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

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.

It's like someone tried to slap lipstick on a goat and call it a getaway. Everything felt sorta clean... like "good enough if no one looks too close" clean. The house was barely ready, and don't get me started on the random weeds and junk out back. Then there was a full-on wedding using the amenities, and the Tubbs didn't warn us at all. Add in some snippy parking attendant and... PeeeeYew the whole visit stunk And the hosts? At first they apologized for screwing up... then ghosted like moody teenagers when I followed up. Total lack of effort, zero pride, and no clue how to run a proper guest stay. My money is on all their stars are... Incentivized, but that's just what I think; who knows? I've stayed in barns with more hospitality. Literally.

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).

We stayed very, very recently in one of the tiny homes for a mini-vacation with the kids. The…read moreproperty is beautiful and the tiny home was more than adequate. However, on the listing it mentions there are no hidden fees. This is the first place with a hot tub that had it replaced with a cold tub. As it turns out, they want an add-on cost of $100.00 to turn the heat on the hot tub. I am sure there is an excuse, but it is probably ridiculous since this is not an industry standard.
