5 out of 5Return stay, wonderful as always!
May 13, 2013
This was our 3rd time staying at The Lime Kiln Vineyard Bed & Breakfast, starting with the apartment hunt 3 years ago for our daughter to begin grad school at TSU, later on moving her in, and this past weekend, here for her graduation. Each stay has been so comfortable, relaxing and enjoyable, from the phone calls to make reservations, freshly made cookies waiting for our arrival, lovely rooms, comfortable beds, luxurious linens, spacious and elegant bathrooms, beautiful grounds, clean, inviting pool, to each delicious, hearty breakfast. The owners have always been so pleasant and accomodating, ready to provide any little extras to make our stay even more comfortable. We highly recommend staying at the Lime Kiln Vineyard B&B.

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.
