Decker Creek Bed & Breakfast & Biscuit
-
The Hilltop cabin has a large screened porch facing the sunset. A caliche road leads around to the west side, right next to the front porch steps. A side porch leads to the fenced yard and patio.
This is Decker Creek in October 2006. Sometimes it is lower and sometimes higher, but it usually flows all year, with water being released from Walter E. Long Lake a few miles away.
The living room in the Hilltop cabin has a TV (local channels so far), with a DVD and VCR player. A stereo system plays CDs. The futon folds out into a bed for extra guests. Board and card games are provided.
The Hilltop cabin kitchen includes a 20-inch oven and range. A 4.3-cf refrigerator under the bar has a small freezer compartment. The whirlpool tub has a view of the yard and the TV. All windows have shades for privacy.
In the Hilltop cabin, guests can choose between a king bed (with memory foam topper) or two twins. All windows have shades for privacy. A door from the bedroom area leads to the fenced yard and patio.
Our second cabin, the "Treehouse," offers the privacy of being surrounded by trees, with an elevated screened porch to catch the breezes.
The Treehouse cabin features view of the sunset through the trees from the front porch swing or the futon couch. The TV carries local channels, and the stereo/DVD system includes iPod docking.
The kitchen in the Treehouse cabin includes stove, small fridge, coffeemaker, microwave, utensils, serving ware and some condiments. In the back yard is a grill with charcoal and starters.
The Treehouse bedroom area offers a bed configuration of either a king bed or two twin beds. A door leads to the fenced back yard, where there is a grill--and, coming soon, an outdoor shower.
The bathroom in the Treehouse allows a private soak in the large whirlpool tub or a shower with a view of the treetops. We provide bath salts and lotions, as well as soft cotton robes and plush bath towels.

5 out of 5Dog-friendly Country Paradise
April 29, 2013
My husband, our greyhound son, and I just completed our second stay at Decker Creek. Once again, all three of us had a wonderful time. The hosts, Pat, Byron and their three dogs were friendly and welcoming. We stayed in cabin one. Each time, there was another party in cabin two. We enjoyed chatting with the hosts and other guest(s) during breakfast, and it was refreshing to be in the company of other dog lovers. Speaking of breakfast, it is home-cooked and absolutely scrumptious. The hosts accommodated both my vegetarian diet and my husband's non-vegetarian diet. The property is the ideal place for a dog to run, sniff, explore and even take a swim. And for those doing agility, there is even an agility field guests are welcome to use. Decker Creek is in a remote, relaxing location yet not far from Austin. It is the perfect getaway. I try to patronize primarily dog-friendly businesses, and Decker Creek is our favorite B&B. We hope to return soon.

Everything about Decker Creek Bed,Breakfast, and Biscuit is well thought out and totally relaxing. The owners make homemade country breakfast, the cabins have everything you need and more , and our dog enjoyed the 30 ancres and the creek to play in! We are going back in February and cannot wait! Thank you Pat and Byron for making our 10th wedding anniversary one to remember. You have a wonderful establishment!
5 out of 5Wonderful dog-friendly getaway
October 08, 2012
My dogs and I had a wonderful, relaxing long-weekend getaway at Decker Creek. The property and cabin (#1, Hilltop) were wonderful. My dogs loved the fenced yard, screened porch, and the creek, and I appreciated the attention to detail -- from the local bath products to the comfy pillows to the dog towels and homemade dog biscuits. Full country breakfasts were delicious, made even more pleasant by the company of the delightful hosts and their fur children. I was invited to bring my dogs to breakfast but chose to enjoy Beau, Razr, and Shiva instead. Pat cheerfully accommodated my special dietary requests. If you're looking for a relaxing, comfortable getaway with your dogs, look no further. Pat & Byron go out of their way to make their guests feel like family. We'll definitely be back!
5 out of 5The VERY best B&B experience so far!!

This bed and breakfast is amazing for people visitors & dogs alike! The cabins are well thought out and well supplied, the breakfasts are amazing and the quite peaceful environment is perfect for relaxation. Now, down to the doggy fun....Blankets, towels and sheets provided for those dogs who like chillin' on the furniture. Fenced in backyard for unsupervised playtime, homemade cookies just for the "kids", bowls and toys provided, PLUS a field, a forest and a creek to hang out in. Everyone who visits LOVES it!
