At PAINTED BUNTING sat not 10 feet from me. Herons, swallows, a crested caracara, swallows, gnat catchers, so many new ones to add to my life list. Mariah is the perfect hostess. She knows the local history and points of interest. It's not far from Austin and if you need a relaxing get away this is the place to be. I hope we can return soon.

10 stars out of 5! Breathtaking view of Lake Buchanan, sunshine and singing birds in the morning,…read moreand beautiful scents of grapevines ALL from our room's window! Had a REAL relaxing retreat here. Peace, quiet and the positive vibes all throughout the place. The jacuzzi with the sun-roof with only the sounds of the waves and water trickling gently was amazing. The hike and run around the property then coming back to Mariah's home-cooked meals. Mariah was a great host and cook! Every food served were homemade with care and delish! I will definitely recommend this place to anyone who wants some 2-3 day peace and tranquility. A weekend getaway or recharge from the stressful busy-ness of everyday life. Away from it but not too far... This is really THE PLACE.

5/5! We enjoyed our stay and it was incredibly peaceful and appreciate all the activities mentioned…read morewhile we were there. There are some spots of the location that are spotty in service but you are basically camping so that's somewhat expected though they do have wifi you can connect to! From my experience there wasn't a physical desk or reception desk to check-in so you would have to contact the hotel by call or text where they provide the information to you. I will mention that I thoroughly appreciate their customer service through text when we needed something or asked for clarity. Incredibly attentive and so helpful! Really made the experience memorable because of it. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Loved the lookout, the games, plenty of seating, private chairs/hammock, activities around, personal space of acres, etc. We would absolutely will come back again! One thing to note: There were a lot of trails which we LOVE so many ways to explore but some of the trails aren't marked or have markings/on the map so it wasn't clear if it was meant to be walked through

Such an amazing experience!! I wish we could've stayed longer! The private domes were sooooo…read moredreamy. While also being so so cozy. This is definitely glamping for people who don't enjoy camping. ;) The inside had a cozy bed in what I would call a "living area" and behind it was a full bathroom with hot water in the shower. The toilet was not connected to central plumbing (unsurprising), so you are NOT allowed to flush toilet paper or anything other than human waste. Just FYI on that! It had its own AC system so we were able to crank it down to our usual bedtime temperature of 67 degrees to enjoy a peaceful sleep. It also had a mini fridge with some water and a couple beers. Snacks on the counter for us to enjoy. A cute little "camping" coffee system along with instructions on how to use it. Card games that my husband and I played together one evening. Yoga mats! And a sheet to help you practice different yoga poses. A record player that actually works and so much more!!! It seriously was a luxurious experience out in the middle of nowhere. The site also has an outdoor game area (giant Connect 4, ladder golf, etc), hiking trails and event a labyrinth to go explore! We closed the curtains to the giant window at night because the moonlight was BRIGHT, plus we didn't want the possibility of people being able to watch us while sleeping. Creepy! Although the only interactions we had with people while staying here was one evening at the community game area we saw a family leaving as we approached the area to play giant Connect Four. Then we heard our neighbors in the dome next door chatting later that evening. Otherwise, it was pretty empty! Granted, our stay occurred on a Sunday through Tuesday in October. Our dome had a plunge pool on its private patio, although it was still cold in October, but we used it anyways. 10/10 recommend booking a weekend trip here if you're looking to get out in nature and relax but still want to enjoy the comforts that life has to offer.

I reallllllllly wanted to give this a better rating, because I had heard and read great things. Let…read moreme preface by saying, the facility is very cute. We booked the King Alexander room, but were changed last minute to the Queen Elizabeth. We are on the tail end of a getaway weekend, so we wanted to rest and relax on our last night, before we go home. Pros - We were the only ones there, so it was nice and quiet. The beds were very comfortable. Cons - We were the only ones there, and had no one to help answer questions about the town, or help us when we couldn't get our TV to work (football games). We brought a sound machine, but had we not... you would be able to hear EVERYTHING in that house. Also, there was quite a bit of lights from the front of the house (outside) that flood the room at night. It was very bright. My biggest frustration came with the service. Usually they serve breakfast, but because the owner (I think?) was injured we got vouchers to the Bluebonnet cafe... sounds great ... except it's closed until January 2nd. We rely on yelp for quite a bit, but it would have been nice to have a human around to give recommendations of another local place to eat. It just wasn't a very traditional B&B experience. Everyone who left reviews said how awesome the food was ... and we left with empty stomachs. What a bummer! We ended up just packing up and heading back home. I certainly feel like I overpaid for what I got out of this experience. All in all... we were able to relax on our last night, and the B&B was very clean and cute. But I think next time we will just stay in Fredericksburg another evening.

First let me say, we had a wonderful experience and we will be back!…read more Now the details: Rooms, bathroom, main areas were clean - this is the most important for me! It is a vacation home that is turned into a bed and breakfast so its really more like staying in someone's home. I loved the intimacy and the fact that means its not crowded - Britain and staff are very friendly and it feels more like you're staying with family. The other side of that is that little details may be overlooked - the comforter, curtains, and carpet are a bit worn, haven't been updated in awhile, and that sort of thing. But I'm good with it as long as its clean and I felt it was. We took a cooking class with the chef - seafood. It was one of the best experiences I've ever had. We cooked 5 full size dishes -- chef was very organized and personable. The dishes were some of the best food I've had ever, no restaurant I've been to can compare. We cooked crab cakes, lobster risotto, scallops, shrimp scampi, and blackened red snapper. Worth every penny - take the cooking class! Breakfast and dinner prepared by the chef was also phenomenal! Nothing was a disappointment - literally some of the best food I've ever had. The Migas for breakfast was my favorite, but the croissant french toast and biscuits and gravy were also very good. The only thing I didn't like was that if you aren't out right at 9am to eat breakfast, your food will be cold, no way to really keep it warm really. Not a huge deal in my book - its like Mom cooking you breakfast, its ready when its ready. The grounds of Circle H Lodge are beautiful to say the least and the house is a wonder. Nearby to do: Longhorn caverns, obviously inks lake swimming in the summer, marble falls shopping, Inks Lake State Park hiking/swimming.

We only stayed one night as we were on our way to see our daughter in Austin. We would have stayed longer if not for that. Andy, one of the proprietors, was extremely helpful. My wife and I wanted a nice place to have dinner and Andy made some great recommendations and called in the reservation once we decided. There was no wifi while we were there, but this is not the kind of place you should be on wifi. The backyard with the chairs and swings beckons you to sit back, enjoy the view, and decompress.

Do not book this house if you want any rest or peace!! Read past reviews! I wish I had. We wasted…read more$263 for one night in this dirty loud room. To start off, Instructions to our room were incorrect. It says to park in the back then exit your vehicle to the walkway and go left at the Y, then up a staircase on your right and the Travis door would be the second door on the right and to use the keypad. There is no door on the second floor that says Travis with a keypad. You have to go around to the front of the house and find the door on the FIRST floor that says Travis with the keypad to get in. We were checking in at night and after trying all the stairs at the back of the house where we were told to park and looking at all of the doors, we finally went to the front of the house and found our correct room/door on the first floor. This place is only good if you're a hard sleeper, or if you're here to party and stay up until 2:00 am. Bring ear plugs if you want any sleep before 2:00 am!! The details say quiet time at the house starts at 10:00 pm, but why bother with that "rule" when this house sits across the street from a bar/music venue that stays open until 2:00 am.. You can hear their music blaring and thumping, cars screeching down the side road, people talking on the sidewalks and street, and we even heard a girl throwing up outside at 12:40 am. Also heard an irate man who was kicked out of the bar wandering the street in front of the house screaming profanity and racist comments from 12:30-1:00. It was a great spectacle to watch from our balcony since we couldn't sleep. We heard most of this noise from inside the bedroom while we were trying to sleep, which we did not get to do until after 2:00 as we also heard the bar close and everyone empty out onto the street in front of the house. The battery was missing in the fan/light remote in the bedroom so you couldn't use the fan to help cool the room or to help with white noise. I would've thought this was checked when the room was "cleaned" before our arrival. There was a used k cup still in the coffee maker from whoever stayed last. I would've thought this was checked when the room was "cleaned" before our arrival. There also seemed to be a little white mold spot on the wood floor under the AC unit, and tons of stains on the old carpet on the stairs. Also the shower liner was disgusting, the bathroom tiles were dirty, and the toilet brush by the toilet was disgusting. I wish I did more research on the location of this house, but the bar did not show up on the map. While the house was cute on the outside, the "suite" itself definitely didn't feel like a suite, nor did it feel clean, safe, or relaxing. Such a waste of $263 for ONE night. I was hoping paying more for a place for one night, it would be better than some local hotels but boy were we wrong.

This rundown location is extremely noisy and not at all a place of rest. At first I thought it…read moremight just be the front units that would be impossible to sleep in, but then all of the drag racing and 2:00 engine revving disabused me of that notion. It also lacks even the most basics. It has a kitchen but no wash rag for the sink, nor any ice trays for the freezer. A Kurig, but no coffee pods (not even the cheapest of stuff that roadside motels nowadays offer). No facial tissues to be found anywhere?? Table stakes. Also, must add that this place is potentially quite insecure. There is an external keypad (only) for the entry door, but no way to lock that from within (see photo). Thus, presumably, whomever has stayed previously in your "suite" or who maybe is/has been employed here in some capacity could possibly access your room at any hour of the day or night. And will add - importantly - that the dumpy little bar across the street is open until 2:00a SEVEN DAYS A WEEK. Thump, thump, thump all night long, accompanied by drunken wailing and constant comings and goings of loud trucks with a minimal exhaust system (if any). One will enjoy slamming automobile doors every handful of minutes, especially towards closing time. The music also gets louder and louder as the witching hour approaches - an old bar manager trick to the drinkers a-drinkin.' Oh, patrons park directly in front of McKenzie - literally right outside of your front door if you happen to be in a front unit (woe is you). You are expected to park in the back and walk around if in a front unit. Within the building, there's seemingly zero sound-proofing, either vertically or horizontally. Can clearly make out the words of everyone around you at all hours (made some recordings if ownership/management is ever interested). Which, of course, in turn means that every single thing you say within the confines of your room is up for grabs by all of your neighbors. If you book a ground floor room, every single footstep above will be experienced loudly. As far as aforementioned ownership/management, just know that they will be utterly unsympathetic to any pleas regarding any of this - it's, you know, beyond their control or ability to remedy (even though they haven't warned you about any of this as part of the booking process). This property is a red flag DO NOT STAY under any circumstances - including if the only alternative is to sleep in your vehicle. You were warned.
