Rose Hill Manor is life on Prozac. The B & B resembles an African Savannah Manor overlooking the breezy, subtle vistas of the Texas Hill Country. - a rocky terrain of low-lying oak trees on rolling hills. Great place to get your nap on. Just outside of Fredericksburg (and thus about an hour and fifteen from Austin) Rose Hill is a great getaway for a weekend or retreat. Room rates run from $135 - $239 depending on accommodations and time of the week, and it's well worth it. Austin's, the on site restaurant, is open to the public (make reservations before you go) and the menu is prefix for 40 bucks, and changes weekly. Lots of local flavor utilized from local farms and Rose Hill's own garden - like a true New England, Euro or Napa B & B. Of the five times eating here, I have never been disappointed. COME HUNGRY, however - it's a lot of food. So much you may just want to book a room to delay the long, dark, food-coma drive back to civilization - peppered with cracked-out deer, running towards 'the light.' Besides being the top notch place to eat and stay in this remote area, the best part of Rose Hill are the hosts, Robert and Patti (who assists award-winning Chad Fry in the kitchen), who removed themselves from the San Antonio rat race to create the dream life. They're a blast to talk to, hilarious, informative about the area and take great pride in their proprietorship. A true find where one feels instantly welcome...as it should be.

Rose Hill Manor is the quintessential luxury B&B! We were recently gifted a night here with dear friends and had a fantastic experience. There is a complimentary wine tasting at the Pedernales Cellars Winery next door upon arrival. A three course breakfast is included with your room and on weekends, a three course dinner is included. Keep this in mind since prices are higher on the weekends. Our room, in the main house, "The Sunrise Suite", situated upstairs, has a sitting room and half the entire upper balcony. A flat screen television in the large bedroom and a triple sheeted king size bed, lovely bedding and pillows, a bathroom with fluffy towels, bath gel and soaps, a microwave, coffee maker and coffee, small refrigerator and large comfy chairs round out the long list of amenities. Before dinner we sat on the balcony, enjoyed the amazing vista and mused about life while sipping wine and watching the sun go down. Dinner was fabulous with a salad of mixed greens dotted with cranberries, walnuts and bleu cheese, stuffed quail and veggies, and a delightful vanilla creme brûlée for dessert with coffee. And of course more wine and delicious port. We were full, boozy and very spoiled by bedtime! Breakfast is from 8 to 9 a.m. and you will turn in your three course choices the night before. I loved my first course, a lovely fruit dish and gluten free muffin with a dark chocolate glaze created with Namaste Gluten Free flour. Had I not already fallen in love with Chef Joseph, this would have done it! A delicious sausage and egg dish and coffee made breakfast almost two meals for me. If you love to be pampered and eat fabulous food (and who doesn't?) this is the place for you. The expansive property is stunning and you will laugh with the owners, Robert and Patti ("Red"), and get to know the fantastic staff. This is the only place I will ever stay in Fredericksburg so be forewarned, they will spoil your butt off!

You can't find better in the Texas wine country. Located conveniently between Fredericksburg and Johnson City, a couple of miles from 290, this is the perfect, relaxing, luxury spot for a weekend of wine tasting. You can stay in the main house with beautiful views from the second floor veranda or, as we prefer, get a private cottage just a short walking distance. The private cottage offers a comfortable bed, sitting area and private deck with comfy chairs to enjoy wine, a cigar and a quiet Texas night with endless stars in the sky. There's also a fire pit to keep warm on a cool night. Breakfast is served every morning and features tasty egg frittata, waffles or a choice of other gourmet entrees. The main house has a wide selection of wines for purchase and cozy rooms to read or play table games. The hosts offer a free tasting at Pedernales Winery next property over connected by a boardwalk. The Rose Hill Manor is the Hill Country's top weekend lodging in my opinion!

My partner and I stayed at this delightful small inn with our dear Texas friends on our road trip to discover the Texas Hill Country together. Totally recommend staying in one of their four "Herb Garden Cottages": we loved the Rosemary cottage. The sweeping country views from the deck were magnificent, where I spent most mornings reading a book and sipping good filter coffee. Breakfasts were hearty and delightful. One evening during our stay, we enjoyed a formal dinner in their restaurant. Service was super friendly all the time - we were made to feel right at home. Several wineries are located nearby (one, right next door, which we walked to!). We rented a limo service to take us to wineries, and this can easily be done by the helpful concierge staff at the inn. Visiting the nearby town of Fredericksburg is a must, with many high quality shops, galleries, and restaurants. Further, going to see the "Texas White House" on the L.B.J. Ranch (a U.S. National Historic Park), was another highlight of our visit to the region. As a rural break from Dallas-Ft. Worth, the Rose Hill Manor comes highly recommended as restful place to stay in the heart of Texas Hill Country.

Wow! Beautiful views, lovely suites. So worth the drive. Don't miss out. Walking distant to a winery and 5 star accommodations.

Dining at Rose Hill is a great way to see the sunset.

My favorite thing about Rose Hill Manor are the views of the Texas Hill Country. We had a delicious three course dinner with views of the majestic sunset. You won't be disappointed with the service and atmosphere of this lovely bed and breakfast.

View from main house.

Very nice classic rooms with good view of hill country. Quiet setting with nice relaxing balconies and patios. Good breakfast brought to room due to COVID.

We opted to wait and 15 min later we were outside enjoying the weather. Our server was awesome - unfortunately the rest of the service was not. We ordered two whiskey cocktails and they were very watered down. We then split a burger and fries and the buns were soaked in grease so badly we could squeeze it out of the bun. The server agreed it was bad and without us asking, she put in for another burger, which was awesome. The second one came out and it was better. I had asked for ranch with the first burger, never got it, asked again with the second and it arrived from the kitchen at the end of the meal. Nothing seemed to be going right and our server was in the weeds. I felt bad for her. Don't think I'd be back again with so many other options.

Unfortunately, this experience felt less like a restaurant opening and more like a dress rehearsal no one stopped. First problem: location confusion. We went to what turned out to be their second spot--which, crucially, was not called Nurys on the sign. Same ownership, new space, old identity crisis. Walking in felt like entering a building that hadn't yet decided what it wanted to be when it grew up. The lingering aroma? A strange duet of fish, antiseptic, and industrial cleaning agents. Not hunger-inducing. More "urgent care with a fryer." There was no one there, which made sense--it was between brunch and lunch--but somehow the wait for food felt disproportionately long for what arrived. What arrived, sadly, was mediocrity wearing a Tex-Mex costume. They seemed to be aiming for Tex-Mex but landed somewhere closer to Tex-Flex--stretching flavors thin until they snapped. The barbacoa was fatty in a way that suggested less "slow-cooked tradition" and more "glistening regret." It didn't taste authentic, or even especially intentional. Just heavy. The guacamole--perhaps the most unforgivable offense--was bad. Guacamole is avocados, salt, lime, and love. That's it. This had none of the above. The waitstaff wasn't rude, exactly--just possessed by the clear energy of people who would prefer you to finish quickly so they could resume their real lives. Hospitality should feel like an invitation, not a countdown. Now, maybe the original Nurys is wonderful. I hope it is. But if that's the case, why open a second location only to phone it in? Expansion should mean excellence multiplied, not care divided. There are too many good places in Fredericksburg doing things right to settle for something half-hearted. This one wasn't terrible--it was worse. It was forgettable. And that's the real disappointment.

A whole grain mustard crème fraîche is drizzled over the top and pooled underneath, and a swoosh of bright herb oil around the plate cuts through the fried richness.

A hand-breaded duck breast is fried to a deep golden crust and crowned with a sunny-side-up egg, its yolk begging to be broken. Underneath is a hearty plate: käsespätzle on one side, sweet-tart braised red cabbage on the other, and a glossy kirsch demi-glace studded with whole dark cherries tying it all together. Duck and cherry is a classic pairing, and here it gives the schnitzel a depth you won't find in a standard pork version. It's rich and generous, and it's best shared with someone hungry.
