PECAN COTTAGE BED & BREAKFAST
The best Chick Trip lodging in Central OklahomaArchive for golf
Want to trade homes in October?
I grew up on the beach in Southern California and after nearly 10 years living in the midwest, I really miss the ocean.
Pauls Valley is a truly charming, brick paved, tree lined small town in Central Oklahoma just of Interstate 35 betwen Dallas/Ft. Worth and Oklahoma City where a family or a couple or a group of friends can enjoy clean air, free parking, friendly folk, wineries, train rides, casinos and some of the countries most fascinating attractions. There is so much to see and do for all ages and October is a grand time to visit.
On the other hand, I would personally love to spend a few weeks right on the beach. Are any of you with a home where you can walk on to sand at the ocean looking for a change? I am asking that we talk about this opportunity and what you would enjoy doing.
Here in Autumn, the trees are in full color, the pecans are falling on the ground, and the weather is perfect. I would be happy to arrange for you to meet people of your age and make certain you have the perfect itinerary.
We could trade homes. I will take care of yours and you can take care of mine.
Please let me know if this idea is of interest to you. info@greatersuccess.com

A wonderful 4 minute television show about Pecan Cottage done by Katie Kurtz of www.oklavision.tv. Worth the time to watch.
A Change in the Weather
Hello friends & Fans of Pecan Cottage
All I can say is “Awww.” The weather has finally turned and you can sense Autumn in the air around here.
The first things my Chick Trip guests did when they arrived on Friday (besides dropping their jaws when they saw all the food and beverage I had stored up for them) was open all the windows and let the fresh, cool breeze blow through the house.
North end of the Sunroom
It was 10am – we have very early check in – so I don’t know how long it lasted; hopefully well into the afternoon. But it was wonderful to see my ladies make themselves at home.
This group is from Norman, the home of OU, which is not very far away. They are all scrapbookers and take 2 or 3 weekends a year to get away together. It was perfect for them to make their Labor Day getaway a real Chick Trip to Pauls Valley and Pecan Cottage Bed & Breakfast.
The sunroom will definitely get used this weekend. In the middle of summer it is sometimes too warm to sit out there since I have to do some rewiring before I can add a ceiling fan.
Well, I know the 4 gals are having the time of their life doing just what they

want, when they want – and that’s the goal of a Chick Trip Package that includes food and drink, early check in and very late check outs.
Now is a wonderful time to make plans with your girlfriends.
Your friend, Susen Foster

Katie Kurtz visited Pecan Cottage
Hi my friends,
Today was cool. Well, not really cool, cool – but awesome cool. Katie Kurtz from OklaVision.net came to Pecan Cottage in Pauls Valley to interview me and to film the Bed & Breakfast. She was there for almost two and a half hours. I don’t think she missed much, including Planet Earth Jewelry. She even picked out a gorgeous piece to take home. I know she will love it and her friends will be jealous.
She didn’t have an air date as of yet, but I will keep you all posted. She said we would even be able to link it to the website so those who miss it live can check it out anytime.
I think she was very impressed with the Chick Trip concept and the fact that Pecan Cottage is so comfortable; a really welcoming place to make your home base with your gal friends. And she may have been a little surprised that there was so much to do in a 30 minute radius of here – like casinos, wineries, chocolate, antiques, galleries and great shopping, boat rentals, golf, 4 wheeler rentals, and the Chickasaw Cultural Center – so much to do; so little time.
I also introduced her to the Heartland Flyer and how much fun it is to take the train on your Chick Trip, plus all the great packages available at www.heartlandflyer.com.
She agreed that after a few days at Pecan Cottage, everyone would go home feeling rested, refreshed and back in touch with themselves. That’s the whole idea.
Watch for an update,

Pecan Cottage Chick Trips a Big Hit!!
Heartland Flyer at Fort Worth Depot
Yesterday, I attended a Heartland Flyer meeting at Riverwind Casino and so many good things happened. First – several people from our very cool Oklahoma Department of Tourism & Recreation were there and helped guide us through the concept of creating Itineraries.
Well, as you know, Pecan Cottage Bed & Breakfast didn’t just fall off the turnip truck when it comes to Itineraries. We have a list of possibilities 3 pages long – many that other Amtrak Depot towns hadn’t thought of.
Oh, in case you don’t know – Heartland Flyer is Amtrak’s passenger rail line from Fort Worth (Dallas) to Oklahoma City with stops at many great towns along the way, including Pauls Valley where we have the nicest little depot.
Okay, back to the story. Many seemed surprised to hear that all of us have within an easy drive horseback riding rentals, four wheeler rentals, and boat rentals; and seasonal fruit picking right from the orchard or farm. Everyone knew, of course, about our great casinos, wineries, theaters, galleries, boutiques, and antiques; golf courses and fishing spots; eateries and entertainment, plus the wonderous scenery of Turner Falls and the Chickasaw National Recreation Area. And now -opening this weekend – THE CHICKASAW CULTURAL CENTER just a few miles south of Pauls Valley. I’ll tell you more about this in my next blog.
The point is, we are all going to be working together to plan some Itineraries that will encourage people to enjoy the fun and relaxation of train travel, either one way or round trip, and by making Pecan Cottage Bed & Breakfast (or some other lodging in another town if you must) as their home base, create a personal Itinerary that all the girls – since we specialize in Chick Trips – will enjoy; no matter what adventure means to them.
Watch for more. It just keeps getting better. And check out www.heartlandflyer.com for information about specials. There are some great ones.
See you soon, Susen Foster
