This was a very sweet, clean and great B & B. I loved my stay and was just across Lake Austin from my sons house so it was a wonderful location for me. Breakfast rolls and fruit was so good and the selection of coffee was to die for, plus the hot chocolate was wonderful at night. Will stay there again if they have an opening.
We have a 17 year old son and all three of us stayed in the Lavendar suite last week for a couple of nights. The place is quite and beautiful. There is a large deck area which is nestled in trees with a pool and great view of the lake in the distance. We had a private bedroom and nice living/dining area with sleeper sofa for the teenager. We were well taken care of as well and will definitely return next time we are in the area.
Doug and Kata are the perfect attentive hosts without being at all intrusive. Their charming B&B is serene and lovely. We will definitely make plans to stay there again and have already recommended to friends.
In anticipation to the Austin F1 Grand Prix in November I made a reservation over the phone with Doug and 4 WEEKS LATER, HE LEAVES A VOICEMAIL, explaining that he was sorry but that he had the room booked for somebody else on that weekend. When you make a mistake like that in his line of business you usually contact the interested person 48h-72h after you notice the overbooking. 4 weeks later smells like Doug dumped me for somebody else that is paying more. SHAME ON YOU DOUG!
To set the record straight, we did mess up.
We made a mistake.
We were traveling for a month, and had made a mistake on our calendar.
We contacted him as soon as we saw the error, thinking it wouldn't be a problem, since the reservation was still 7 months away.
We are as sorry as we can be, but unfortunately, we know that doesn't help his frustration!
We tried to help him find another place but we were as surprised as he was at the exorbitant rates, and lack of availability.
We had no idea that the race day was this monumental!
It's bad enough that we goofed up, but we did NOT bump him for another higher-paying customer.
That's not the way we work, or live, or run our business.
Our prices are among the lowest on the lake for the value, and we try to keep it that way.
The couple that had already reserved that weekend are paying the same daily price we always charge.
We had a great time here. The smaller room has a full kitchen and a patio area facing the pool and garden. The suite has an optional living room, kitchenette and a deck facing the lake view. Its not on the lake but the views are breathtaking and the landscaping is gorgeous. You'll really enjoy your stay :)
Doug and Cata were wonderful. Room was great. Pooland pool area was terrific. Doug and Cata went out of their way to assist us with activities. Excellent location. We loved it!!
