My husband and I stayed for 2 nights in the Michaelis room to celebrate our 5 year anniversary. We had never been to Texas Hill Country before, nor had we ever stayed at a B&B, but we had an absolutely wonderful time! Even though the weather was less than ideal (mostly cold & rainy, at the end of January) it didn't ruin our trip at all. It just gave us an excuse to take advantage of the amazing fireplace, the heavenly king-sized feather bed, and the whirlpool tub where we took a long relaxing bubble bath. Although the price can seem a bit expensive at first, considering that a delicious breakfast, dinner and not to mention free cookies and sodas/drinks throughout the day are included, I believe you fully get your money's worth and then some. And I'm sure most people wouldn't want to admit it but if you're like me and the thought of sharing your meals with complete strangers can seem a little daunting at first don't worry- it will end up being one of the best and most memorable parts of your trip- at least it was for us. We met so many wonderful, generous people, most of whom had been coming to the Inn for many, many years, and they truly made our stay extra special. Believe the reviews- they're all raves for a reason. We can't wait to come back again in the Spring/Summer when we can take better advantage of the hiking trails and beautiful scenery, and maybe try a different room. Although we absolutely loved the Michaelis, each room is so different and has it's own character, we'd love to eventually try them all! View Reviewer Info

Kim,
I'm very sorry that we did not meet your dietary restrictions very well. Portabello mushrooms are one of our main alternatives for vegetarians as are the stuffed tomatoes that we served you on the fourth of July. In hindsight, knowing that you were going to pick up your dinner on a tray we should have gone with the portabello. Holding the stuffed tomato for that extra hour didn't work out well and it's a mistake we will not make again. Hopefully the Ratatouille we served you the first night was to your liking and we're glad to hear your husband enjoyed the food. Sorry again and I hope we get another chance to make up for our poor selection of stuffed tomatoes.

We're sorry you had some negative aspects during your stay. We would like to address the issues during your stay so next time we don't have any "cons". What room did you stay in and on what date? I'm guessing last weekend because I believe that's when we served duck. We would like to take a look at the shower head, sounds like we need to change it out. We'll let the chef know about the food issues and I apologize it didn't come out well. Sorry again, but thanks for pointing out the niceties as well.
We would love it if you could email us at info at innaboveonioncreek.com It's very important to us that our guests stay exceed their expectations so we like to address areas that need improvement.

We spent a special weekend at the inn, celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary. We felt welcome from the moment of our arrival, and everyone was so friendly and accommodating. 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. The linens were of very high quality, and there were numerous added touches, such as the fresh flowers on the mantel, the gas fireplace, the selection of CD's and DVD's, the microwave and mini-fridge.
The food was outstanding, and the chef was very accommodating as to vegetarian selections. Having access to a gourmet dinner on the premises added to the sense of relaxation -- no need to worry about reservations or driving to dinner each night.
Lastly, the resident cats and the very friendly dog also add to the ambience!
We plan to return soon..... View Reviewer Info

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. View Reviewer Info
