The Lodge at 7F
College Station  / Wellborn, Texas

7F is located 10 minutes south of Texas A&M University.    The Lodge at 7F lives up to its motto of "Love Saves Lives" --   the innkeepers like to say they sell romance in the country.  The lodge offers secluded cabin suites – cottages, actually -- but these are no ordinary cottages.  Instead, you'll find a cabin quaint and luxurious at the same time, carefully hidden amidst live oaks, yaupon thickets, in a setting boasting both wildness of nature and the charm and comfort of hearth and home.

These secluded cottage suites are themed after the countries that flew a flag over Texas and other things true to Texas. Imagine the fun of staying in an aristocratic Mexican bungalow, a French chateau, or a Hill Country cabin, then later in a Spanish hacienda, a Blues joint, a Texas log cabin, a Western barn, or an Aggie saloon. Each cabin is carefully designed with a casual elegance and intrinsic, yet individual charm providing the guest with a nest of indulgent comforts, including bubbling, 2-person Jacuzzi tubs, coffee bar with microwave and minibar refrigerator, gourmet continental breakfast basket and pastry box featuring our signature Brazos Muffin and a variety of foods and beverages, private porches, beautiful art, fabulous beds with soft down pillows and down comforters.  Each cabin also has a Stereo/CD player with CDs in the room that fit its theme and atmosphere, and here is the best part:  no television or telephone to interrupt your respite.

On site amenities include a Wine Shop and the Spa at 7F, located steps away from the lodging office, but spa therapists can bring their spa tables to your cabin for a romantic couples massage.  Spa services include massage, aromatherapy, skin care, body care, hand-foot-scalp treatments, and specialty packages.

"Getting married? You'd be hard pressed to find a more intimate, charming place to hold your Texas Country Spa Wedding than the Lodge at 7F.  We swooned. So will you." -- SpaIndex Staff
