Round Rock Honey Company: Texas Made Sweetness

Honey harvested in the Lone Star State is what you’ll find at the Round Rock Honey Company. Located on the Chisholm Trail near Round Rock Industrial Park, this is a family operation that specializes in an all-natural sweet treat. It also has a taste unique to the state because Round Rock Honey Company harvests its product from hives all over the state, from bees making the finest wildflower honey. Not only does it taste good, honey is also good at preventing local allergies! And it’s easy to find at local farmers markets, selected grocery stores and even online for delivery to your home. You can get a bottle as small as eight ounces or as large as a gallon. The containers are even good, with the large bottles equipped with a spout and made of glass so they can be re-used or recycled!

Five of the World’s Most Unusual Hotels

Make your vacation a little more interesting by staying in one of these five unusual and unique hotels. We bet you've never stayed in any hotel like these! 

La Balade des Gnomes
Relive your childhood by staying in a fairy tale-inspired hotel in Durbuy, Belgium. La Balade des Gnomes features ten rooms, each inspired by myths and fairy tales. Each room is a completely unique and different experience. Bunk with a troll in a cave-like room, or sleep in a Trojan Horse. In the morning, enjoy a delicious breakfast full of local specialties. 

Treehotel
Looking to connect with the great outdoors? Stay at the Treehotel in Harads, Sweden, in one of the five tree houses built in the middle of nature. You'll sleep among the tree tops and take in the serenity of nature. Each tree house is unique, with names like The Cabin, Bird's Nest, and UFO. 

Propeller Island City Lodge
Located in Berlin, Germany, this hotel has something different in store for every guest. Each of the 30 rooms is unique in its own way. One room may appear normal — if you were standing on your head! Another room features a king bed cut in half by a guillotine. There is even a room that uses coffins as beds.

Hotel de Glace
Do you love the cold? Stay in a hotel made entirely of ice just outside of Quebec City in Canada. Hotel de Glace is only open in the winter, when each room is constructed from ice. Even though the hotel may be cold, you'll still be warm with fireplaces and comfy blankets. You don't have to stay the night to enjoy the hotel, you can stop by the popular ice bar for a drink or even get married in the wedding chapel.

Featherbed Railroad
You don't need to travel outside of the United States to find an unusual hotel. On the shore of Clear Lake in Northern California, you will find this charming bed and breakfast. Each room is made out of an old railroad car. Each antique caboose has a different theme, like the Orient Express and Casablanca.
