Mary, the owner, made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Her home is very eclectic in design, but it keeps you in awe and she had some great stories behind some of the pieces. Mary's breakfast and snacks were delicious, and her knowledge of the town, recommendations and directions to various venues was very helpful. We had some wonderful conversations at the counter each morning while we drank our coffee and she prepared breakfast, which you'd never get at a hotel. And the best part...slept very well on the comfortable mattress in the Moon room! Thank you, Mary! If I'm ever back in DS, I hope you have a room free!

Steve gave us a tour of the grounds, patios, the community room, and the chapel. He mentioned that he built the chapel, and it was so fun to see the pride in his eyes when he talked about each of the pieces of the chapel and how it was built. The entire grounds were incredibly gorgeous, with chickens, a duck, a cat, and little Gracie (their daschund) roaming about. I spent most of my time drinking tea on one of their screened porches, watching the animals cruise around in absolute silence (we were the only patrons on the property during our stay, score!!). Our breakfast each morning was OUT OF THIS WORLD. My second breakfast was a quiche, bacon, fruit with whipped cream, and oatmeal. I remember Belinda saying that there was a ton of food for me...all I could think was, "Challenge accepted!" Every scrap was eaten except for a small piece of bacon for Gracie. Belinda and Steve were so incredibly warm, welcoming, and personable. I really felt like I was at home with my family. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so so much for making me feel just like family during our stay.

We have stayed in many B&B's both in the USA and overseas and found this particular one to be the very best. From the moment you enter the property you feel welcome, and at peace.. Everything is so clean and fresh. The way the house and property are decorated is phenomenal and the rooms are stocked with everything you would need to make an excellent stay. The breakfasts were fabulous ( felt like a 5 star restaurant!) and the table settings were always different and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms quiet. Belinda and Steve seem to have thought of everything! We will definitely be back and will also have to check out their new property located in New Braunfels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

We stayed there from Thursday April 23rd - Sunday April 26th 2026. It was like living in an Italian Villa and you would be hard pressed to find a more gracious host and chef than Justin anywhere ! He's been doing this for over twenty years ! We arrived at the Lakehouse around 3:00 pm and were immediately welcomed by Justin who carried our bags to our upstairs Medici Room and gave us a tour of the house. Justin also provided us with excellent tips on things to see and do in the area, as well as suggestions for restaurants for lunches and dinners. Thursday evening, we ate dinner on the outside patio of Gennaro's Trattoria where we enjoyed their Authentic Italian Kitchen. Friday morning, we enjoyed a delicious omelet breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room overlooking Canyon Lake and great conversation with other guests. Following breakfast, we took a leisurely drive down River Road to the quaint town of Gruene (that's pronounced "Green"). There, we had lunch at the Gruene River Grill, followed by a relaxing stroll through the many antique and boutique shops in Gruene, and a visit to Gruene Hall, Texas' Oldest Dance Hall. We then returned to Canyon Lake and enjoyed some merlot wine and cheese and crackers (which we had brought with us) on the Lakehouse's covered outdoor patio overlooking Canyon Lake. We had dinner at Canyon Lake's Wildflour Artisan Bakery & Grill which offers a full menu. On Saturday morning, we enjoyed a delicious Belgian waffle breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room. Following breakfast, we drove to the town of Blanco and visited Arnosky's Flower Farm. After walking around the beautiful flower fields, we bought some beverages and snacks inside Arnosky's barn and sat in the chairs on the barn's covered back porch patio overlooking the flower fields, humming bee feeders, and bird feeders. You could sit there a long time as the scene is ever changing. From Arnosky's, we drove to Tillman's Cabin Resort in Blanco and ate lunch at the Rio Blanco Café overlooking the Blanco river. After lunch, we drove to the original 1885 Blanco Court House in downtown Blanco where we took a leisurely self-guided tour of the courthouse. We also visited Blanco's many antique and boutique shops. Saturday evening, we attended the 4 pm mass at Canyon Lake's St. Thomas The Apostle Church. At the end of mass, we witnessed one of their congregants step up to the lectern with the pastor's approval, talk about what the bible says about a wife, ask the lady in the front row next to us to step forward, and then bent down on one knee and asked her to marry him in front of the entire church congregation, and she said "YES" and they kissed. What a beautiful proposal ! Following mass, we had dinner on the outside patio of Canyon Lake's Elio's Osteria e Pizzeria. On the evening drive back to the Lakehouse, we saw lots of white tail deer in the neighborhood. On Sunday morning, we enjoyed a delicious scone and quiche breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room. We again enjoyed conversing with the other guests as we had every day, and then we packed and headed home. Sorry for the length of this review but my wife and I thought readers might enjoy hearing about what one can do from The Lakehouse Bed and Breakfast at Canyon Lake. The Lakehouse is centrally located in the Texas Hill Country and opens this area up to you like a box of chocolates!

This private access room includes its own balcony with a hot tub and stunning views of Canyon Lake. The room itself is decorated beautifully and the king bed is super-comfortable. The private on-property pool was the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon. I agree with all the previous visitors who raved about Justin's fantastic breakfasts! Day 1 included orange scones and a delicious zucchini fritatta and roasted potatoes - incredible. Day 2, by special request, included strawberries Romanov and eggs benedict with sausage. Thank you, Justin, for the wonderful food and conversation. We highly recommend this gem and can't wait to visit again soon!

Upon arrival, our supervisors provided us with a day pass to the spa which included, access to the grounds, trail access, pickleball access, library access, breakfast, coffee/tea, an hour long massage and a boxed lunch. We started at the pickleball courts and we were the only ones out there. The staff provided us with pickleball equipment so don't worry if you don't have any! After a few rounds, we then went to the spa to get our massage. In the massage building there were four separate rooms and a bathroom. Everything was clean and smelled amazing. A male masseuse then guided me to our room and ensured I was comfortable and asked if I had any areas I wanted to focus on. The massage was INCREDIBLE! My peers had nothing but great things to say about their experience as well. One masseuse was even experienced in pre-natal massages. The boxed lunch meal was such a delicious treat. It came with a sandwich, cookie, drink, chips and a salad. After lunch, a few of us walked some trails and sat around the fire pit. I would recommend sage hill a hundred times! If you're looking for a weekend getaway, a date night, team bonding, or some quick personal self care, Sage Hill is it!

We were even able to see deer right in front of our place! To add to the comfort, each person staying on the property gets a 3-course dinner and a hearty breakfast-- all included with our stay. The food was so good, and we were told it's farm-to-table! We opted to eat our dinner outside and we had the most perfect view of the sunset! There's so much to explore--I wish I could've done it all. I was only here for one night so I missed out on the Pickleball court, hiking trails, and spa. I definitely hope to be back soon, it was exactly what I needed to reset

The private lake was great for swimming, kayaking, fishing etc. The tennis court and the basket ball hoop kept the young at heart busy and rest of us lounged in the spacious, roomy, cozy home. The three living areas are great and we never felt crowded. The home is like something from Southern Living. It is so relaxing.
