February arrived here without much warning—and certainly without gentleness. The final days of January brought a winter storm, record-low temperatures, and long stretches of snow and ice that changed the pace of everything around us. Travel slowed. Schedules shifted. The Inn grew quieter, earlier, cozier by necessity.
And once the storm passed, something else lingered: the kind of stillness that only comes after weather has had its say. Normal schedules stopped. Coffee cups refilled more often. The world outside felt hushed, and inside, the rhythm softened into something steady and grounding. It wasn’t the January we expected—but it was one that invited us to settle in together.
Feathered Forks: A February Treat
All month long, we’re leaning into something classically romantic.
When you book a February stay using the promo code LoveYa, you’ll find six chocolate-covered strawberries waiting in your room—our little nod to the season. It’s available for all February reservations, whether you’re celebrating something special or just carving out time together.
(Some things don’t need a reason.)
Perch Picks: February Wanders & Nights to Remember
Valentine’s Candy Crawl
If you’re visiting Magpie Inn this month—or planning a stay in the year ahead—there are a couple of experiences worth building a weekend around.On February 5th, Downtown Mineral Wells hosts the Valentine’s Candy Crawl. It’s a sweet, easygoing way to wander the shops, sample treats along the way, and enjoy the charm of downtown dressed up for February. It pairs nicely with a relaxed afternoon and an early evening back at the Inn.

Postcards from Magpie
A rare winter gift: Magpie Inn, quiet under snow.
During the storm, a pair of local friends—Stacy and Lori Blackburn—captured the Inn resting under a soft blanket of white. We’re so grateful they shared this moment with us; it’s not a sight we see often here, and it felt like Mineral Wells letting us glimpse something tender and fleeting.
The kettle was always on. The windows glowed early. And for a few days, everything moved at just the right pace.
From our perch to yours,
Magpie Inn
