We visited the Inn for a relaxing get away from our B&B. Wow what a lovely rustic inn with such elegance. The food was wonderful, the spa package was just what we needed, the room made me feel like a queen and the rockers on the porch made me feel like home. Amy and the staff do an exceptional job this is a must stay in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.

Our group had one of the most enjoyable times ever at the Inn Above Onion Creek. Thank you to Amy, Chefs Adrian and Ryan, Bootsie the Cat (who left a present on the stairwell to one of our 'escapee's rooms), and the owners who had the vision to bring such a gift to us all. Can't wait to come back and bring one more couple who was on a waiting list and could not be accommodated this time... The delight also was to meet other guests including D squared who celebrated their 55th wedding anniversary. The grounds were a sanctuary, truly needed. Thank you and we thank our friends for such a memorable time.

The one night stay was a perfect way to make a special romantic reunion that much more so. Our stay at the inn was incredibly relaxing. It is hard to describe... but it almost seemed like it was just "our" inn. I know there were other guests, but we felt we had the place all to ourselves. A very nice experience that we hope to enjoy again.

We, and much of our extended family, stayed at the Inn for m son's country wedding down the road, and felt that Amy and her staff made the entire weekend even more perfect. They handled every request without a moment's hesitation, and they did it in the most reliable and agreeable of ways. We felt very very supported. We can't wait to return and take it all in again, and remember what a lovely lovely weekend we spent at the Inn during this very special time.

We were received in a very efficient professional manner and everything went up from there. We were traveling with our dog so had some concern of our accommodations; we stayed in Thelma's Cottage and it was perfect for us and our dog! We had plenty of space for his bed and items, as well as, had peace, quiet and enjoyed a feeling that we were the only one's on the property. Meals were delicious; we enjoyed stimulating conversation with other guests and time to kick back and relax. Lucky, our dog, loved it as he played and walked with the resident three-legged dog, Lee. In the morning, she lead on us on a fun hike on the trails, finding cattle, bunnies and deer. It was quite a morning for the city dog that he is! We definintely will look forward to another stay.

This Inn sits on 88 acres of land in the hill country in Texas and the trails to walk on and gardens to walk thru are magnificent. The dinner and breakfast is such a treat as you can bring your own wine from one of the wineries in the area for dinner. Their swimming pool is large and very refresing and a joy to jump in after a long day out in the sunshine. We will definitely stay here again. The Ritz's from Texas

The tranquility, open space, views, and great staff makes The Inn Above Onion Creek a step above the rest. The food was excellent but the only suggestion I have is to replace the dining chairs with ones that are more comfortable. We loved the pool - perfect water temperature and being able to swim and look out over the hill country or swim at night under the stars was wonderful. So quiet you could hear the grass grow. Best place to be in seclusion, away from noise, traffic, crowds and just relax. Can't wait to go back!!

We've visited The Inn Above Onion Creek three times; we've stayed in a different room each time, and each time the experience is amazing. The location is perfect; so close to so many activities. As a Houstonian, it's nice that it's only a 3hr drive, and yet it's still far enough away that we can forget our day-to-day worries. And the gourmet meals don't hurt either! Each time we leave, I make new resolutions to come back and do the other things we missed (shop at the outlet mall, go antique-ing, zipline, horseback riding, visit the spa, etc.) I think it'll take quite a few visits to get everything done (which is perfectly fine by me)!

Our stay at The Inn Above Onion Creek was just wonderful. Our 2 story room with the bedroom and HUGE bath upstairs (Kuykendall Room) was the best.

There was a cool breeze even though it was a hot day and loved the rocking chairs. Wonderful place to visit.

Overall our stay was restful and basically what I expected. We have stayed at inns before so I knew what to expect regarding the room, grounds, and service. All of that was as expected or even slightly better. The pool was wonderful and the spa was a definate plus. The location is also excellent for a hill country adventure. However it is not a place to eat if you don't eat meat. My husband loved the prime rib, BBQ chicken and ribs, and the breakfast selections. The vegetarian alternative for the BBQ Chicken and Ribs was only a tomato. You'd think since they had the BBQ going grill a portabello mushroom or a frozen veggie burger!!! I was so shocked at the mushy tomato that I was speechless. I "warned" them a week in advance it isn't like they couldn't have picked up some real alternatives. What's worse is they advertise themselves as being adaptable to your dinning needs!!! Which is why I picked it! So it's not a value for vegetarians as they can't even shell out the money for mushrooms. But if you are a meat eater you will enjoy the food. Except the desserts, I think they are afraid of sugar.

Very nice relaxing stay for our first anniversary. The rooms are huge and the views can't be matched. Food was great, but felt 8:30 start to hot breakfast a bit late. Coffee left a lot to be desired (should contract with Lucky Cup, best Americano I've ever had!). Large jacuzzi tub was great, but took 30 mins to fill (Hayes Room). Also, Hayes Room needs another comfy chair in sitting area so two can sit. Loved roaming the trails on the grounds, very peaceful. Overall a nice stay but too expensive for what you get.

Yummy chocolate chip cookies and sodas/juice/tea/coffee always available. Beautiful grounds and friendly cats. The cons-- numerous dead bugs in the light fixture over the shower; shower head pointed ONLY straight down and was very narrow in the range of its spray; breakfast was disappointing (biscuits like hockey pucks, sausage gravy obviously made by a Yankee, fresh-squeezed OJ ruined by addition of melting ice)

This was our fourth stay at Inn Above Onion Creek. We have stayed in the Nance Suite all other times, this time we stayed in the Kuykendall Suite......and I think we have a new favorite suite. We come back to the Inn for the peaceful surroundings, the beaty of the hill country, and the fellowship of the other guests. Dinners are almost always a highlight of our stay. The food is always terrific but I am referring more to the opportunity to meet others, share stories, discuss anything from religion, to politics, to sports or whatever is of interest. Dinner conversations sometimes continue outside on the porches as the sun sets. We'll be back next year!

The grounds and the common rooms are lovely. The Nance Suite was extremely comfortable and relaxing, and the views from the large windows were incredible.

B&Bs are not all created equal, and The Inn Above Onion Creek excels in the best areas. Their genuine concern in making your stay as enjoyable as possible is admirable. We stayed in Thelma's Cottage which was almost perfect, almost because the spa is above, and napping was interrupted by pouncing sounds. A minor issue. Thelma's was a great value for two couples or a group of friends. It's the little things that set apart a great B&B. Extra pillows in the bedroom and living area, great linens and mattresses, stocked refrigerator with sodas and water, and convenient access to an ice machine and cookies made this a place to which we'll return.

Our stay was better than anything we could have asked for. Dinner was waiting for us when we arrived, we were given a tour of the property, and the room was so much more than we expected.

I also have a food allergy and they prepared my food especially for me without complaint/hesitation. My husband also loved the endless cookies! Our room was furnished with antiques, but everything was of 5-star cleanliness. We woke up to see the sunrise outside of our bedroom window - the views are amazing! We also took a short walk on the trail down to the creek. There was a breeze, so the whole time we smelled all sorts of fragrant flowers and trees.

The Inn Above Onion Creek is a wonderful oasis located just outside of Austin, TX. My wife and I have stayed at B&B's around the western US, but we have to pick this inn as our favorite. Not only does this B&B provide a better-than-advertised quiet tranquility in and around the inn, but it also includes dinner as well as breakfast in their dining room. It makes such a huge difference not having to drive anywhere to dine. And what food! The meals were exceptionally well prepared and tasty. Who would have thought such great food, elegant and comfortable accommodations, and relaxing atmosphere could all be found in Kyle, TX? We can't say enough great things about the Inn Above Onion Creek and our stay there. Thanks to the Dolans for giving us a wonderfully renewing weekend at your inn.

We came here for a weekend getaway for Valentine's Day and we had a lovely time. It is a nice cute bed and breakfast with great service and great food. It is situated quite near a few of the wineries in the area so makes for nice day trips out. The only critique would be the spa was a bit of a disappointment. The loft was small and there was not really privacy for the treatments as those entering for appts after you are separated from by only a silk screen. Also they contract out therapists from outside and depending who you get - the service could be iffy. My husband and I both got deep tissue massages and frankly, it was not at all deep tissue. We would recommend the inn and the stay and definitely bring friends next time, but wish they spent more time bringing their spa up to the quality of the rest of the inn. A larger space or offers of private spa treatments in the rooms would be a help as well as better massage therapists!

We've been to many other lovely places- including Costa Rica- but this is by far our favorite. Over the years we have learned to show up and enjoy the Inn until it is time to go and- most importantly- not to stop for lunch. No side trips are necessary. There are trails for wondering, people to meet at meals, and most of all wonderful tubs. Bathing becomes an activity. We tried the spa this last time and are going to make day trips to enjoy it. Yes, I'd rather go here than any other place- even exotic ones. It is luxurious, warm and relaxed. The feeling of life there is similar to the Big Island on Hawaii. We leave feeling peaceful, rested and always wishing for a longer stay. The Nance suite is my favorite. If you're reading this review stop reading and book now. It will change your life!

A group of friends met for a getaway weekend to relax and walk and putter around Wimberley. The Inn Above Onion Creek was really perfect for that because of the top-notch meals included for breakfast and dinner AND the pleasant spa on site. We had plenty of opportunity to go walking around the lovely grounds as well--not really hiking, but not "shop-walking" as one would in Wimberley. We were also pleased with the proximity to the Mandola winery, as visiting there was quite a bit of fun for Texans with no Napa Valley. Finally, the staff at Onion Creek was first-rate and very friendly, from the chef/servers to the proprieter, Amy Dolan. When we had any special needs, they were met pleasantly and quickly.

It was a joy to introduce some of our friends to this hill country experience. Your email newsletter cued us to an unanticipated, last minute getaway to one of our favorite inns. The accommodations are great, you and your staff, delightful, and the site with views are relaxing and invigorating simultaneously! Our friends were very pleased and I'm sure we have intrigued others with tales of our experience there, as well as the fun sightseeing in the Wimberly area with craftspersons, artisans, wineries and olive groves. We look forward to seeing you again. Diann G.

This is our favorite bed & breakfast. We have stayed here several times and keep coming back because of the quiet setting, the beautiful rooms and the terrific dinners. We haven't found another bed & breakfast nearby that offers such value.

This is our 5th or 6th year at the Inn. We come every January for a Staff Retreat. The rooms are beautiful, dinner and breakfast are always delicious. The staff is friendly and take wonderful care of our needs. We would highly recommend the Inn Above Onion Creek. Thanks everyone!

A problem with our reservation was compensated for with a stay in a more expensive room at the lower room rate. Excellent accomodations all around.

Our 3rd stay at the Inn was memorable but unfortunately for the wrong reason. The room (Nance Suite) was lovely & my wife & I were looking forward to our first winter stay at the Inn (even if it was 80 degrees on January 23rd!). We immediately noticed the nice upgrades like covered guest parking & "green" features throughout the Inn. Dinner was lovely (prime rib) & we were thoroughly enjoying the company of another couple & looking forward to relaxing throughout the weekend. Unfortunately my wife took severely ill late that night to the point that we had to visit the E.R. in San Marcos & obviously knew we would have to cut our stay short. When I explained our situation to the innkeeper the next morning her genuine concern for my wife's well being & her professionalism were both greatly appreciated. We were only billed for one night's stay (this was a weekend trip where 2-night stays are mandatory) & checkout details were handled with the maximum efficiency so we could back home as quickly as possible. Amy's chief concern was for my wife's well being & she wished her a speedy recovery & that we would visit them again soon. I assured her that we will indeed be back soon for a winter stay.

My husband and I scheduled our stay at the Inn as a late Christmas present to each other. Our plan was to sleep in, relax and do a whole lot of nothing. We were able to walk the paths and see the lovely sunset with the ever present tourguide-cat, Nigel. We watched movies in our super-soft-and-comfy bed at night, and snuggled in front of the cozy fire during the day. Our room was absolutely lovely and totally modern while maintaining an historic charm. We enjoyed gourmet dinners and wonderful breakfasts. On our last day we decided to splurge on massages for both of us. The masseurs at the Spa were professional, friendly, lovely women and we left there even more relaxed than we thought possible. We were already familiar with the surrounding Hill Country so we didn't do a lot of exploring, but there is so much to do within a very short drive that even adventurous travelers will have a great time - wineries, olive farms, antique shopping, food. There really is LOTS to do if you want. Personally, we were quite happy to sit still for a while, enjoy the scenery and indulge in a bit of paradise for a few days.

The Inn Above Onion Creek always provides what I need. We have stayed here in several different rooms and we have enjoyed them all. This last stay was so perfect. I needed time to prepare for something important and their location and surroundings are always so serene and inspiring. I look forward to our next stay and hope it can be for a couple of nights. This is truly one of the best B&B's in the country.

This was our first stay at the Inn Above Onion Creek for our wedding weekend and it exceeded all of our expectations. The rooms were spacious but had a cozy feel to them. The views were phenomenal and the staff was more than accomodating. The food, however, was unbelievable. The most impressive thing was meeting all of the repeat customers at dinner, some of whom were on their 12 stay or greater. We will definitely be coming back!

My husband and I have visited the inn seven times and love it more all the time. If you want a great place to relax, eat great food and enjoy the surroundings, this is the place to go!

A secluded, lovely country estate. Our room had a large, modern bathroom and nice gas fireplace. The staff is extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast and dinner are included, and the food is excellent. I plan to visit again.

The only reason that you didn't exceed my expectations is that I have stayed with you a number of times, and I know to expect a great stay.

Great value and close to big cities but feels very secluded like you are in the middle of the beautiful hill country of Texas! These innkeepers have customer service down to a science which must be why most of the people we met were not first time visitors - we plan to go back ourselves.

When our parents suggested a destination Christmas celebration we quickly suggested the Inn Aboved Onion Creek. My husband always looks forward to his busines stays and now the entire family was going to have the pleasure of experiencing the Inn. Thelma's Cottage served as the perfect setting for us to gather and celebrate the holidays and our family. Mom and Dad made sure that our gift of spending time at the Inn also included a delightful spa treatment. The atmosphere of the Inn, Adrian's cooking, Amy and Don's graciousnous as innkeepers, and of course the feline welcome committee were all superb! We can positively say that our stay was better than any present Santa has ever brought. Thank you for the "BEST CHRISTMAS EVER"! Chuck and tia, Cappie and Joe Dan and Easton and Lila (our wonderful parents)

My wife and I just got back from our most recent stay at The Inn Above Onion Creek. The inn is situated among the rolling hills in Kyle, TX and is simply a beautifically rustic get away. Once a guest of the inn, you immediately feel like you have returned home, looking forward to breakfast and dinner each day along with the wonderful conversations you are sure to have with other guests at the inn. It is as if you are part of a club, a private and exclusive one that only few are able to enjoy. Stay for a night or two, and you will see what I mean. In talking with other guests, most were there based on word of mouth alone...and no, they were not disappointed. My recommendation is to stay, but not too often, as I would still like a chance to have a room available when I call for MY next stay.

The Inn is sitauted in a perfect hilly country setting with great views, peacful solitude, and relaxing atmosphere. The room had a wonderful balance of both rustic and elegance. Perfect romantic getaway. Service was great and the meals were all 5 star cuisine. I hope to go back soon.

The Inn Above Onion Creek is in the perfect location on a beautiful (large) piece of land. The staff is personable and attentive, the food is absolutely delicious and I've never slept in a more comfortable bed in a more well-appointed room. You're missing out if you don't stay here.

We've had six stays at the Inn, and plan to continue to make it our Thanksgiving tradition - with an occasional stay during the spring or summer. We enjoy participating in activities in the surrounding areas, but we also enjoy just relaxing at the Inn.

Although our time at The Inn Above Onion Creek was brief (3 days / 2 nights), we were so delighted with everything the property has to offer. The staff was extremely curtious, and the lodging facility (i.e. Maurice's Cottage) was terrific. We will definately make this an annual getaway!

We had a committee planning meeting with lunch and everything we needed was arranged for us and then some! WE had w delicious lunch to wrap up the meeting and kick off our new year!

A great combination of rustic hill country charm and comfortable luxury. The Inn is set back from the road about a mile so all is quiet and peaceful. Delicious dinner and wonderful breakfast. I'm reluctant to spread the word about how great this place is becuase I want it all to myself. We've stayed here for years and plan to keep coming back.

We called on a Thursday and was lucky to find out they had a cancelation for Saturday. It is truly a place where all you have to bring are your clothes (and a good bottle of wine) and show up. The food is wonderful and everyone is friendly. They have great bathrobes, coffee, and scones! It was our first time to stay there but it won't be our last!
