    If you are looking for a posh, trendy, get away this is not your place! If you are looking for an adorable, CLEAN, cabin-esque getaway that happens to be right next to an amazing mountain bike trail, this is definitely your place! Our 15 year old was able to ride to and from the bike trails/lift and take breaks from the 100°+ heat as often as he needed (which made the non-biking parents very happy ) and we were able to bring our dogs so the whole family was happy!

    Our room looked very unclean. The lights and TV didn't work too well. The dishes were dirty, mildew all over the bathroom. Wifi is advertised, but it didn't reach our cabin There were good places to fish. They need to reinvest and keep up the cabins they have instead of building new cabins.

    Our cabin was clean and smelt good, the owners/workers were super friendly. It was very relaxing and peaceful place. We will definitely be back. Lots of dock space to fish from

    This family run resort has been restful for us twice now. We love the boat slip and lake view from our room. Clean but still relaxed. Fish from the dock or from land. We took our kayaks and sailboat.

    We stayed over the Labor Day holiday. Rooms are decent. Could use a few upgrades on bedding and mattresses. Perhaps a few more dishes like cookie sheets for grilled goodies. Property is clean and well taken care of. The staff is super friendly and attentive. Some adirondack chairs for lounging down by the boat slips while the wives wait for their hubby a would be a nice touch. This is my 3rd time staying here and it never disappoints. Price is decent too. We will be back!

    Cabin 12 is supposed to be a resort property with a lake view. It is actually run down, smells bad and has no lake view.

    I must say this is a great place just to get away from it all and relax and enjoy yourself.

    Ok so this is really like 3.5 stars but I hate to round down…read more This Best Western does the absolute best it can with what it has to work with and is a solid value for the price. The pros: - Staff is very attentive, friendly and helpful - Rooms are clean and reasonably spacious - Rooms have been updated recently - Beds are comfortable and sheets are fine - Fair amount of basic cable options - Breakfast is good The cons: - Building is old and I don't personally love the motel system - Pillows are really awful. They are half size and lumpy - No coffee makers in room (why?????) - Clientele is. . .mixed. On the plus side, no obvious drug deals, so better than any place in Amarillo - Water pressure is low and water smells of sulphur, but that's not really the hotel's fault

I parked right in front of my door, and while I had my reservations (it's been a while since I stayed in a motel), the room exceeded expectations. It smelled neutral, the carpet looked new, bathroom was spotless--no dirty grout or stray hairs. Shampoo, conditioner, soap, and a blow dryer were all provided. I was woken by sirens during the night. The front desk explained that, due to the location off Hwy 29, wrecks are pretty common in the area. Breakfast was another pleasant surprise. The area was clean and well-kept, and an employee even got cereal and milk for my child. As guests left, he promptly cleaned and reset tables for the next group. The motel is conveniently located next to a gas station in case you need anything. The pillows weren't my favorite, but they were fine. I did feel the price was a bit high, likely due to camp season and the property's close proximity to nearby camps. All in all, I'd stay again.

    This is a cute property right off Lake Buchanan…read more The property has a fishing pier with three poach swings and is lit up at night as well. There's a lounge area, that might have been a swim area but the lake was extremely low when we visited, so I'm not sure. There a patio with a grill, fish fry and smoker for guest to use and some hammocks. I think they used to rent kayaks and stuff but the owner said they were damaged in a recent storm, and there is a boat ramp. The rooms are spacious, with a kitchenette, and very clean. The bed was comfortable and the AC worked great in the unit. The shower is small and had no hot water, which was barely tolerable was we did not visit when it was hot outside. Also lake gnats. They are everywhere and while completely harmless, they do get in your room even when you are careful. In the back is a long, open patio area with chairs and grills that can be used. This is a shared space with your neighbors. It's definitely a place to go and relax for a few days. It would be good for fishing, lake activities and reading. The owner was very nice and communicative. Although I saw in another review that this place was pet friendly, and that is NOT true. There are sign's everywhere that say no pets and there's extra fees if they stay with you.

First, it's gated, so only guests staying at the inn are there. All the regular rooms are in one long building. That means everyone has the same back patio, which I didn't like. Whether your just relaxing, or cooking on the included grill, it puts your neighbors too close to you. But what a view of the sunset! The swimming area is a little small if a lot of people are there, but just great when it's not crowded. The rooms are very basic, but have everything you need. Beds were soft and the A/C worked like a champ. I booked Saturday and Sunday nights, so the second day we were the only ones there. Peace and quiet! We swam. We fished. Well, actually we just fed the fish, cause we sure didn't catch any. There was an automatic fish feeder on the dock. When it went off in the dark, it scared the s**t out of Glenda. I laughed so hard! At night, they fired up the fire pit, which was really nice. There is a container in the frig which had stuff to make s'mores If you want to. We just kicked back and relaxed. After 34 years with me, you need a little relaxation! We took walks around the neighborhood. There were deer everywhere! And some friendly. This is a very nice place if your looking for a weekend retreat. I thought it was a little pricy, but everywhere has gone in that direction. Pay up buddy! By the way, it's right across the cove from the Vanishing Texas River Cruise, which we definitely enjoyed.

The guys at Templeton's Tavern get 5 stars for the friendliest and best service ever. They made us feel very welcome and right at home with many above-and-beyond moments like bringing us an extra pickleball racket to the court when they noticed another family member show up to play. The food and drinks were great. The games and pool table were super fun. We enjoyed the live weekend music from our patio while we cooked hotdogs and s'mores over the fire. Andrea was stellar with quick communication! Housekeeping gets 5 stars because it was really impressively clean. We had everything we needed in the kitchen and the beds were very comfortable. The grounds are well kept and we enjoyed hiking around and seeing the beautiful wildflowers. I can't say enough good things about this place. It is unique and combines all the beauty of nature with all the comforts of home and lots of attention to detail in decor and service. The container cabins are really very pretty and the spider sculptures are a neat touch. The sunset view is so amazing my tween girl ordered us all to the upstairs balcony to take it in. This is the perfect place to hang out with friends and family. We were sad to leave and will 100% be back. Best Spring Break ever.

The furnishings are tore up, even though you pay a $75 cleaning fee they require you to strip the beds, wash the dishes, and take all your garbage to the dumpster that isn't close. The WATER! Smells like a mixture of vomit and sewage that you bathe in. The restaurant/bar is a food truck and some bartenders that sat on top of the cooler for the night. Bun on sandwich was so burnt you couldn't eat it and when I left a google review the owner said I was rude so I guess that is all ok with her! Be careful though, they spy on you while you are there. 30 mintues before checkouT the "housekeeper" cased the place and then parked in front of the dumpsters and watched us... so creepy. Don't waste your money. It's HORRID, plus read the review on Google that says the same thing and the owners response. I'm rude because I kindly called out you overcharge for a dump! I am calling the health department on that food truck they call a restaurant and it. Is Luke a old creepy murder movie they way they spy on you in the dilapidated grounds...gross!
