Welcome to your home away from home in the beautiful Texas Hill Country with rolling vistas and beautiful landscaping! We are located in the middle of it all and a short distance from Austin, Wimberley, Blanco, Driftwood, Fredricksburg, Austin, Johnson City, Hamilton's Pool, Blanco and 3 State Parks. Enjoy your return from visiting local wineries and breweries, wildflower viewing, olive orchards and lavender fields while viewing twinkling stars in our night sky! A stay at the Star House is the perfect alternative to traditional hotel lodging. 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. Wildlife is plentiful so don't be surprised if deer are seen in the mornings as you enjoy that first cup of coffee. Enjoy fresh baked apple strudel or other pastries each morning along with gourmet coffees, teas, and so much more. Here are past guest's reviews! "Kathy is the epitome of hospitality and one feels not only as though she is an old friend but that one is the person she most wants to see! "A lovely place with rolling vistas, natural rock. Every detail is lovingly thought out and presented." "Smell of fresh air, squabbling of hummingbirds, so many highlights. Your hosts could not be more friendly, respectful and interesting. It is everything a b&b should be and more!" "Simply wonderful. From our warm and welcoming hosts, the little house was spotless, homey and supplied with just everything to make our stay comfy. Amazing views to our delicious breakfast. Can't say enough good things! It's our new favorite place!"

This was a Valentines celebration and anniversary trip. The location was great, sitting in the hot tup watching the stars, fabulous. We were provided a picknic lunch for Saturday- which we enjoyed following a hike and bike ride in nearby parks. Loved the special touches - things to make our anniversary special. We will go back! - Russell
5 out of 5"Five" Star House
November 21, 2012
My husband and I were a little hesitant to venture too far West of Austin to stay in a bed & breakfast, but all of our hesitations were alleviated when we pulled up to the Star House. The vintage marquee star light and the eclectic iron art work were surrounded by vibrant wild flowers, which automatically made me feel that this was a special place. We then drove down a long gravel road which is surrounded by 30 acres of the breathtaking countryside (as well as their precious and friendly goats). The bed & breakfast is directly beside the Rossi's permanent residence, and both houses are hill country styles. There is a barn house, garden, acres and acres of land to venture, a hot tub overlooking the countryside, and how can I not mention the million stars you can see at night?! It's absolutely breathtaking. My absolute favorite part of our stay was sitting in the vibrant blue rocking chair, sipping a glass of chardonnay, and watching the Monarch butterflies and hummingbirds dance in the sky. The vast amount of open space allowed for the warm breeze to flow through, only making the experience that more pleasing. Finally, the Rossi's.....you can't ask for a more pleasing, interesting, genuine, and kindhearted couple to take care of you during your stay. You will begin your stay feeling like they are old friends; and leaving truly as friends. With all of these reasons, we give the Star House, five stars.

Truly a gem in the Hill Country!!! Kathy and Wayne are incredible! The house was picturesque down to the last detail. The house was stocked with everything you could think of and the things you forgot to pack. The bed was very comfortable and the comforter set was so soft. You will definitely get a great night of sleep. The landscaping of the property is breathtaking along with Wayne's metal works. You feel relaxed and all the worries melt away as soon as you drive up to the B&B. The hummingbirds were a great addition to the peaceful scenery. She put together a wonderful selection of things to do and places to go, very helpful. The breakfast was amazing and so was the presentation. As I read through the guest book you can see how many hearts Kathy and Wayne touched over the years. The only downside to the stay was that it was too short. Can't wait to go back!!!!!

We highly recommend Star House for anyone who wants a restful, peaceful and wonderful experience. Star House has been stocked with everything you could need and then some. It is a beautiful and relaxing experience. Kathy has done wonders with the landscaping and Wayne's metal artworks are amazing. This was the most relaxing vacation we have ever experienced. We will definitely return. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this bed and breakfast! Barb & Dennis Columbus, Ohio

the smell of fresh air, squabbling of hummingbirds, contemplation in the hot tub - so many highlights. And your hosts could not be more friendly, respectful and interesting. It is everything a b&b should be.

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.
