The overall stay was good and I could see where their making upgrades, but trying to run the lodge with one or two people doesn't work well. The location was great for attending the Whiskey Festival, it was close to everywhere we wanted to go and that was great! I'm glad that it was a guy trip, because my wife wouldn't have wanted to stay there. Make more upgrades and it would a place worth coming back to, thank you. Semper FI

the hotel is at excellent location, but has seen better days. Room was clear but at mediocre design and bed was a little noisy. The killer was the pool pump located at the center of the complex, it constantly made a squeaking noise.

I want to start off with saying this place is for people who appreciate "Texas charm" but, if you're looking for high class lodging this is NOT the place for you. If you're a Texas charm person, you'll appreciate the quirks. The view is hands down there absolute reason you'll book. The other reviews are mad about dust, old furnishing, musty smells, bugs..... IYKYK Texas hill country is about all of the above. I will say our toilet didn't work the first two nights and owner didn't really try to fix the issue for us until I personally went instead of my husband. The issue was fixed the third day. Breakfast? Plan to go get breakfast somewhere. The owner seems to be the only person running the place and it shows--- but if you love mountains, outside, songs of birds..... Book it. Get a suite!!!

The hotel and room were clean but the property needs maintenance. The stairs need re painting, and pool is visibly green and filled with algae. Room had no hot water and unpleasant smell inside of it. Check in was very quick though and price was good
