The location itself looks very rustic on the outside, but inside it's cool, modern and has plenty of seating. You'll find plenty of shade trees and two water stations along with some nonalcoholic drink options. There's no food truck on site, but they do offer a charcuterie board and I was told you can now bring your own grub (still might want to call and confirm though). At the bar inside you'll find a listing of their ciders including some guest taps that rotate. There's two unisex bathrooms near the bar and two sinks on the outside where everyone can watch you wash your hands. It should be mentioned that there is one oddity about this property and that is the small McCuistian family cemetery just a few hundred feet west of the driveway (see separate review). And if that cemetery is not enough to get your attention, the huge Live Oak cemetery is directly next-door with over a thousand graves to peruse through (yes, I reviewed that one too). So if you're looking for a place that produces high-quality craft cider and enjoy the rustic Hill country setting, this is it. A couple of items to note, Friday night is movie night on a big screen outside and on weekends they have live bands. 10 informative photographs included.

The ceremony setup and grounds have that classic Texas charm and everything felt relaxed and easy. Just know that this place is way out from Austin proper.

As the best man for my friend's weeding, I would not recommend Stone Hall for a wedding or any…read morespecial event. The biggest issue was the strong sewage smell throughout the venue. The odor was so intense that many guests noticed it and commented on it during the celebration. It was genuinely uncomfortable and took attention away from what should have been an unforgettable day for the newlyweds. For a venue that charges premium prices for weddings, it is unacceptable to encounter such a serious maintenance problem. No matter how beautiful the venue may look in photographs, the unpleasant smell made it impossible to fully enjoy the experience. If you are considering booking Stone Hall, I strongly recommend visiting in person and paying close attention to the condition of the facilities before signing any contract. Unfortunately, our experience was very disappointing, and I would not choose this venue again for a wedding.

Regina and Madeline Manor truly gave us a fairytale wedding!…read more I had contacted many venues but the very first time I spoke with Regina, I knew she was the right person to plan and host our wedding. My fiancé really wanted to get married on July 4th, so we had only a few weeks to plan everything! And since this would be a small ceremony (only 10 people), we wanted to do this on a budget. I didn't know the first thing about planning a wedding, but in talking with Regina, I was immediately put at ease because I could tell she was gifted at planning weddings (or any events) and had everything I would need for a beautiful wedding! Madeline Manor is gorgeous! It's spacious with many rooms for everything you will need for any type or size event. The interior design is a classic style featuring dark, espresso wood flooring and an eye-catching grand, spiral staircase. They also have wonderful outdoor accommodations had we elected that option. Although Regina and Madeline Manor hold all types and sizes of events, they had recently decided to start offering "elopement packages". This was precisely what we were looking for. She prepared 3 elopement package proposals for us to choose from, each tier with a different level of offerings. She laid out what offerings came with each package, allowing for certain choices. She made herself available by phone, email and even an in person visit to see the venue and work through details and finalize plans. Regina and Madeline Manor took care of every detail from décor and food to event timing, photos and even music! They made this process so easy, all we had to do was pick what we wanted and they made it happen!! The day of the event, when I saw the décor, set-up and food, it was more stunning than I could have imagined. And the food tasted divine! While we were on a budget, you would have never known it. The beauty and elegance they provided far exceeded what we would have dreamed possible for the cost! The experience they provided for us was in no way diminished from that of a traditional large wedding, no detail was spared, everything was included, it was merely on a smaller scale! She and the staff really exceeded our expectations. We will never forget and always be grateful to them! It really felt as though we were celebrating with family as they seemed as excited and happy for us as we were! Regina and her staff are warm, friendly and generous people who are easy to work with and are eager to help. Madeline Manor is perfect place for a wedding, small or large!!!

There are lots of options for food- they have a concession stand there with hot dogs, snacks, candy and popcorn and such. There is also a food truck you can order from. We got food from both and were pleasantly surprised at the fair prices, portions and taste. My husband also went to the bar/speakeasy and said it was a really cool spot with lots of beverage options. We brought blankets and pillows for the kids in the back of the truck and then some chairs for us. We had plenty of space and it was a perfect night. Such a fun, nostalgic activity for kids and adults alike!!

The people who took our tickets were both really friendly. The African American bartender was really friendly too but the blonde just seemed like she didn't want be there. Either that or she just doesn't smile in life. We had a really good time playing the murder and mystery game even though there were some hiccups, they had to keep taking small breaks throughout the game to fix things. It was their first one though so I get that they are working out the kinks. I definitely want to come back once they have done the game a few times and really have it nailed down. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars is because I think we were legit ripped off by the bartender. My husband had one old fashioned for $15 and 3 canned beers for $3 each. I had one dirty martini, one Moscow mule and 3 glasses of Pinot noir and our bill , which wasn't presented itemized , came back as $150 which was $170 with tip. The math just doesn't make sense. Plus , the pours were really meh. Especially the wine she barely poured me a full glass. They really need to improve the pours if they are somehow charging $20 a pop for each drink, either that or the bartender really did rip us off. Shame too as other than that experience this please was amazing!
