    We stayed for one night in the cabin and it was great! It was secluded from the other house on the property as well as highways, roads, etc.... It was very peaceful and quiet with mostly wildlife noise and an occasional working neighbor (no a big deal, can't control everything). The cottage was very warm and cozy but perfect for a one or 2 night stay. The breakfast was an average pantry stash, but what we wanted (we're fine w/o a homemade gourmet breakfast) . We prefer the more hands off approach during our stays although Kim was always friendly and helpful to during our coordination efforts. Location was ideal for being able to do a few things without driving more than 20 minutes. If you want some peaceful alone time from the kids, PERFECT!


    Thank you for welcoming my soldier home!

    My husband came home from Afghanistan and I wanted to get away for the weekend before the holidays. The Johnsons welcomed my husband back with a huge welcome home banner and champagne. The overwhelming kindness of complete strangers brought me to tears. The cabin is so adorable! We relaxed all weekend and after nine months apart this was the perfect place to get away together. The silence and darkness was excellent for star gazing from the hot tub. I can not thank you enough for the memories and thoughtfulness. God bless.

    Ha!Billed as a tranquil, relaxing place to stay, and maybe you might be lucky enough to have that experience there, but the owners were not easy to work with from the get-go, and got downright rude when asked to try to curtail the chain-sawing neighbor (who we could not only most definitely hear, but even see, across the yard)clearing brush Saturday morning. Their attitude was truly so unpleasant that we would NEVER return. It totally ruined what was to be a special occasion.

    Innkeeper Response
    Please let the true reviews speak for themselves. Unfortunately, we were unable to give this guest her requested rate of half price from the beginning of the reservaion. We inform our guests that we are available for them 24/7 and to please call us at any time. At 11:00 am we were called regarding a chain saw noise. This was one hour before checkout. We called the neighbor and the noise was stopped immediately. This guest simply wanted a free night and was looking for any chance to get one. Unfortunately, we can not give a free night away for an unforeseeable problem out of our control one hour prior to check out. That must be how we are considered "rude". We consider one bad review in over two years out of hundreds of guests a pretty good rating of over 99%! Hope to see you all soon at The Drift Inn. Thank you for over two years of excellent clientele.

    My family spent the week at the Tree House for a family reunion and it was great! It is a unique octagon house with a great deck! We had the place to ourselves and it was perfect for shopping Wimberley and close to the Salt Lick (YUM). The Johnsons went out of their way to be sure we were comfortable and we truly felt at home. We got to see the cabin and it is absolutely adorable! We have stayed in other places in the area other years but this was the best for the price and we will be back!


    Great B&B
