Welcome to the very first edition of Notes from the Nest—our new monthly peek into the food, fun, and happenings here at Magpie Inn (and around our favorite small town of Mineral Wells). Think of it as a note from the porch: a little behind-the-scenes peek, a few upcoming events, and of course, some updates from the kitchen and the critters.
Nest Notes: Fall Milestones & Magazine Features
First things first—we’re honored and humbled to be nominated for Tourism Partner of the Year by the Mineral Wells Area Chamber of Commerce. We’re so proud to be part of this vibrant, growing community.
Also? We’re in print…again! The very first issue of Mineral Wells Living Magazine hit shelves in September, and we’re beyond thrilled to be featured inside. You’ll find us sharing three of our favorite recipes straight from the Magpie Kitchen.
Perch Picks: What’s Happening Around Town the Fall
October 9–11: Crazy Water Festival
One of the biggest weekends of the year in Mineral Wells, the Crazy Water Festival is full of music, makers, good food, and—you guessed it—Crazy Water! It’s the highlight of Fall in Mineral Wells.
We love sponsoring the VIP area and getting to feed the vendors and bands every year. If you’re in town, stop by the festival and soak up the energy.
October 26: Fall Splendor Event
This one’s for the mystery lovers (and Clue fanatics). Join us for a Murder Mystery Dinner: CLUE Edition, presented in collaboration with Second Star Theatre. Come as a guest—or step into the story yourself as a character.
Sunday, October 26 at 7:00pm

Will you solve the mystery… or be part of it?
Thinking of a Fall Getaway in Mineral Wells?
There’s something extra special about staying at Magpie Inn in the fall—cool mornings on the porch, local festivals in full swing, and a slower pace that lets you catch your breath.If you’ve been meaning to plan a getaway, we’d love to welcome you.
Feathered Forks: A Little TLC + A Peek Ahead
Magpie Inn is getting a little tender loving care this season—some touch-ups, some remodeling, and a few cozy upgrades we can’t wait to show you.
We’ll be sharing before-and-after photos soon, but here’s a sneak peek of the transformation in progress. It’s all part of our commitment to make Magpie even more welcoming, comfortable, and full of charm.
And don’t forget to grab a copy of Mineral Wells Living for those three fall-ready recipes from our kitchen. They’re simple, seasonal, and full of flavor—just the way we like things.
Critter Chronicles: WALDO WINS BIG
Our favorite slowpoke has done it again.
🐢 Waldo was just named Texas Bed & Breakfast Association’s MASCOT OF THE YEAR!
He may be modest about it (and he definitely slept through the announcement), but we’re over-the-moon proud. If you’re staying with us this fall, be sure to stop by the yard and congratulate him in person—with a bit of romaine from his garden, of course.
Postcard from Magpie
Fall mornings on the porch remind us to slow down, breathe deep, and let the day come to us.
Wherever you are reading this, we hope October brings you a moment like that, too.
From our perch to yours,
—The Magpie Inn Team
