Enjoy peace and quiet upon your return while relaxing in the hot tub viewing twinkling stars in our night sky! The Star House welcomes you as if you were a longtime friend. As one guest said in a recent review ... "Kathy is the epitome of hospitality and one feels not only as though they are an old friend but that one is the person she most wants to see! Let us help you relax! ! A stay at the Star House is the perfect alternative to traditional hotel lodging. We offer you more than just a nice place to sleep. We offer a truly unique and warm taste of the Texas Hill Country and all the creature comforts of home. The stars and night sky are anxiously awaiting your arrival. Give us a chance to show you why our previous guests have rated us "Stars Galore". Purple Martins, Orioles, Hummingbirds and Painting Buntings are but a few of the birds species you can expect to see.

Enjoy fresh baked apple strudel and pastries each morning along with gourmet coffee, fruit, yogurt, creme cheese, orange juice and so much more.

    It was everything promised on the website and more (it's my experience that that's rarely the case). The innkeepers couldn't have been more pleasant, the breakfasts were over the top, and the view was gorgeous. I usually have trouble sleeping somewhere other than my own bed, but the bed at Star House was super comfortable. I would love to return.

    Lovely retreat cottage with gracious hosts!

    I stayed at the Star House Bed and Breakfast while attending a nearby conference. I was delighted by Kathy's hospitality, which included accommodating my need for a very early breakfast, which was delicious, hot and satisfying. The cottage was supplied with incidentals which were very welcoming. If you're looking for a lovely, quiet and hospitable retreat in the Texas Hill Country, look no further!

    I stayed for a week and found the landscape to be quietly pristine, the cottage to be comfortable. The fridge and kitchen was well stocked, the beds were very comfortable and the shower was roomy. The breakfasts came right on time. Management was available and responded immediately to requests. I will come back. These folks will work with you to make your vacation a great one.
