  • Restaurants
    Tomball has dozens of eating establishments, including restaurants, tea rooms and your favorite fast foods. Some of my favorites:
    Gianna Italian Kitchen
    Rancho Grande Mexican Restaurant
    Harris County Smokehouse
    Paul's Pizza Shop
    Cold Stone Creamery
    Whistle Stop Tea Room
    Ma Goodson's
    Rib Tickler
    Chili's
    Applebee's
    Denny's
    Mel's Country Cafe
    CC's Cafe (an old-fashioned coffee shop)

  • Stores:
    Hobby Lobby, a Craft Mall, Target, 24-hour Super WalMart, and many more

  • Movie Theaters:
    There's a Cinema 6 (less than 3 miles away), the Showboat Drive-In, and a 19 screen Silverado with Imax!

  • Old Town Spring:
     It's a little further away (about 20 minutes east), but well worth the trip for a fabulous lunch at the British Trading Post, and over 150 shops in charmingly renovated Texas frame and brick houses. You can justify it with a visit to GRS Creations (a clothing and quilt fabric shop), and there's even a winery!

  • Driving Range:
    The "Tee-It-Up" driving range, with 60 practice tees, is 1½ miles from the retreat.

The Quilter's Cabin has a complete listing of restaurants, points of interest, and scrapbook, needlework, yarn, and quilt shops to help you plan your stay.
