My fiancé and I chose Hillside Cabin as our honeymoon spot and were so excited! The reviews on trip…read moreadvisor were glowing so we couldn't wait to get there. We made it here late Friday night after our wedding and were appalled at the conditions. While cute and quaint, the cabin is filthy. There is dirt and dust everywhere. Mouse droppings were under the sink and random old food was in the refrigerator. The bathroom looked amazing and after a day of heavy makeup and big hair, it looked welcoming... Until I took another look. There was a bar of soap on the shower that once I looked at, realized it was used. It was covered in lower regional body hair. Then I looked at the glass shower door and saw water spots all over it like it had been used and not cleaned. My husband commented he felt he needed shower shoes to use it. We decided we were just ready to go to bed (which is located in a cool, yet dangerous loft). When we pulled back the covers, more dust, seriously thread-bare sheets and more hair and dirt. If it had not been 1am, we would have left. It was like the cabin wasn't cleaned after the last guest. We are planning on left the next morning... We could not sleep in this place another night. Such a shame! We were so looking forward to being there for our honeymoon, but now we don't get a honeymoon since we only had this weekend and now no place to stay. Thank you Hillside Cabin for thoroughly ruining our wedding night and honeymoon. I hope you go back to being a great place for ppl to stay bc your place has the potential for being a perfect honeymoon hideaway. Unfortunately, for us, that's not the case. Good luck to you. Ps on a side note, the owner is extremely nice and took our concerns to heart. We wish her well.

After finding a couple of places closed, we called Barons Creekside. Best thing we ever did! We spoke to Lasca, who was actually out with her family for dinner Despite this, she got us set up in the cutest farmhouse, gave us directions and instructions to get in, and after her dinner was over, she stopped by to check if we needed anything. The excellent service did did not stop there. We were treated like family, and we really enjoyed walking the beautiful, scenic grounds and hanging out at "The Club" on property! Next time we go to Fredericksburg, we know where we will stay - at Barons Creekside!

Mary, the owner, made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. Her home is very eclectic in design, but it keeps you in awe and she had some great stories behind some of the pieces. Mary's breakfast and snacks were delicious, and her knowledge of the town, recommendations and directions to various venues was very helpful. We had some wonderful conversations at the counter each morning while we drank our coffee and she prepared breakfast, which you'd never get at a hotel.

Steve gave us a tour of the grounds, patios, the community room, and the chapel. He mentioned that he built the chapel, and it was so fun to see the pride in his eyes when he talked about each of the pieces of the chapel and how it was built. The entire grounds were incredibly gorgeous, with chickens, a duck, a cat, and little Gracie (their daschund) roaming about. I spent most of my time drinking tea on one of their screened porches, watching the animals cruise around in absolute silence (we were the only patrons on the property during our stay, score!!). Our breakfast each morning was OUT OF THIS WORLD. My second breakfast was a quiche, bacon, fruit with whipped cream, and oatmeal. I remember Belinda saying that there was a ton of food for me...all I could think was, "Challenge accepted!" Every scrap was eaten except for a small piece of bacon for Gracie. Belinda and Steve were so incredibly warm, welcoming, and personable. I really felt like I was at home with my family. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you so so much for making me feel just like family during our stay.

The breakfasts were fabulous ( felt like a 5 star restaurant!) and the table settings were always different and beautiful. The bed was very comfortable and the rooms quiet. Belinda and Steve seem to have thought of everything! We will definitely be back and will also have to check out their new property located in New Braunfels. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

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 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.
