This place is a little gem in the hills. Beautiful view, convenient, and in a nice safe area. Only down fall is how expensive it is! Was hoping to make this my “home” while I’m working at Baylor Lakeway down the road, but they charge far too much for a basic room. I would return for a night or two sometime though!

Nice retreat
Nice but a bit more out-of-the-way than I thought; but there are restaurants etc. in close driving distance. Something of a “retreat.”

Spontaneous visit
Breakfast was disappointing, bathroom looks like it needs to be refinished, and what appeared to be a reclining love seat was obviously damaged with the gears exposed. Service was great and the beds were comfortable. The grounds were charming but could use some TLC as some of the plants appear to be dead. I loved the patio and that there is a walking trail accessible from there.

Great View of Hills from
This is an older hotel, but kept up pretty good. There is an excellent view of the Austin hills. If you’re looking for the Hilton Experience, this is not for you, it’s a pretty-good hotel I’ll definitely stay at again. The breakfast had a waffle maker, Ned I say more.

Spacious room and great view!
I was pleasantly surprised at the wonderful view from my balcony. The room was spacious and very comfortable. I felt as if I were staying at a resort lodge. There were roses and bluebonnets outside. The friendliness of the staff was definitely above average.
