    Louisiana Style Crab Cakes!  So delicious I forgot to take the photo prior to diggin in!!

    OMG!!! I can't love this place enough!! I was spending the day in Salado and stopped in for lunch and I was so glad that I did! They weren't very busy when my friend and I arrived, so we were quickly seated. They let us pick where we wanted to sit so naturally we sat outside with a great river view. Our server was extremely friendly and made some great recommendations. I had the crabcakes and they were fantastic! There was plenty of crab in there and very little breading. The flavor was great and they were fried to perfection. My friend had the Kung Pao Cauliflower. WOW! What an unexpected treat! Full of flavor and a HUGE serving. I will definitely be going back next time I visit Salado. Wonderful experience!

    The negative first- We booked here for our wedding Anniversary. I've seen this Inn several times and wanted to give it a try. So last minute we booked a room through a third party site. One thing we did not realize is we would not be staying at the main house that is actually on the creek. This was a disappointment but now we know better next time. Our room was Whistler.. this room is right on the Royal Street and was very cute and adorable. The wall AC did a great job keeping us cool. However the bed was so uncomfortable we got very little sleep during our stay. Not because the mattress itself was uncomfortable, but because the middle support under the bed was missing and the bed is bowing into the middle- (super easy fix hopefully). We kept rolling into the center of the bed waking up several times and very sore the next morning. Also the street traffic was very loud at times in our room. While our room wasn't comfortable, the beauty of the main Inn and the attention of the staff was amazing. They gave us a small champagne bottle for our Anniversary and delivered us packed box breakfasts since we were leaving early on the last day. We will definitely be booking again to experience the main manor.

    The best! We cannot wait to book another stay here. The room was super clean and cozy, the staff was welcoming and accommodating and the whole premises is gorgeous!

    Relaxing in the evening.

    Decided to come to Salado for a mom-daughter getaway with my 17 year old. I wasn't sure what to expect because Covid has made so many changes in how things are run. The room was beautiful and quiet, overlooking the creek. We spent relaxing evenings sitting by the creek watching the deer come to feed. The breakfast picnic basket was beautifully done and they even added French press coffee. It was a fabulously relaxing 2 days - I loom forward to coming back when things are "normal". Highly recommend.

    The Inn is the perfect place for a weekend getaway. It is so convenient to walk across the breezeway for a dinner and drink at Alexander's Distillery. Then, to swing on the porch by Salado Creek. It is so peaceful here! You are really transported back in time.

    Chef Jacob Hilbert is now at Inn on the Creek, offering his spectacular dinners on Friday and Saturday. It's called The Hunter Gatherer Experience. We went to the inaugural dinner. It was outstanding. From the food, to the service, to the beautiful Manor house, it was exceptional!

    This is the best breakfast in central Texas. Hands down. We've been coming here for 5 years. I proposed to my wife here with the help of Will, the nicest hotelier you'll ever meet. We've been coming as a couple twice a year until we had our first kid. It is a romantic hideaway far from the stress and bustle of Austin. We kept coming for the Christmas stroll but were afraid that it wouldn't be very kid friendly. What B&B is? Much to our surprise, they opened their arms (literally) to our 18mo. He was allowed to run around the grounds and house as he explored all of their unique antiques. Tony danced with him and paraded him around to the other guests like a proud uncle. Will taught him the simple pleasures of feeding the ducks that call the inn home. Honestly, they welcomed Alex and kept him happy better than our own family. And that's saying a lot. tl;dr This place is great for couples looking for a quiet, romantic hideaway. And it's just as good for families and children looking for open spaces to run, secret forests to explore, and wildlife to play with.

    Exceptional brunch!

The explanation from the owner was, "when it rains the rats come inside." That aside, the mattresses and bedding are horribly old and uncomfortable. How one of the reviews for this place(which is from four years ago) could possibly say that the bedding is lush and comfortable is INSANE. The a/c was also not on when we arrived so it took well over an hour for the cottage to become comfortable. I was also very afraid to use the jacuzzi tub as it was dirty with yes, more rat poop but the nozzles also looked dirty and who knows how old that tub really is so a bath was forgone. They don't send a confirmation email of your booking even though I was told twice I would receive one and beware of substantial additional charges that are not disclosed up front. Our stay ended up costing over $100 more than expected because of those extra fees. The cost of staying here is an absolute joke for the accommodations which are dirty and highly uncomfortable. Another guest who stayed when we did reported a similar experience. I don't know how they are staying in business because anyone that has the experience we did will certainly never come back and I hope that the people who read this find any other housing option, this place is not worth your money. There are plenty of other B&Bs with great location close to the shops and will not ruin your trip.

I'm sure it was a beautiful location when it was built but the lack of attention to landscape and upkeep are obvious. It is grown up with lots of vines and brush, some even rub on the sides of your vehicle. The food that was left was quite tasty. Once inside the cabin, it had a rustic vibe without an updated feel. The 13 inch tv and spotty internet was a disappointment. It was clean, but very overpriced.

    Our church hosted a family retreat at Gathering Oaks earlier this month and everyone involved had a…read morereally great time. My husband and I were part of the kitchen/meal crew and stayed in the Gathering House. The kitchen was quite well-stocked and the extra fridge around the corner + extra storage space was much needed. We did have to bring some of our own equipment but we were thoroughly prepared to do so because Gathering Oaks provided all the information about what was available at the retreat center ahead of time. The sound proofing isn't the greatest in the main house for those staying in the ground floor rooms, but that didn't really end up mattering too much since I'm a pretty deep sleeper. Those who wake up more easily from loud noises may not have as easy a time staying in one of the bedrooms in the Gathering House. The facilities are all very well kept and the kids had a great time with the outdoor activities and the fire pit at night. Would definitely consider Gathering Oaks in the future for smaller retreats (about 40-60 people max).

    We stayed very, very recently in one of the tiny homes for a mini-vacation with the kids. The…read moreproperty is beautiful and the tiny home was more than adequate. However, on the listing it mentions there are no hidden fees. This is the first place with a hot tub that had it replaced with a cold tub. As it turns out, they want an add-on cost of $100.00 to turn the heat on the hot tub. I am sure there is an excuse, but it is probably ridiculous since this is not an industry standard.
