We stayed at the main house on the creek next to Alexander's Restaurant …read more The house is beautiful. We loved our rooms and the view of the creek. The young lady working the front --Janai--was so helpful and kind. An amazing asset to their organization. We discovered Alexander's has the best bread pudding that my friend and I had ever had. My only complaint is breakfast was not at the house. I was looking forward to the continued ambiance of the house.

This is our first time to stay here at the Inn on the Creek and it is wonderful…read more We stayed in the Aiken room and it is a very cozy cute room. The clawed tub is very charming that will whisk you away back in time. You'll definitely get a great night's sleep on the bed because it is very comfortable. The sheets are made of unmatched quality are fit for a king and queen. We liked the sheets so much we actually bought a set for our king sized bed at home. We've had the pleasure of meeting Jason, Katie, and Neil the owner and they've made us feel like family while here. When you stay here you definitely have to check out the Shed restaurant and Alexander's. The food at the Shed is exceptional we did the sampler plate, burgers, and cheese curds. They were great. You'll also want to eat at Alexander's on the property at the Inn as the food is phenomenal. We did the beef tenderloin and it was cooked to perfection along with the crab cakes and autumn bread pudding! If you're not staying at the Inn on the Creek you're missing out. Breakfast in the morning was stellar as well the atmosphere and people have been great. We definitely tip our hats off to all of the staff we've seen, and those working behind the scenes. You're taste buds will thank you once you eat at The Shed and Alexander's as their food is to die for! If you've haven't booked a stay here you will be disappointed if you go anywhere else. The Inn on the Creek truly is a hidden gem that you're going to love!!! From all of us at Texas Blue Courage Company LLC thank you for such amazing hospitality! Respectfully, Justin and Sheila Kmiec

I just had my wedding here!!!!…read more This is the best venue for your wedding. Most everything is already taken care of. In fact, your wedding planner which is provided to you by the Inn will help you with everything you need help with to have a beautiful wedding. The grounds are so quaint and cute we could not resist choosing this location. I was a worry free bride because I didn't have to plan the small stuff. You have to check this place out for yourself. It is worth the short drive from Austin. I HIGHLY recommend.

So much potential here. Really old gorgeous building that needs some work but hey, that's expected…read more Some small improvements would help: the front desk girl was kinda odd, not super friendly and didn't give a lot of info including about breakfast. The gal who delivered our breakfast was so sweet but the breakfast could be better. Even just investing in some nice trays and actual plates vs foam would make it so much more special. Also unimportant but a "little thing" would be better soaps and shampoo. "Eco soap" isn't super exciting. Really nice grounds though.

Great, well-priced activity for kiddos! We did the self-guided tour, which is $20 for two people. I…read morewas unsure if they had any sort of "kids under 2 are free" type policy, so I wasn't sure if my 22-month-old counted as part of our two, but the website said you could pay $10 for additional people when you're at the farm, so I did not worry about it. We weren't charged more at the farm, but still not sure what the official policy is. My husband, I, our toddler, and newborn went on a Saturday morning and had the place to ourselves. You book in advance on the website, and the self-guided tour is booked for 45 minutes. We saw a cow, alpaca, their famed mini-highland cow, chickens, dogs, ducks, a pig, baby (or small) goats, geese, an emu, and rabbits. The geese were a bit aggressive, but Renee put them away for us, which was much appreciated. The alpaca and ducks didn't want much to do with us, but the emu, goats, dogs, and pig were all very friendly. The cow was also very chill and didn't mind us petting him, but wasn't enthusiastic about our presence. I was a little freaked out by the emu, Lulu, but Renee assured us that she was curious but harmless and by the end we were all great friends. Some things to know: do not wear your best shoes. There are, understandably, animal droppings everywhere. There is a walking path from where you park to where you pet the animals, but the animal area is not stroller-friendly. Also, the goats may try to eat your stroller, which can't be good for them. I just baby-wore, and that worked great for us; we'll plan to do that from the start next time. The instructions say to park and then walk up to the big red barn. There were two red barns and nobody at either of them, so we weren't entirely sure if we needed to check-in or something. We also weren't sure if we could just start petting the animals we saw or if there was a specific place we were supposed to be. Renee came out after we'd been there about 10 minutes and chatted for a bit, but having someone greet us and tell us where to start, or at least some clear signage, would have given this the 5th star.

They said the animals that were there for the guests to pet and love on were all cuddly and very comfortable being around people. The hostess on the farm was very eager to please, she was warm and welcoming. The Experience included a charcuterie tray and bottle of wine for the evening. One thing my son talked about was how clear the stars were they could sit outside and look up at the stars and really see them because there was little to know light pollution.

We live locally and this allowed us to achieve our goal even with the extreme schedule we have with kids at home and my wife in school.

Do not book here unless you're ok with rat poop everywhere, as in on your silverware, plates and in…read morethe "breakfast" they leave in a mini fridge. The explanation from the owner was, "when it rains the rats come inside." That aside, the mattresses and bedding are horribly old and uncomfortable. How one of the reviews for this place(which is from four years ago) could possibly say that the bedding is lush and comfortable is INSANE. The a/c was also not on when we arrived so it took well over an hour for the cottage to become comfortable. I was also very afraid to use the jacuzzi tub as it was dirty with yes, more rat poop but the nozzles also looked dirty and who knows how old that tub really is so a bath was forgone. They don't send a confirmation email of your booking even though I was told twice I would receive one and beware of substantial additional charges that are not disclosed up front. Our stay ended up costing over $100 more than expected because of those extra fees. The cost of staying here is an absolute joke for the accommodations which are dirty and highly uncomfortable. Another guest who stayed when we did reported a similar experience. I don't know how they are staying in business because anyone that has the experience we did will certainly never come back and I hope that the people who read this find any other housing option, this place is not worth your money. There are plenty of other B&Bs with great location close to the shops and will not ruin your trip.

I'm sure it was a beautiful location when it was built but the lack of attention to landscape and upkeep are obvious. It is grown up with lots of vines and brush, some even rub on the sides of your vehicle. The food that was left was quite tasty. Once inside the cabin, it had a rustic vibe without an updated feel. The 13 inch tv and spotty internet was a disappointment. It was clean, but very overpriced.

Our church hosted a family retreat at Gathering Oaks earlier this month and everyone involved had a…read morereally great time. My husband and I were part of the kitchen/meal crew and stayed in the Gathering House. The kitchen was quite well-stocked and the extra fridge around the corner + extra storage space was much needed. We did have to bring some of our own equipment but we were thoroughly prepared to do so because Gathering Oaks provided all the information about what was available at the retreat center ahead of time. The sound proofing isn't the greatest in the main house for those staying in the ground floor rooms, but that didn't really end up mattering too much since I'm a pretty deep sleeper. Those who wake up more easily from loud noises may not have as easy a time staying in one of the bedrooms in the Gathering House. The facilities are all very well kept and the kids had a great time with the outdoor activities and the fire pit at night. Would definitely consider Gathering Oaks in the future for smaller retreats (about 40-60 people max).
