The beds were very comfortable and everything was super clean and just-so. The garden features a large Koi pond with several outdoor seating areas from which one can enjoy the plants and creatures that live here. I had a great time sitting on the upstairs veranda and watching the fish while I drank my morning coffee. Very quiet and restful! I'll definitely stay here again!

Only thing I will say is that we were there on a windy day so you can hear everything outside. The room comes stocked with so much kitchenware so we made a fire and cooked our steak dinner while the sun was setting. They also have a bbq grill if you don't want to make a fire. We came a little unprepared with no food but the campsite has lots of meal kits that you can cook. We got two steaks, eggs, and some bacon. Everything tastes great cooked by a camp fire! Will definitely want to come back for another day in the future.

We rented…read morethe whole house. *The main house: gorgeous, well laid out, clean, supplies were plentiful & easy to locate. Everywhere I looked I saw a previously unseen detail that was hand crafted and worthy of further investigation. *The outside deck: spanned the whole length of the home which overlooks the Colorado River basin & wide open skies. There are 4 separate seating areas which allowed us to spread out in a number of small conversation groups - one space has a lovely gas fire table! Or more of us could gather together in the larger spaces. *Wildlife! - butterflies, birds, humming birds and more - a flurry of activity to watch and enjoy... *There was also a hammock under the beautiful canopy of a tree strung with fairly lights... it called to me and I answered it's call! *Sleeping accommodations : All were unique and well appointed. Each bedroom has it's own cozy covered porch and full bathroom. There are futons in the loft which we also made use of. The loft area also has a space that is set up for working - if you have to log in to work while you are there. *For this particular weekend, the WWR owners had made us a deal for three meals a day at a fair price. It was a wonderful perk to not have to cook, nor leave the property! All the way around, the hosts were amazing! *It was rainy the weekend we were there, so we didn't spend time at the pool / outdoor tiki bar area.... but we will next time! Looking forward to it !

Fall is hands-down the most magical time to visit, leaves fall like glitter, and the lake views are serene. Bonus magic? Bret, the property manager, who also is Santa for Christmas and is one of the kindest human beings ever. Only in Kingsland! Located right next to Hooper's (yep, that house from Texas Chainsaw Massacre - now a great spot for comfort food and drinks), plus Junction Steakhouse across the way. A perfect, restful stay every time. Highly recommend this hidden gem.

We booked Sunday through Wednesday in July 2023 and the rate was about $911. This place is kind of…read moreexpensive to stay at, but if you book in advance and pay ahead of time, you usually get a lower rate like we did. Basically much of everything I pointed out in our first review was still the same including the very comfortable bed and super soft stuffed pillows. We enjoyed frozen margaritas ($15 each) by the pool, however, during those hot summer days it's hard to find shade by the pool. We also noticed that the water in the pool was pretty cloudy and in need of being shocked back to clarity. And as I mentioned before, the hot tub is really not that hot. In the morning, just around the corner from the elevators, you can grab a courtesy cup of coffee which is a big plus. We definitely used the mini fridge in the room, but we wish the room came with a microwave as well considering how much you're paying for the room. We did enjoy dinner and breakfast at their in-house restaurant called J's. However, it's hard to get out of there for less than $100 for two with burgers, drinks and tip. Same is true for breakfast buffet for three. All things considered, this resort is less than 2 hours drive from Austin and will be paying them a visit again
