My new husband and I came here for a weekend for a quick honeymoon get away. We were living in…read moreAustin at the time, got married on Thursday, and had to move to Houston on Monday. We didn't have any time to take an awesome honeymoon, but we still needed to take some time alone to celebrate. This place was far enough away from home to make it feel like a trip, but close enough to Austin that we could quickly return to real life. The home is very beautiful and secluded, located on a very quiet country road with nothing but pasteurs and cows surrounding it. As soon as we pulled into the driveway, we spotted 4 deer having a snack in the front yard! As the name suggests, the property is covered in mature oak trees that add to the natural beauty. We stayed in the Burr Oak room, which is on the second floor and has a private balcony. When we arrived, the lady of the house had 2 giant chocolate dipped strawberries in our room waiting for us. I thought that was a very sweet touch. The room had a very nice queen bed, a tv, and a big bathroom that is shared with the next room. Luckily we were the only guests in the house, so we didn't have to deal with anyone else. Right outside of our bedroom was the game room. Lots of board games and books for quiet entertainment, as well as a mini fridge stocked with drinks and sweets. The balcony was wonderful. It had two very comfy chairs and a patio table. We set up the checker board and spent many hours out there playing. As we were not familiar with the area at all, we had driven into New Braunsfels for lunch. The lady told us that was completely unnecessary because San Antonio was right down the road. A very quick drive to the end of the street, and you were in the city filled with many many options for dinner. We had a key to the house, and the owners do not stay in the house, but in the guest house out back, but if I remember correctly, there was a suggested time to be back and have the doors locked. The lady that runs the B&B was so friendly! My husband is Indian, and she had many stories to tell about her trips to India. We are also both vegetarian, and it turned out her daughter was also vegetarian, so she was well versed in creating meatless gourmet meals! We woke up the next morning to a delicious breakfast of poached pears, avocado and asparagus frittata, and an almond and fruit cake that was apparently something she had eaten while in India. The next morning, she prepared a delicious country breakfast with biscuits and gravy with soy sausage and eggs. After breakfast, we went outside to meet the animals. There were several feisty chickens in the backyard strutting around and grazing and a very nonchalant cat that was apparently not a big fan of strangers. This place was very charming and it was much nicer than staying in an icky hotel somewhere. It was lovely to get away and be in nature and have a wonderfully delicious breakfast made with care and love each morning.

I got everything I pictured. It was so simple, beautiful and absolutely stressless. The breakfasts we had both mornings were different and completely fabulous while we were able to watch the chickens while eating breakfast just made it perfect. If I had to recommend a place to get married I would recommend this place. They made you feel like you were the first and only wedding they would ever have there. Thank you so much for everything you did.

If you're looking for a relaxing Bed & Breakfast in the Texas Hill…read moreCountry with super hospitality, a pool, and beautiful lake views, Justin & Jean Robinson's "Lakehouse Bed and Breakfast at Canyon Lake", managed by Justin as "operator and breakfast chef" is the place to go ! We stayed there from Thursday April 23rd - Sunday April 26th 2026. It was like living in an Italian Villa and you would be hard pressed to find a more gracious host and chef than Justin anywhere ! He's been doing this for over twenty years ! We arrived at the Lakehouse around 3:00 pm and were immediately welcomed by Justin who carried our bags to our upstairs Medici Room and gave us a tour of the house. Justin also provided us with excellent tips on things to see and do in the area, as well as suggestions for restaurants for lunches and dinners. Thursday evening, we ate dinner on the outside patio of Gennaro's Trattoria where we enjoyed their Authentic Italian Kitchen. Friday morning, we enjoyed a delicious omelet breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room overlooking Canyon Lake and great conversation with other guests. Following breakfast, we took a leisurely drive down River Road to the quaint town of Gruene (that's pronounced "Green"). There, we had lunch at the Gruene River Grill, followed by a relaxing stroll through the many antique and boutique shops in Gruene, and a visit to Gruene Hall, Texas' Oldest Dance Hall. We then returned to Canyon Lake and enjoyed some merlot wine and cheese and crackers (which we had brought with us) on the Lakehouse's covered outdoor patio overlooking Canyon Lake. We had dinner at Canyon Lake's Wildflour Artisan Bakery & Grill which offers a full menu. On Saturday morning, we enjoyed a delicious Belgian waffle breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room. Following breakfast, we drove to the town of Blanco and visited Arnosky's Flower Farm. After walking around the beautiful flower fields, we bought some beverages and snacks inside Arnosky's barn and sat in the chairs on the barn's covered back porch patio overlooking the flower fields, humming bee feeders, and bird feeders. You could sit there a long time as the scene is ever changing. From Arnosky's, we drove to Tillman's Cabin Resort in Blanco and ate lunch at the Rio Blanco Café overlooking the Blanco river. After lunch, we drove to the original 1885 Blanco Court House in downtown Blanco where we took a leisurely self-guided tour of the courthouse. We also visited Blanco's many antique and boutique shops. Saturday evening, we attended the 4 pm mass at Canyon Lake's St. Thomas The Apostle Church. At the end of mass, we witnessed one of their congregants step up to the lectern with the pastor's approval, talk about what the bible says about a wife, ask the lady in the front row next to us to step forward, and then bent down on one knee and asked her to marry him in front of the entire church congregation, and she said "YES" and they kissed. What a beautiful proposal ! Following mass, we had dinner on the outside patio of Canyon Lake's Elio's Osteria e Pizzeria. On the evening drive back to the Lakehouse, we saw lots of white tail deer in the neighborhood. On Sunday morning, we enjoyed a delicious scone and quiche breakfast in the Lakehouse breakfast room. We again enjoyed conversing with the other guests as we had every day, and then we packed and headed home. Sorry for the length of this review but my wife and I thought readers might enjoy hearing about what one can do from The Lakehouse Bed and Breakfast at Canyon Lake. The Lakehouse is centrally located in the Texas Hill Country and opens this area up to you like a box of chocolates!

This private access room includes its own balcony with a hot tub and stunning views of Canyon Lake. The room itself is decorated beautifully and the king bed is super-comfortable. The private on-property pool was the perfect place to spend a sunny afternoon. I agree with all the previous visitors who raved about Justin's fantastic breakfasts! Day 1 included orange scones and a delicious zucchini fritatta and roasted potatoes - incredible. Day 2, by special request, included strawberries Romanov and eggs benedict with sausage. Thank you, Justin, for the wonderful food and conversation. We highly recommend this gem and can't wait to visit again soon!

We decided on some quiet time in the Texas hill country far away from the Spring Breakers. We came…read moreacross this place online and liked the reviews. Keep in mind when you're trying to get away from it all, you are also gonna find that there's not as much to do either. There's a handful of restaurants, bars and thrift shops and one thing that we noticed is that many of these places are closed on Monday and/or Tuesday. On our arrival at this B&B we were welcomed by Keith and Darrin.......and the cat. This husband and wife team do a great job of making your stay here enjoyable. Breakfast is included with your stay, and it is a lot better than anything you'll get at a comfort inn (see photos). You can eat in the dining room or take a tray upstairs to your room. Now for the inn itself. This is not a house that was later turned into a B&B, it was actually designed as a B&B from the start. Each room has its own balcony and bathroom. The place has a nice rustic feel about it, but it does not have that musty or moldy smell that some old buildings have. The building itself is about 20 years old and is in very nice clean shape. The rooms have wooden creaking floors and the furnishings look as though they're from the 80s and 90s. The amenities include a mini fridge, a Keurig, artificial fireplace and a flatscreen. Since half of your stay here is spent on a bed, each room has a king size bed that is made with coiled mattress springs, not memory foam. We found it to be a little bit softer than we prefer and there is a subtle trampoline effect when your partner moves in the night. Our room had an additional twin bed which my wife preferred after the first night. Our room had a spacious balcony on the corner of the house that overlooks the backyard all the way to Canyon Lake a few miles away. And speaking of the lake, there is no trail that leads from the B&B to the lake, you will have to drive there. However, on those early misting mornings, you'll most likely see deer below your balcony. There was plenty of hot water in the shower and the bathtub came equipped with air jets. I have included pictures of the other rooms here, just not ours. One other facet about this B&B is that it makes a great small venue for a wedding outside and you can book the rooms for your guests. An added benefit is that Darrin owns a floral business on the property. Massages are also offered here. However, I do need to point out that parking is very limited here and street parking is not an option. We spent five quiet nights here in March for the sum total of $1080. There's plenty of pictures here to help with your decision.

I just happened to see something come through my newsfeed over Fb, I bookmarked it, found my schedule open, so headed east to check it out. Emma likes to play in her room... and who doesn't like to play with little spirits?! I didn't know the history of the Magnolia Hotel so was totally clueless walking in the door... Magnolia Hotel has been on Ghost Adventures on Travel Channel. Also, Magnolia Hotel is ~not~ a hotel, it is now a personal residence. To my delight, I was able to hear stories of the old hotel, tales of it's past residents many of which have never left, and how Magnolia Hotel was discovered by the owners. Jim & Erin saved the Magnolia from being demolished... they single handedly have saved a part of Seguin history!... and some haunted history at that! I spent about two hours just hanging out, looking around, and people watching... talked to some interesting people, listening to questions and answers... all very interesting. Did I have an experience? I had something creepy go up the back of my left neck and skull as I was talking to a ghost hunter in the original dining area where the owner was sitting. I also felt some weird things around the house... but something I brushed off at first until I started listening to others talk about it... when you first come up the stairs, it feels really heavy. I originally brushed it off as I just walked up the stairs... but no, go back and you feel it... and everyone was feeling it!!! Emma was playing in her room. One of the guides said just a few minutes earlier, a little girl got scratched. Then someone told her that they saw the door knob in the pink bathroom turn back and forth. The owner, Erin, said this house is more active during the day than at night. Wow! The owners Jim & Erin host a ghost tour in their home on occasion, which books up months in advance. The tour last about 2 hours with in-depth stories which might also include a spiritual reading from the Erin at the end (but only if deceased wish to come forward). Erin has written Haunted New Braunfels, Haunted Seguin, and soon to be released Haunted Magnolia House. All proceeds go towards restoring the Magnolia Hotel. I can not wait to go on their ghost tour!

Stayed here during a weekend getaway to San Antonio…read more We have now stayed at numerous Drury Inns and they all have been pretty dated, including this one. Looked it up and this hotel was built in 2004 and "renovated" in 2016. But the golden oak/honey oak woodwork and dark granite SCREAMS early 2000s. Meh. Despite the older style, the hotel itself was super clean, including our 2 queen room. The beds were comfy and the ac blasted cold air! We like that this hotel offers both breakfast AND dinners. We wouldn't say the food is super duper amazing but for FREE, it's good enough. We went down to dinner around 6pm and most items were out/close to out. They ended up refilling them and we went back up. Saturday night was pulled pork sliders, coleslaw, baked beans, hotdogs, nachos, chili, salad. We don't drink alcohol but 2 free drinks per adult per night are included. The kids like the nightly popcorn and soda as well. The kids tried out the INDOOR pool but lasted only like 5 minutes in there. Comments were that the water was cold and it was too crowded. (There had to be like 20 other people, mainly kids in there too). It was loud and echoing in there. Didn't check out the fitness room or laundry facility. I have to say the staff here were AMAZING. I don't know how but they ALWAYS seem to be in amazing moods. So friendly and welcoming. They go above and beyond. We'd totally stay here again!

After visiting for a weekend daycation with my bestfriend, I feel indifferent about the experience…read more While the landscape was beautiful, the heat was hard to beat even with ordering a daybed to be under a fan. When we were first sat, it was next to a bush that had so many bees. We asked a server to move but she stated all daybeds were taken (despite some being empty through our stay). We asked a second server our request again because we were unable to even sit on the daybed without bees swarming on us. This second server was able to move us with no issues. Upon arrival there were no towels, we had to ask multiple times before we received any. The food was served quickly thankfully and was pretty good- as well as our drinks. We ordered a pina colada and gin based drink. Both were good but it was way too hot to drink how we wanted. The turkey sandwich, guacamole and chips, and chicken tenders were also good and pretty standard. There was a separate adult pool on the lower deck that was a lot quieter than the general pool (and no kids) with better music. We know for next time to just order chairs here. Ending the night, it took at least 25 minutes for our final receipt to be given. I had to approach the bar area twice to ask what was going on. There seemed to be confusion on our pool tab and how to close our Resort Pass. Spending over $300, the experience could've been a lot better with quicker service. It was also hard to follow who was our server as we were greeted by 4-5 people through our time. I would consider coming here on a calmer day out of season if looking for a more relaxing experience. Plus to seeing the fireworks while leaving. The pools were a lot more enjoyable once the sun began to set which was around 7 (our stay was from 4-9).
