    A Toast to Moms

    Mom’s the word at Margaritaville Lake Resort in Conroe this May

    If you want to gift any special mamas in your life with something a little zippier than flowers this Mother’s Day, there’s a lakeside paradise right around the corner with every mom’s name written all over it.

    For Mother’s Day weekend, Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe is showering moms with love through three special experiences, including the ultimate brunch, a beautiful spa day, and a get-away-from-it-all weekend staycay.

    For the moms who love a good menu
    There’s an endless array of indulgences at Margaritaville’s Mother’s Day Brunch — the Texas-sized French toast with whiskey-infused syrup and blueberry compote, brisket Benedict with chipotle hollandaise, and roasted tomato and feta frittatas are only just the beginning.

    Don’t sleep on carving stations with tenderloin, smoked pork, and roast chicken, not to mention all the charcuterie, veggie sides, and freshly baked sweet and savory pastries you can handle. Naturally, there’s a Bloody Mary, mimosa, and bellini bar, too.

    View the full menu here, and leave plenty of room on Sunday, May 14, from 10:30 am-3:30 pm for this brunch.

    For the moms who love a massage
    At the St. Somewhere Spa, the resort’s 18,000-square-foot wellness retreat, mom can have some much-needed rest and rejuvenation — with special pricing for three mom-perfect packages.

    The Mommy “Me Time” Spa Package includes a 25-minute neck, back, and shoulder massage and a 25-minute express facial.

    The Super Mom Spa Package delivers a 50-minute signature massage and a 50-minute South Beach Anti-Aging Facial.

    And the Sweet Mama Spa Package features a 50-minute Milk & Honey body scrub and a 50-minute Sunny Beach Bright Skin Facial. Plus, each package comes with a rose and a glass of champagne.

    For the moms who love a staycay
    With that decadent brunch already on the menu, you might as well make a weekend out of it at Margaritaville. Grab the License to Chill Overnight Spa Package for a getaway for mom.

    In addition to overnight accommodations in a suite that boasts a private furnished balcony or patio, you’ll get two complimentary cocktails from the License to Chill Bar and a $125 spa credit per night of your stay.

    Margaritaville Lake Resort, Lake Conroe is located at 600 Margaritaville Pkwy. in Montgomery, just an hour from Houston. Learn more and plan the perfect Mother’s Day here.

    Tiny West Texas town tops Airbnb's 'off-the-map' destinations to visit

    Welcome to Matador, Texas.

    More Texas travelers are shying away from tourist traps for their vacations and instead embracing the calming roadside with increasing interest in rural areas of the state, according to Airbnb, and one tiny Texas city in the Panhandle is generating buzz atop a brand-new list of under-the-radar rural destinations in America.

    The vacation rental marketplace's inaugural "Off-the-Map" list features 20 rural destinations across the country where short-term rentals are bringing in "new opportunities for local tourism."

    "From coastal fishing villages to Cajun bayou towns and alpine mountain escapes, America Off-the-Map invites travelers to discover something new and helps support local economies and communities across the country," the report said.

    Matador, a small town about 80 miles northeast of Lubbock and 530 miles from Houston, was named the No. 1 hidden gem vacation destination in Texas. The report described Matador as a part of Texas that tourists "haven’t found" yet, which is what makes it all the more rewarding as an undiscovered treasure.

    "Welcome to the seat of Motley County – where the wind is constant, the skies are enormous, and the history is deeper than the caprock beneath your boots," the report said.

    Visitors can explore the Motley County Historical Museum, which explores the building's history as the Traweek Hospital that was originally built nearly a century ago. The museum also sheds light on Native American history, the life of ranchers, and other historical facts about the town and county.

    Local restaurants like Chelle's Garden or TC's Ponderosa in nearby Dickens are good spots for travelers to eat like a local, while the Coffee Mill and Mercantile in Quitaque is the place to be for breakfast, lunch, and a cup of joe.

    Matador is also less than an hour away from the newly expanded Caprock Canyons State Park and Trailway, a popular Texas state park known for its roaming bison herd and bat colony.

    According to Airbnb's website, there are over 130 short-term rentals in Matador and the surrounding Motley County area, with some homes available for $172 for an overnight stay in April 2026.
