I took a two day personal retreat here, and the service staff was so kind and courteous and beyond helpful. They connected me with jogging trail maps, things to do, and a map of the facility. And MC3 Catering also went far beyond expectations to allow me to be added onto their meals that they were serving for larger groups (thank you Willie and Jeremy). Their fried chicken is just glorious. The views here absolutely stunning. Whether you are on the 2 mile red trail and taking in the breathtaking views of the hills and prairies, or whether you head under the bridge to get close to the waterfall, you will have an amazingly restful experience. You can also see deer, elk, donkeys, and cattle up close. The amenities are great. I stayed in the Lone Star cabin which was clean, spacious, fully equipped with a full kitchen, comfy seating spaces, and a large stone bathroom with a tub and walk in shower (for two). There is also rocking chairs inside and outside for your maximum relaxation. Everything you need is labeled well. You can also visit the Coca Cola rec room and the Roadrunner fitness center, which had plenty of solid equipment for the workout enthusiast. I cannot wait to bring my family back here! Thank you Summers Mill. #summersmill

He is such a treasure to Summer's Mill. I know you realize that, but I have to say as a CEO of a multi million dollar non profit based out of Austin, I guess I recognize those gems in an organization and am cognizant of the priceless value they bring. He is the reason we have stayed so long - our trust and relationship with Bill has solidified our trust and relationship with Summer's Mill. We appreciate Summer's Mill for providing the space for renewal, fellowship, and connection for the Cortez Family all of these years. Thank you both for facilitating our way back to Summer's Mill.

They have in-window AC and heating units (which came in handy for the cold snap we received this weekend), a bathroom that included showers, toilets, mirror, and sinks for you to get ready in the morning, and bunk beds with mattresses that actually were quite comfortable. Overall, the cabin facilities were good. We also used a couple of the classrooms that were a bit more run-down that I would have preferred and the in-window heating seemed to be a hit or a miss. The tables could use a refresher and the windows could use an update. The restroom facilities that we used while outside of the cabin were less than stellar. It was neat that there was a washer/dryer on site in the restroom, but the bathroom doors were falling off the hinges and the toilets flushed when they felt like it. The bathroom could use a refresher alongside the classrooms. The grounds were lovely. There were several picnic table areas for us to hang out under trees and enjoy the great outdoors. Overall, I really enjoyed my time here and the facilities were quite well done... They could use a refresher in some of the common areas.

Parking was $5. There was a playground for kids, the lake had a large swimming area, and the grass was well maintained. There were bathrooms, but they aren't air conditioned so it was like a sauna and there was no toilet paper as it got later in the night. Luckily I had baby wipes in my bags with me. There were ants that would bite every once in a while and that was probably the worst part. It would be nice to have power outlets for our speakers, a concessions stand for snacks so we don't have to leave the park if we ran out, and I wish we could have rented some boats or something. But besides that my friends and I had an awesome time. I definitely recommend this park for good times at the lake

Launching the boat by 7:00 am and returning late in the evening, skimming across the water as the moon light bounced off the water, as smooth as black glass. The smell of the night air, the cool breeze on your sun kissed skin, and the sound of the engine purring as we cruised back to the dock, was the perfect ending to a perfect day. The Army Corps of Engineers designed these boat ramps with everyone's safety in mind. The boat ramps are well lighted and maintained; most have floating docks, where your family can easily board the craft. http://brigittethompson.hubpages.com/hub/Things-to-do-on-Lake-Belton-Texas-Marinas-Fishing-Camping-Boating-Hiking-Trails We would ski across the lake to our favorite spot, beach or anchor the boat, grab the cooler, set up the BBQ pit and lawn chairs. My brother and his friends would fish from dawn to dusk, and I would hang out in the water soaking up the sun with my girl friends. I still remember the smell of the hamburgers and hotdogs, cooking on the grill, and the sound of my parent's laughter echoing off the canyon walls as they sat around the fire with their friends and told stories about life and the crazy things that went on in their jobs. As an adult, I knew this was something I wanted to share with my children and so a family tradition began. We have, water-skied, tubed, fished, picnicked and camped at several of the wonderful locations on Lake Belton. Together we made great memories, our children have since grown up, and have moved away to start careers and families of their own. When my son was 15, he gave us the greatest compliment any parent could ever receive. He said, "Thanks for teaching me how to fish, to water ski, drive and pull a boat and park a camper. Because of you, I will be able to do all these things with my family one day." And so the family tradition of a day at the lake will continue for generations to come. I believe spending time together as a family needs to be a part of everyone's life, all to often we are caught up in the drama of our careers, and the exhaustion of trying to keep it together, we often forget the simpler things in life. Belton Lake has many things to offer from fishing docs, campgrounds for tents and campers/RV's. There are fantastic parks, with picnic tables, shade trees, pavilions, playscapes, public beaches located in BLORA and Temple Lake Park, nature trails and more. In this article, I hope you will find great information on things to do and see on Lake Belton, Texas.

Under Construction but Almost Ready to Host the 1st Event Creating Forever Memories!!!…read more Walking the grounds of the venue brings a sense of excitement; every inch of the property shows Tom & Teniah really put heart into their vision and created beautiful spaces to host events and create forever memories for couples. The ceremony space with the views, structure and what will be is breathtaking... we can't wait to see it completed! They've even designed a really cool indoor & outdoor bar area so the bartending team doesn't have to set up and breakdown stations... it allows for easy access during cocktail and/or dinner. How cool is that?!?! The reception hall is simply lovely with design, color and lighting. It's elegant and can be dressed up to any vision of those hosting their event at Hill Country Bliss Wedding & Events Venue. We've gotten to know the owners during their building process, seen the venue develop and simply cannot wait to begin collaborating with the venue team on future events. They'll provide the venue space of your dreams and we'll (Groove Line Productions) will provide the music and lighting! Oh and not to mention, they've even thought of the vendor team needs for load in/out, equipment storage, break area and parking! Simply thoughtful from every level of design. We're excited to celebrate grand opening day and making forever memories with Hill Country Bliss Wedding & Events Venue! We recommend touring this venue when making the decision for your event space and imagining what your day would be like here!

UPDATES: We want to…read moreclarify why we gave a 4-star rating across the board instead of 5-stars. Our posted review was written with honesty and respect, aiming to help future couples and coordinators in similar situations. Since we planned the wedding ourselves--without a wedding planner and with Hana serving only as a day-of coordinator--we evaluated everything holistically, from the time we hired you to the wedding day itself. Here are the key reasons for our rating: Ceremony Timing & Communication Our concern was not about dead time during the rehearsal lunch but specifically on the wedding day. There was an unexpected pause in the ceremony, which left our groomsmen standing in the sun and caused some confusion among guests. While we could have emphasized the inclusion of the worship song between the ceremony and the entourage's exit, this detail was clearly listed in the Vibo App, which you mentioned was your guide for the wedding workflow. Delayed Communication About Props & Photobooth Background On July 22 and multiple times afterward, we asked for pictures of the props and photo booth backgrounds you had available. Your delayed response resulted in us having to purchase a background ourselves. Had we received the information earlier, we would have bought the background at the time of booking on July 9 instead of September 2, avoiding last-minute changes. Missed Venue Tour & Rehearsal Attendance On September 18, we scheduled a meeting because you were unable to attend the venue tour with other vendors. While we understand that you had another gig on September 19 and needed to prioritize your business, we were disappointed because you had "promised" two months prior that you would attend. We chose to set aside our feelings about this and appreciated that you instead committed to attending the rehearsal lunch, which you did. You mentioned that this was not typical for you, and we acknowledged that by giving you a tip for the long drive. Communication Concerns on September 18 During a phone call on September 18, when we provided feedback about communication issues, we felt uncomfortable when you said, "If you feel that I am not the right DJ for you..." This felt dismissive, especially since we had already chosen you over other DJs with similar or greater experience at a lower cost. Dismissal of Timeline Discussion On the same day, we tried to go over the wedding timeline in detail, but you repeatedly responded with, "That's too easy." This made us feel that our concerns were being brushed aside and gave us the impression that you were fully confident in understanding the tight timeline. Reception Announcements During the reception, we asked Hana to relay our request for you to announce the wedding favors and Venmo fund signs multiple times. However, the announcements were not made frequently enough for guests to take notice. As a suggestion, we recommend asking couples in advance which announcements are essential so they are not overlooked during the reception. Unplanned Performance During the Reception One of the biggest disappointments was an unplanned performance during the reception that was never approved by us. While this may not have been entirely your fault, it should have required our direct approval beforehand. To this day, it still saddens us that it happened. We believe our review was fair and balanced, considering the time and effort we spent meticulously planning our October 5 wedding over four months. We hope this clarifies our perspective. Thank you again for your time.
