The garden features a large Koi pond with several outdoor seating areas from which one can enjoy the plants and creatures that live here. I had a great time sitting on the upstairs veranda and watching the fish while I drank my morning coffee. Very quiet and restful! I'll definitely stay here again!

You approach the resort by dirt roads, but they are well maintained and no problem for our sedan. The Tesla nav system was accurate. We had no problems getting there and back. Kelly and Brian are excellent hosts. Brian can regale you with many anecdotes from Central Texas history, most of which I had not heard before, even though we've lived in the Lone Star State for 38 years. Our room was quiet, cool, and comfortable. The lobby is also quiet and is a great place to sit and read. There are two very sweet dogs that have the run of the place. We had a lot of fun interacting with them. You can walk the grounds and along the dirt roads with nearly zero traffic. I do recommend sturdy hiking boots, as cockleburrs are plentiful. There are also venomous snakes in this area, although we did not see any. Better safe than sorry. We will certainly return. I'm thinking March or April will be perfect to catch the wildflowers and get in before the summer heat. Please the attached photo captions for additional comments.

My wife discovered the hidden gem while searching for a hill country hideaway to surprise me with…read more Hidden it certainly is. Off the highway, down a narrow, winding paved road, onto a gravel road to seemingly nowhere, past goat ranches, llamas, and beautiful vistas to finally reach the gate and see three lovely little cabins. The hummingbird hideaway where we stayed is cozy, clean and inviting. The front porch is great for sitting, watching the hummingbirds and having s cup of coffee. Breakfast is served at 8:30, and is routinely on time and delicious, even accommodating gluten free diets. The owners and their small children are delightful, but remain out of the way unless needed ( or delivering breakfast). There's a TV in the room. I assume it works, but I never had the desire to turn it on and spoil the solitude. The B&B is within easy driving distance to all sorts of parks, refuges, LBJ's home, Fredericksburg, nice restaurants, wineries, distilleries and breweries. You won't lack things to do if you venture away from the B& B.

I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants some 2-3 day peace and tranquility. A weekend getaway or recharge from the stressful busy-ness of everyday life. Away from it but not too far... This is really THE PLACE.

It is cute if you do not look closely. The house needs to be thoroughly cleaned for dust and mold. There was dust dropping from vents. It needs updated electrical and plumbing. The bathroom lights flickered downstairs, the bathrooms had numerous moths or some type of flying winged insect in them, one downstair's bathroom had a wet floor by the toilet which may have been from a leaky toilet or pipes under the floor. The numerous flying insects were to me an indication that there was something wrong underneath the surface. The flying insects were seen day and night.

I was looking for a place to have a bachelorette party/getaway when I came across a listing for the…read moreEco-Cabins; I initially booked this through GlampingHub, so this review will be there as well :) After looking at the options I booked the Red Room Cabin and the Blue Loft for myself and four others. Todd (property manager, on-site massage therapist, and all around genuinely amazing and super-nice human being) contacted me immediately after booking. We got some details hashed out in terms of arrival time, options for the massages, and basically just scheduling things. Due to scheduling we were only able to stay for one night, but Todd worked with us to make it happen. We were interested in doing the Girls Weekend package, which includes an hour of massage, a wine tasting at Stone House Vineyard, and a private group yoga session, so he gave information about that as well. Surroundings: The drive to the location was calming in itself, passing hills and fields and animals. Upon arrival, I contacted Todd and he met us and showed us where to park. Parking is available right around the corner behind the property fence, with openings to walk right to the Eco-Cabins. This entire property is beautiful - it's a charming and peaceful environment with so many options for places to sit and breathe, relax, think, chat with friends, or just listen to nature. We were there for less than an hour before deciding we will definitely return in the future, and even started planning another weekend stay for later this year. There are some hammocks to lay on, a small swing, and a covered pavilion with some couch seating. There are also roaming dogs in the area that came onto the property a few times, which was so cute! Lake: With a short walk down the driveway, you hit water! The view is beautiful of course - especially at sunset and in the morning. The water was pretty high when we were there, so to get from the driveway area to the floating cabin we needed to wade through a few inches of water. Being super-smart and definitely feeling invincible at the time, I accidentally fell in - but it felt great! Thanks Mid-February Texas weather! :) I really wish I'd brought a swimsuit, but that'll just have to be a next-time thing. The lake cabin has a couple seats as well, and we sat there for a bit just looking out at the water and occasionally waving at people passing by on their boats. We saw kayaks stored near there as well, and I think they're available to rent, which would be great! Cabins: We booked Red Room and Blue Loft. Both were super cute! The Red Room has room for two to sleep, has a detached bathroom, and a private seating area up the stairs where you can just sit and breathe and observe for a while. We only used the fridge and some glasses, but I believe there were some things available if you wanted to cook something. The Blue Loft has a small kitchenette with basics available as well, and it has room for four to sleep. Outside the cabins there are seats and a small table. There's also space between the cabins to do a small campfire, with all the things needed - we didn't use this but we will next time. Massages: There is a massage room on site. We each had a one-hour massage session with Todd. It was my first massage ever, but I feel like his approach was perfect. He has a very client-drive mindset, and I feel like he listened to what my body/muscles/joints was telling him. He explained the process beforehand and made sure I was comfortable with everything, and gave tips on how to breathe through any discomfort. I felt amazing afterwards! He also told me after where he felt the tension and stress being carried. It was honestly incredible; there aren't enough words to describe it! Yoga: We did our yoga session on Sunday around 11am. It was amazing as well! The instructor (I'm so sorry I forgot her name!) was very knowledgeable about yoga and the body and connecting with breathing, which I really appreciated. The session was perfect - we were outdoors, there were wind chimes being struck, the lake in the background, great company and amazing instructor... just perfect. Wine Tasting: The vineyard is a short drive away (less than five minutes), and it was very nice as well. We tried I think 6 different wines, bought a cheese plate (not included in LWOLT package) and bought a bottle of wine (also not included) to take back with us. The sun started setting while we were here, and we took a few pictures :) Checkout: Easy breezy, we just took our trash out and put it in the trashcan, tried to leave everything how it was when we arrived, and said goodbye + see ya later to Todd. Overall - super impressed, glad we booked here for bachelorette weekend getaway, and wish I could go back again and stay for more time. TL;DR Bride + bridesmaids booked here and did the Girls Weekend Package (massage, wine tasting, yoga). Living Waters on Lake Travis is absolutely worth it; I highly recommend it, and we will all be returning!

We booked the King Alexander room, but were changed last minute to the Queen Elizabeth. We are on the tail end of a getaway weekend, so we wanted to rest and relax on our last night, before we go home. Pros - We were the only ones there, so it was nice and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. Cons - We were the only ones there, and had no one to help answer questions about the town, or help us when we couldn't get our TV to work (football games). We brought a sound machine, but had we not... you would be able to hear EVERYTHING in that house. Also, there was quite a bit of lights from the front of the house (outside) that flood the room at night. It was very bright. My biggest frustration came with the service. Usually they serve breakfast, but because the owner (I think?) was injured we got vouchers to the Bluebonnet cafe... sounds great ... except it's closed until January 2nd. We rely on yelp for quite a bit, but it would have been nice to have a human around to give recommendations of another local place to eat. It just wasn't a very traditional B&B experience. Everyone who left reviews said how awesome the food was ... and we left with empty stomachs. What a bummer! We ended up just packing up and heading back home. I certainly feel like I overpaid for what I got out of this experience. All in all... we were able to relax on our last night, and the B&B was very clean and cute. But I think next time we will just stay in Fredericksburg another evening.
