My wife expects 5 star resorts and she said this place exceeded the typical 5 star experience. The bedding, linens, amenities were awesome. They had live music and great food and drink options at the head cabin. Every cabin felt private and unique and the babbling creek and ponds along the Creekside were so relaxing to sit by with lots of Adirondack chairs overlooking the creek and rocking chairs on the cabin porches. We also chose this place because they allowed my Australian Shepard to come (only some cabins). The whole experience was amazing and only a 5 minute drive to the main strip. Don't miss a tour of Signor Vineyards, a 10 minute drive West. The most beautiful vineyard and cool experience!

I understand that the cabins are old, and authentic but it would help a little. I would also recommend a little better dusting, around window sills, and windows/curtains, a fair amount of dust that came off, every time we closed the blinds or pulled the curtains. That is the only reason I rated it a 4 instead of 5.

Unfortunately we were only in the area one day but we truly enjoyed our stay. The rooms were very nice as well as the outdoor seating area. There were chairs as well as a firepit on the raised deck and a bench by the front door with a nice new rug to really brighten things up. There was also a barbecue pit to use as well as a small refrigerator and microwave as well as dishes for your use. Since we were only staying one night I chose the smaller of the cabins however it was really plenty of room. You walk into a little sitting area and then the main room you have a nice bed, which was extremely comfortable and table for two. A bar area that has dishes, a coffee pot and all the accessories. The breakfast was so much better than the free breakfast offered at hotels. She provided pasties and fruit to start along with coffee, juice and water. While enjoying those, she then prepared made to order eggs, home fries and bacon. We will definitely be returning and staying longer.

Peggy is the very nicest you'll ever find for a host and the whole town of Utopia mimics true hospitality. I don't want to leave and I can't wait to come back!

Bend o' the River even let us use their golf cart to drive the couple of hundred yards to their river access, which even has steps into the water. Peggy and Ron were fabulous hosts. I highly recommend Bend o' the River.

We went in…read moreto this knowing it was on a busy road, but that was one of the bonuses, because we were in walking distance of everything. We really only heard traffic during the day, it was pretty quiet at night, and day traffic didn't bother us. We stayed in Winterberry, and we sat on the cute porch in the evening with citronella (my boyfriend is a mosquito magnet, lol) and lightning bugs. The bed was a little more firm than we were expecting, but we still slept fine. I should also preface that we sleep with a box fan on low for white noise. We were there during the week so there wasn't really any noise from other guests, only a few people were there. I will make note that you can see straight down into Winterberry from the door of the second floor cabin next door. We forgot to tell Debbie, the manager, about that, but it can easily be fixed with a simple window covering. There was no one in that room while we were there so it wasn't a big deal. Debbie was truly delightful, very sweet. She brought the biscuit basket we ordered for our final morning. The biscuits were really very good, they come in the cutest setup, with the biscuits sitting on a bread warmer. Great experience overall. If we vacation in Fredericksburg again, we will definitely stay here.

The front porch/balcony was the perfect place to read, watch the sunrise, and enjoy the birds. The "backyard" had a gorgeous view of the hills and had a picnic table, campfire, and bbq to make dinner and s'mores watch the sunset. The cabin itself was stocked with everything you need from kitchen utensils to coffee to extra blankets. Also, the living room had tons of entertainment like board games, movies, and books. Our favorite part of every night was reading and talking in front of the fireplace. The bed was massive and comfortable with cedar walls that made the room smell so cozy. Outside, there was a small clearing where we laid and star gazed, and one night a deer ran by us! Even the road to get to this place was absolutely stunning. My only suggestions would be better lighting in the bedroom, a bigger bathroom mirror, and curtains or blinds on the front windows. But I would definitely return here--we felt safe and it was wonderful in every way.

It is cute if you do not look closely. The house needs to be thoroughly cleaned for dust and mold. There was dust dropping from vents. It needs updated electrical and plumbing. The bathroom lights flickered downstairs, the bathrooms had numerous moths or some type of flying winged insect in them, one downstair's bathroom had a wet floor by the toilet which may have been from a leaky toilet or pipes under the floor. The numerous flying insects were to me an indication that there was something wrong underneath the surface. The flying insects were seen day and night.

You approach the resort by dirt roads, but they are well maintained and no problem for our sedan. The Tesla nav system was accurate. We had no problems getting there and back. Kelly and Brian are excellent hosts. Brian can regale you with many anecdotes from Central Texas history, most of which I had not heard before, even though we've lived in the Lone Star State for 38 years. Our room was quiet, cool, and comfortable. The lobby is also quiet and is a great place to sit and read. There are two very sweet dogs that have the run of the place. We had a lot of fun interacting with them. You can walk the grounds and along the dirt roads with nearly zero traffic. I do recommend sturdy hiking boots, as cockleburrs are plentiful. There are also venomous snakes in this area, although we did not see any. Better safe than sorry. We will certainly return. I'm thinking March or April will be perfect to catch the wildflowers and get in before the summer heat. Please the attached photo captions for additional comments.

The beds are comfy - (I've since been back for a weekend stay and due to the room I initially rented being booked I had an opportunity to stay in another room which was equally nice!) The eclectic decor is quaint and the noise is non-existent (unless you consider peaceful wind chimes or chipping birds 'noise'). The host is soooo sweet, a total breath of fresh air! Since she is a licensed massage therapist I took advantage of her 'magic hands'! Just FYI- I've had probably 100 massages in my life and hands down... Karen (the host) gave me THE BEST massage I've ever had!!! Too bad it's only available to guests or I'd get one once a month from her! The view is absolutely SURREAL! The pictures don't really do justice. At night, you can literally see all the stars since there isn't light pollution out there. When I stayed for the week, after dinner each night I would take a dip in the jacuzzi and watch the sun go down. I'm usually a night owl but I went to bed rather early (at 10:30) so I could wake up and catch the sunrise too!!! Everyday was different and they were so cool I didn't want to miss them! There isn't TV in the rooms... I wasn't sure how I would feel about this. I actually really enjoyed it. When I was in my room I listened to music and journaled. If you're wondering what else there is up do without the TV... Let me assure you won't get bored even if you don't leave the property! Aside from journaling, my daily massages and my routine 'after dinner dip' I spent my time there hiking cool trails (there is a cave), playing in the art room (equipped with all kinds of things to create the coolest stuff), and reading. Karen also lends a great ear if you feel like socializing. She never intruded but was available when I wanted to have some conversation. She's so humble and easy to talk to... I opened up to tell her some of my current struggles and after allowing me to share she had some really practical and useful ideas on what to do. She's a wise lady and I appreciated her taking the time to help me. On another note... I eat only paleo which requires a lot of prep work and cooking... Making it hard for me to stay in a hotel without eating out for every meal (which is also hard to do when you live a paleo lifestyle). Anyway... Karen is a ridiculously fabulous cook! I had to get some of her recipes so I could cook them and home for myself! I'm still eating one of the dishes she made me at least weekly! If you want to adventure around the area... I suggest spending a day in Boerne and another day in Banderra. Both towns neighbor the small town Pipe Creek is in. While they are both charming country towns they are very different... Banderra is more rugged cowboy country and Boerne is a bit more upscale. I thoroughly enjoyed both (the second time I stayed here I brought a friend who wanted to explore).
