Romantic Retreats in the Hill Country

October 8th, 2009

Our Hill Country bed and breakfast is the ideal spot for romantic retreats. Nestled on twenty private acres in the heart of the Texas Hill Country, our inn provides sophisticated lodging, lively art, and top-notch food.

Picture yourselves here...

Picture yourselves here...

Are you newlyweds or new lovebirds? Book one of three very private cottages, and watch the sun set over the hills feeling like you are the only two people on earth. We can arrange a sumptuous private dinner for you, or recommend romantic restaurants not too far from our Texas bed and breakfast. Stroll through the art galleries and boutiques of Wimberley, enjoy a scenic drive through the Hill Country, or simply wander hand in hand along the nature trail on our grounds. It’s up to you.

Are you celebrating an anniversary? We would love to prepare a special meal for you, or perhaps the two of you would enjoy taking a cooking class together (you know, spice things up in the kitchen at home). Afternoons are perfect for lazing by our pool or exploring several of the excellent Hill Country wineries near our inn. Most vineyards offer tasting rooms or decks with great views. Raise a glass to each other – you deserve it!
