The owners and staff are very friendly and helpful. This was a lovely, relaxing getaway in the hill country! Hummingbirds and deer abound. The pool and hottub are clean and perfect temperature. And the river (more like a creek when I went in May) is just a short walk across the lawn!

I just returned from a 2-night stay at Utopia on the River. The inn is comfortable, friendly, and in a beautiful wooded, park-like setting. Location is ideal for exploring Lost Maples Natural Area, Garner State Park, and other Hill Country attractions. Breakfast is hearty and included. This is not a chic luxury place, but a tranquil, comfortable, and all-around place-appropriate... More

My husband and I just had a wonderful weekend at Utopia on the River for a weekend get a way from the kids. The place is WONDERFUL. Cheryl is a great hostess. It's more like going and staying with friends than staying at an Inn. Plus you get a great home cooked breakfast every morning. It feels more like you... More

Just what the Doctor ordered--peace, quiet, and tranquility--next to the gentle flowing, crystal clear Sabinal River. The family at Utopia on the River were extremely hospitable. Cheryl took my reservation, and made me feel like she was my favorite aunt when I checked in, explaining where to eat, and suggestions on where to visit. Cindy, a receptionist and breakfast cook....

Quite peaceful getaway on beautiful section of Sabinal river. The staff treats you like family. This is a bed and breakfast not a big chain hotel, don't come here expecting midnight room service and 24 hr gyms. Come here to slow down relax and unwind.

Very friendly hosts and employees, in tranquil and unassuming - yet welcoming - lodge and guest rooms, and lovely grounds along the river with plentiful deer, squirrels, and songbirds. Unbelievable giant cypress trees! Yummy, hearty, home style breakfasts, and if you go hungry it's your own fault! Menu varies by day, but we enjoyed fried eggs/patty sausage/biscuits/hot spiced peaches and... More

This was my fourth stay over the last ten years and stayed one night January 26, 2013. The scenery continues to be incredible, with state record cypress trees and a beautiful river along side, but the room furnishings were lacking. The bed was an old spring bed , sagging in the middle, quite squeaky, there were no throw rugs on... More
