We decided on some quiet time in the Texas hill country far away from the Spring Breakers. We came…read moreacross this place online and liked the reviews. Keep in mind when you're trying to get away from it all, you are also gonna find that there's not as much to do either. There's a handful of restaurants, bars and thrift shops and one thing that we noticed is that many of these places are closed on Monday and/or Tuesday. On our arrival at this B&B we were welcomed by Keith and Darrin.......and the cat. This husband and wife team do a great job of making your stay here enjoyable. Breakfast is included with your stay, and it is a lot better than anything you'll get at a comfort inn (see photos). You can eat in the dining room or take a tray upstairs to your room. Now for the inn itself. This is not a house that was later turned into a B&B, it was actually designed as a B&B from the start. Each room has its own balcony and bathroom. The place has a nice rustic feel about it, but it does not have that musty or moldy smell that some old buildings have. The building itself is about 20 years old and is in very nice clean shape. The rooms have wooden creaking floors and the furnishings look as though they're from the 80s and 90s. The amenities include a mini fridge, a Keurig, artificial fireplace and a flatscreen. Since half of your stay here is spent on a bed, each room has a king size bed that is made with coiled mattress springs, not memory foam. We found it to be a little bit softer than we prefer and there is a subtle trampoline effect when your partner moves in the night. Our room had an additional twin bed which my wife preferred after the first night. Our room had a spacious balcony on the corner of the house that overlooks the backyard all the way to Canyon Lake a few miles away. And speaking of the lake, there is no trail that leads from the B&B to the lake, you will have to drive there. However, on those early misting mornings, you'll most likely see deer below your balcony. There was plenty of hot water in the shower and the bathtub came equipped with air jets. I have included pictures of the other rooms here, just not ours. One other facet about this B&B is that it makes a great small venue for a wedding outside and you can book the rooms for your guests. An added benefit is that Darrin owns a floral business on the property. Massages are also offered here. However, I do need to point out that parking is very limited here and street parking is not an option. We spent five quiet nights here in March for the sum total of $1080. There's plenty of pictures here to help with your decision.

Great place for a 2-3 day retreat. Dog-friendly (on leash required). The customer service responds…read morequickly, and check-in/check-out are smooth and easy. This year's water level is historically low (since the 1960s), so direct swimming access to the water is nearly impossible. Boat ramp closed. However, the view is still spectacular. We also appreciate the grill spots -- we saw previous complaints about the grills -- honestly, we don't quite understand why they are being so picky with the public grill spots lol... I can tell they have tried their best to manage/clean. A/C works well, especially at night! Not much noise created. All the fire pits were upgraded and well-maintained. Some things to be careful with: 1/ Some weeds in the grass can be sticky and painful to pick off. Be careful walking in grass near the cabins (wear water shoes). 2/ Some dogs may be reactive to people/other dogs (barking). But everyone was very respectful. 3/ Didn't try the swimming pool; it looks a little muddy. 4/ Coffee station not working well. We noticed from others' reviews and brought our own coffee boiling pot with pour makers. They also didn't provide milk/coffee mate. 5/ Pillows are not quite comfortable.

I walked out to use the bathroom and you can see some dude in his window working out on his treadmill in the middle of the night(very creepy). I was also woken up by the sound of barking dogs from a neighboring house behind the small cabin area. This was not a place to get away to relax. I'm also a pool owner and when I saw their pool, I knew right away there was no way I would even put my big toe in it for a soak. Those portable pumps threw me off and the water was not clear.

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!

The potato skins might as well be a baked potato they are so loaded. I have a burger tattoo I love burgers so much. I can't decide if I like Maven's burgers or their sliders better. I suppose it just depends on my mouth's girth's mood. Also notable- the bacon wrapped dates and the Mac n cheese. They have events (bingo, karaoke, etc) damn near every night if they don't have live music. You may even see the owners frying fries and/or waitressing tables. This place is small town in the best way and we are so grateful for it!
