sleep in a turn-of-the-century Eastlake bed with a six-foot headboard, accompanied by a matching wardrobe. There is also a sitting area complete with table and chairs. Draped in peach and rust, the third room is enhanced by a comfortable, four-poster bed complete with Granny's feather pillows. The antique dresser was passed down from Granny, and a homemade church pew from Janice Marie's Grandpa rests in one corner.

Janice Marie's Step Back In Time is just minutes from Tanger Outlet Mall, ten minutes from Forney (the antique capital of Texas), and plenty of good restaurants. Guests who are more sports-minded will want to visit the athletic complex near the bed and breakfast. Golf enthusiasts will love the proximity of the local course. The entire family will want to visit Canton Trade Days, an expo of local art, crafts, handiwork, and unique items that attracts visitors from all over the state. Don't wait to explore this home-spun town for yourself; make a reservation and prepare to...Step Back In Time!

The roomy, farm-style kitchen has a working antique stove, Hoosier cabinet, and a full set of Lance cookie jars (which are the pride and joy of Janice Marie!). Breakfast is a delicious country fare, usually consisting of bacon, sausage, eggs, homemade biscuits, gravy, fruit bowls, orange juice, and freshly brewed coffee. In the separate dining room, guests gather to enjoy the family-style breakfast spread, giving them a chance to get to know one another and talk about the day's upcoming activities. Romantic dinners can be arranged by special request, proving an intimate setting for you and your loved one.
