Lime Kiln Vineyard Bed and Breakfast
-
Our Bed and Breakfast features a private pool. The 4 acre wooded lot provides a private and quiet setting for a peaceful getaway. Enjoy a refreshing swim after a long day of shopping or sightseeing or have a glass of wine on the porch and enjoy the view.
The Bombay Suite and Cowboy Suite are located in a building separate from the main house. A long porch provides a perfect setting for a quiet morning cup of coffee or an evening glass of wine. The Lighthouse Suite is located on the back of the main house, but also has its own private entrance and outdoor sitting area. All suites have great views and private outdoor space.
The Cowboy Suite has a rustic feel, but there is nothing rustic about the amenities it offers. This suite features a queen-sized bed, a beautiful stone bathroom with a spacious shower, satellite television, and kitchenette. We invite you to "hang your spurs" and stay a while in this luxurious suite.
The rich dark woods featured in this suite give it the look and feel of an elegant Bombay home. It features a four poster queen-sized bed, spacious stone bathroom with a large shower and a kitchenette equipped with a microwave, refrigerator, and coffee service. You can enjoy your morning coffee at the dining table or sit on the front porch and enjoy the view.
The Light House Suite is as serene as its name suggests. Decorated in shades of blue and sand, it invites you to relax and enjoy the beautiful view. It features a king-sized bed, refrigerator, microwave, and a spacious bathroom with a huge stone shower.
The Community Room is designed to serve many functions. It has a conference table for business meetings, a seating area for relaxing and visiting with friends, and a table for meals or a friendly game of dominoes. The kitchenette, including microwave and refrigerator, invite you and your friends to stay up late and have your own little "party". A small library of books, DVDs, and games is available for your enjoyment. This room is also the perfect setting for a wine-tasting.
As its name suggests our Bed and Breakfast has its own vineyard. Most of our grapes are of the Black Spanish variety, but there are several rows of Zinfandels. This year we will have grapes mature enough to make wine. Come stay with us and be part of our wine-making adventure.
The Lime Kiln Vineyard is located next to our Bed and Breakfast. The vineyard's name was taken from the abandoned lime kiln that one passes on the way to our property. The vineyard is small, but beautifully maintained. The plants are individually pruned and harvested. In 2008 we will enjoy our first harvest and our wine-making adventure will begin. We hope you will join us.
Breakfast is served daily in the dining room. Whether your palate prefers Eggs Benedict, Huevos Rancheros, or a hearty omelet, you are sure to be satisfied with our Southern style breakfasts. Your sweet tooth will be pampered with our wonderful treats such as Bananas Foster French Toast, Applie Pie Pancakes, or one of our wide varieties of homemade breads. For those who prefer a lighter breakfast, we offer cereals, yogurt, and fresh fruit.

5 out of 5My Home Away From Home
May 06, 2013
I just spent the weekend at the Lime Kiln Bed and Breakfast and got acquainted with the new owners, Jon and Laura. I was the innkeeper for this B&B when it first opened to the public in 2008. I moved back home 19 months later, but return frequently to this special place. Of course, I have wonderful memories from my time at this B&B, so I was anxious to make certain that it is in good hands. I was not in the least disappointed. Jon and Laura are doing an excellent job of improving and maintaining the property. They were warm and friendly and I felt very welcome there. They have wonderful plans for future improvements and I will be looking forward to returning to see their progress. I would not hesitate in recommending this B&B to all my former guests and to anyone who has not yet discovered this magical oasis. Thank you, Jon and Laura, for a wonderful, sentimental journey and I wish you all the best in your new life at the Lime Kiln Bed and Breakfast.

We stayed at this terrific B&B two years ago and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The BIG surprise was the abundant wildlife we enjoyed while there. Many deer were present in early morning and at dusk, and the occasional roadrunner appeared right near the pool. We were enchanted to say the least - what an environment! We returned to this lovely spot recently and had another outstanding experience. All the nearby shopping and convenience of San Marcos and yet, here at the Lime Kiln Vineyard, we had a real taste of nature and the Hill Country. We are definitely hooked and will place this B&B at the top of our list when visiting the Texas Hill Country!

A perfect spot to enjoy San Marcos outside the hustle and bustle of town itself. It brings back memories of the "earlier" SWT with lots of charm and simplicity. You will not go without here, all of the comforts of a 5 star hotel with the added benefit of home and stillness. The attention shown by the owner was complete with delicious breakfasts then complete privacy. We will definitely come back the next time we are in San Marcos.
5 out of 5Best B and B in Texas!
August 14, 2011
We just stayed here for a long family weekend. This is the nicest B and B I have ever been to. Rooms are beautiful and peaceful. It is far enough from the hustle and bustle of city life to really relax yet close enough to go and enjoy the San Marcos charm. The breakfasts are outstanding. The charm of the Texas flowers and wildlife really make this Band B one of a kind. The pool was relaxing. Our family had a wonderful time. I am coming back for sure!!!!

5 out of 5Hospitable taste of Texas
May 20, 2011
My husband and I stayed here while visiting our daughter in San Marcos. What a gem of a B&B! We are from California, and this was our first visit to Texas although we've travelled a lot and stayed in numerous B&B's. This has got to be one of our very favorites! We loved our spacious, tastefully decorated and well-equipped room and felt so comfortable there. The bed was heavenly and we slept deeply, awakening to the lovely sounds of birds. It's so quiet here, with deer and foxes in the neighborhood. I looked forward to tea outside on the porch reading each morning. My husband loved his morning and evening swims in the pool, and we both loved walking around the rural neighborhood. There's a gorgeous and friendly land tortoise in residence in the front yard which is particularly fun! There were incredible massages available, along with a high-tech bicycle fitting! Cindy, our host, was sweet and gracious. This is definitely a 5-star hidden gem!

I've stayed at the Lime Kiln vineyard twice - both times couldn't have been more pleasant! The Lighthouse Suite is just beautiful - so clean, comfortable and spacious. All the linens are luxurious. The bathroom, with the extra large, spotless shower has more than all the comforts of home. The 3rd room with a walk in closet, fridge, microwave and dishes was so handy. The pool area is spotless and refreshing. The breakfasts were delicious, hearty and healthy. There were many added touches, fresh baked goods waiting for us in our suite, a fridge stocked with soft drinks and water, a basket of snacks, helpful suggestions and directions, and much flexibility with check in and check out. When we had some extra time on our last day, Cindy invited us to stay at the pool and to change in the Bombay Suite, which also is beautiful. Although every aspect of the Lime Kiln B&B is exceptional, the best part of our stays was the warm, friendly hospitality of Cindy, our host. Communication with Cindy was a breeze, from the time of the reservation, to the timing of our arrival, and throughout our stay. Cindy was so accommodating and welcoming - we were treated like VIP's! She remembered my mentioning a favorite wine on our first stay, and surprised me with a gift of that exact bottle on our second stay! The weekend of our daughter's move-in had many unexpected complications, and Cindy's extra kindnesses helped this stressful and exhausting time. She had a rollaway bed waiting for us on very short notice, and invited our daughter to share breakfast with us. I really enjoyed spending some time with her 6 year old son - what an adorable and fun little guy! We even got to witness the "stomping of the grapes" at harvesting time, which was entertaining and wonderfully fragrant. I think of Cindy as a friend in addition to being a wonderful innkeeper, cook and host. If there were a higher rating than "Outstanding", the Lime Kiln Vineyard B&B would deserve it.
5 out of 5A Hidden Gem!
September 13, 2010
This has become a favorite get-away vacation that is close to home but far from the city. When you arrive, you will be warmly welcomed by the innkeeper, Cindy. Their whole family is extremely helpful to assure that all of your needs are met. From delicious desserts to a warm heartly breakfast, you will not go hungry. We chose to spend the day at the pool, but considered driving to Wimberley or Gruene. Once you get there, you just don't want to leave.... trust me.
5 out of 5Soothing and the best breakfasts ever!!
August 30, 2009
We really enjoyed our anniversary weekend stay here and were greeted by a wonderful mini "wedding cake", bottle of wine and roses upon arrival. The pool/patio/vineyard and natural surrounding hill country are marvelous, as are the visiting deer. The breakfasts leave other B&B's in the dust--they are fabulous and preclude any need to eat lunch. We loved the quiet surroundings and the innkeeper, Lynn, is so nice and accomodating.
