Like staying in the worlds best grandparents' guest house! Nancy will make you a breakfast that…read morewill rank in the best you've ever had and the peaceful views and wonderful conversation cannot be beat! Right on Main Street of quiet little Christoval and central to any of the towns many attractions it is always the first and most times only place I will stay when in town (I have literally rescheduled trips just to stay here!). An attraction of its own this is by far the best BnB you will find anywhere!

Where do I begin! My husband and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary and booked the weekend…read moreat the Coach House Bed and Breakfast. We were so glad that we did! It's a quiet and peaceful place to relax and be pampered. When we drove up the driveway, Nancy, the innkeeper, was sitting on the porch waiting for us. She greeted us, took us inside the house and gave us a tour of the place. This place is nicely decorated, clean and quiet...so quaint! She left us a bottle of wine from the local vineyard in an ice bucket and a well stocked fridge with fruit, cheese, water and soft drinks. She also made us cream cheese frosted cupcakes....OMG the best I've ever had! The next morning, she came over and fixed us homemade biscuits (to die for!), gravy, eggs, bacon, fruit, juice and coffee. The 2nd morning she made us waffles, ham, fruit, juice and coffee. We were never hungry! She used "happy anniversary" themed napkins, plates and mints and what a darling! She gave us a gift of lace for our 13th! Where, I ask you, do you get this kind of attention and love? We also enjoyed sitting outside under the trees chatting with Nancy and Coach Tommy. What an interesting and sweet couple! The Coach House is in a great location. We walked to the park, drove to the Hummer House about 2 miles away, went to the Christoval Vineyards a few blocks away for wine tasting and music. It was a wonderful weekend for us. If you're looking to get away from the city, the phone, the traffic, this is the place to stay. I promise you, you will be pampered! You'll get the best sleep in the comfiest of comfy bed...they also have a nice collection of DVD's. Although we didn't use our cell phones much, we had good reception. My husband and I hated to leave ... we certainly left with a whole lot more than we arrived with....wonderful memories and new friends.

My husband has stayed at Bob Ton Roulet two times prior and this year I joined him. It was/is…read moreeverything he said it would be. The cabin had everything we needed including river access (Nol has given public access to the river as part of a lease agreement with TPWD). I didn't get to meet her but Mark says she's the best. We had deer, skunks, bunnies, opossum, fox and horses. The bird watching was great. Who else says, "give me a hug" but someone as great as Nol! I can't wait until next year.

I recently stayed at Nol's cabins and I absolutely had one of the best experiences I've ever had on…read morethe South Llano River. Nol has 2 cabins for rent that are a stone's throw from the river (30-second walk). They are attractive, clean, well-furnished and they are both newly built. As someone who likes to kayak Central Texas' rivers I've had the opportunity to stay at numerous different riverfront cabins and I have to admit that Nol's are the best by a long shot. Sadly, I can be overly critical at times but these accommodations were excellent. The bed (queen-size) was plush and comfortable, the AC was frosty cold and her riverbank is private, quiet and beautiful. She even has one of the best swimming holes that I've experienced on the South Llano. The 100-year old pecan trees that line her stretch of the river provided us a comfortable respite from the hot July sun. If you like to fish and run the rapids like I do Nol's property sits on an ideal location on the river to float into or float out of when making kayak trips. Pro Tip #1: When you make your morning cup of coffee go sit down on river's edge upon her rock steps. It's quiet, relaxing and you'll have the whole river to yourself. Pro Tip #2: After your dinner meal go sit out on the porch and watch the wild turkeys, white-tailed deer and axis deer come out to feed. We saw more wild game and birds than you'd see at the zoo.

I just stayed here for the second time. I spent two nights in March 2017 and two in July 2017…read more The place has a charm about it, nestled among local art studios. Both times I stayed, I selected the French country room as it was the least expensive. The room was well cooled, which is important in July in San Angelo! The room was clean and the shower had excellent pressure and plenty of hot water. The Internet also worked very well. The bed was so-so; the mattress wasn't very firm which made sitting up to read a bit of a struggle. I did sleep well, and that's the most important fact. Guests have 24 hour access to a kitchen that the innkeepers keep stocked full of snacks and drinks. There is a coffee maker as well as cooking and reheating facilities and a large fridge. Parking is off-street, around back. So I didn't have to worry about my car. Two final words of praise: the inn was quiet and the innkeepers were very friendly.

This inn was so cute and charming! We stayed there on the first Saturday of the month when the art…read morecenter was having a little festival so we didn't have to do more than step outside our door to find entertainment. The property is quaintly decorated with lights and a variety of art. The room was clean, spacious and cozy. And the kitchen is open 24/7 with anything you could want for breakfast or a snack. And they had beer and wine, included in the price which was a pleasant surprise. The location is convenient too if you need to run by the store there is a Walgreen and Walmart nearby. The only downside was the poor wifi but I didn't even care. This was the coolest place I've ever stayed.

Being in the middle of nowhere Texas in an extremely small town, this is the only place to stay…read more I'm grateful I found the place as the owner's, Alex and Cindy, are fantastic hosts. They invite everyone out at night to meet, great, converse, and socialize with one another. They have wonderful cabins and RVs for rent, no two are the same. The come supplied with everything you need except food and clothing (bring your own). The atmosphere is relaxed and quiet. It is a pet and kid friendly environment. This is a beautiful oasis in the middle of the West Texas desert. With all the places I visit and stay, this is top of my list. I recommend a couple of nights stay and when I'm back in the area for a while, I will stay again. By the way, the cabin I rented was only $90 (rounded up) a night. Very well priced.

It was difficult finding a place (during the oil boom hitting west Texas) to stay that would take…read moremy two declawed cats, husband and I. Alex was immediately welcoming and really worked with us offering an older 5th wheel trailer available that could accommodate the four of us which was more comfortable than I'd thought it would be. The service he offers goes above and beyond other BnB's I've been in. He provided a tour of the grounds, laundry service, nice well maintained yard to relax in, two large refrigerators that could be utilized by all guests located in the main house. The main house is also well cared for, offers rooms with private bathrooms and regular rooms with a shared baths. Alex, or Luis his assistant, immediately take care of any of our needs making our stay stress free and enjoyable. Cindy and Alex are wonderful hosts! I'd definitely recommend The Vera House BNB!
