The staff go out of their way to help you. They are very accomodating. We get the large room for our entire family and its great. There are only stairs, but they will help you with your luggage if you want. Its not a true bed and breakfast, more like a resort. No complaints here. The food is excellent, but wish they offered some changes or something different for the children. They have a few little kinks to work out, but over all I highly recommened and we will be back for opening dear season.

My wife and I had the pleasure to stay in the Walden Plantation in May 2009. What a truly relaxing, friendly environment. Awesome place to stay if you like stay comfortable but not snob. Cooking was excellent although for European stomaches a little bit too much. We miss this place very much. Hope to be able to re-visit soon. Highly recommendable in every aspect.

There was no close parking. Only one ramp of stairs from the 2nd floor. Tub was slippery with no adjustment to shower head. No seating in the room except chair at desk. Most B&Bs have a gathering area. Only area was the breakfast room or the outdoor bar area. Breakfast was just a step above what you find in several hotels nowdays. Same muffin was served three days in a row. Not a lot of thought went into the prep of breakfasts. River was not conducive to Kayaking due to very little water. No luggage racks, had to lay luggage on floor of closet. Wait until next year to visit. These things will probably be taken care of since they only opened in March 2009.

The service was excellent, the rooms were spectacular, and the atmosphere was fantastic! The staff bent over backwards to meet our every need. The food was amazing. The chef was in the kitchen all day, and cooked whenever you wanted. We even rented Kayaks there and got to lounge in the river. The only problem was that there weren't any choices when it came to breakfast. No alcohol is allowed on the property, but the wine is generously served, and at a decent price as well. We would definitely reccoment this place, and will be back soon!

Wow...what an incredible diamond in the rough...Beautiful rooms, breathtaking views, incredible food, and an awesome staff. We are already planning our next trip back. We went for our 10 year anniversary and hope to go back every year. Thank you Angie, Christina, and Justin for making this a trip we will never forget...

The first time we went was a spur of the moment decsion and what a wonderful one it was. The rooms were wonderful the bedding was phenomenal. I didn't want to get up the next morning. the breakfast was just great - fruit, pancakes, muffins, juice, coffee. They also have a bar/kitchen area and we made margaritas in the kitchen. When we were short on a couple of ingredients they helped us out with it. VERY accomodating, I felt very at home. We were very happy with our stay and did not even make it to the hot tub or pool...we plan to next time.

I personally believe that Walden Plantation has to be the most incredible bed and breakfast in the Texas hill country. It's set on a beautiful property a few feet away from the river where you can kayak or go fishing and a backyard with a pool, spa, and fire pit to overlook it all. The building is on another level. Absolutely beautiful. The rooms were perfect. There is an attention to detail here that many other places overlook and that you will not find in fancy hotels. After we unpacked, I remember telling my fiance that I could imagine living in this room. She agreed. Breakfasts were prepared using only the finest ingredients and all from scratch! Try their signature pecan breakfast muffins and you will understand what I'm talking about. I know for a fact that this place will not be kept a secret for long. I've recommended it to all of my friends and family and they're trying to find time in their busy schedules to accommodate a weekend vacation. In my opinion, the price is low for the room, amenities, and service that you receive. The innkeepers and other employees went above and beyond to make our stay memorable.

Amazing get away! In the middle of God's grand creation of the Hill Country and the Llano River, sits The Walden Plantation. The beauty of the "resort", which is much more than what one thinks of as a bed and breakfast, is incredible in itself. Brian and Angie Walden often visit the plantation and are devoted to making sure that every one has the best experiences. Everyone from Christina, the manager to Mitch and Jeff, the wonderfully talented chef and sous chef, make sure that you are treated as if you were their only focus. Then after a busy day of hiking, kayaking and communing with nature, or visiting the shops in the near by towns of Llano or Fredericksburg, one sinks themselves into the bed that I am quite sure is made of clouds. Two wonderful visits down, must go again and take my friends!

THIS PLACEIS AS BEAUTIFUL AS THE PICTURES.WE REALLY ENJOYED OUR STAY HERE. iT WAS LIKE HAVEING THE BENIFITS OF A B&B AND A LUXURY HOTEL AT THE SAME TIME. THE OWNERS AND STAFF WENT OUT OF THEIR WAY TO MAKE YOU FEEL PAMPERED. WE ESPECIALLY ENJOYED THE HOT TUB TO SOAK OUR TIRED MUSCLES AFTER A DAY OF EXPLORING THE MANY SITES IN THE AREA. we WILL DEFINATELY RETURN.--A.J.

I scheduled myself at the Walden Platation for a much needed weekend getaway. The place was beautifully decorated, gorgeous view of the river, and clean. The food was great. The staff was very accomodating. In fact, as nice as the place was, it was the people who made it even better. I will definitely be back and would suggest Walden Plantation to anyone staying in Hill Country that has high expectations.

Not you’re typical B&B. I thought of it more like a resort. This B&B is for the stressed person who wants to get away for a weekend but still have the comforts of an upscale environment and access to all the high tech devices we have grown accustom to in today’s society. For someone who is sleeping deprived, I welcomed the good night’s sleep I got in their luxurious beds. I thought I was sleeping on a cloud. The staff was genuinely friendly and meals were delicious. I was disappointed the pool and hot tub wasn’t completed for grand opening weekend. I will definitely visit again and look forward to diving into what looks like what will be a beautiful pool when completed. I would definitely recommend this Plantation!
