| Introduction |
|
Welcome to our romantic 1883 Victorian inn and garden complex. Twelve rooms in three buildings surround a garden with roses, fountains, and beautiful old pecan trees. The designer rooms have appeared in numerous publications such as Country Inns, Southern Living, and USA Today. Features include fireplaces, canopied beds, luxurious tubs, TV's, phones, sitting rooms, and horse drawn carriage rides. Breakfasts are headliner events--Eggs Benedict, Bananas Foster crepes, and raspberry French toast. Fun theme getaways include spa packages, romantic escapes, ladies' shopping adventures, river trips, and original murder mysteries. Come along as we dish up some wonderful Hill Country flavor. |
"Sumptuous rooms...gourmet breakfasts." - Texas Highways
"A weekend of fun and fabulous food." - Houston Chronicle Travel Editor
| It's been said that the Hill Country has a special spirit all of its own. That once you've been there you can't wait to go back. That it is almost magic. For over twenty years, the Dillon family and Crystal River Inn have been working hard to capture that spirit. Some of the peace, the beauty, the history, and the happiness of this unique chunk of Texas have been bottled up right here, waiting to be sampled. Guests can indulge in nonstop activity, or do absolutely nothing. Sleep until noon and have breakfast in bed, rock the afternoon away on the veranda. Join new friends for a sumptuous brunch. Hold business meetings and seminars in the sunlit library. Celebrate morning in the rose garden over fresh-ground coffee and homemade muffins. |

Shop 'til you drop at San Marcos' famed designer factory outlet (Donna Karan, Saks Fifth Avenue, Adopho, Coach Leather, and 135 fabulous others). Float down a crystal-clear hill country stream. Go river walking in San Antonio, antiquing in Wimberley, dancing on Saturday night. Have a sunset picnic up on the Devil's Backbone, then come back to our favorite fountain courtyard, at nearby Palmer's Restaurant, for dessert and margaritas. If you're in the mood for fun, our specialty packages are famous. Die laughing at a murder mystery, run a whitewater river, learn some gourmet secrets. Taste wine, take a carriage ride, have a romantic interlude, get pampered in our very own spa. (After treatments with the finest Swiss anti-aging and detoxing skin care products, we promise you'll head home relaxed and glowing.) |
The Crystal River Inn is especially known for our hilarious murder mystery weekends. Each year we do a New Year's Eve Mystery Gala, two January mysteries including a mother-daughter event, and mysteries in February, March, August, September, and on Halloween weekend. Book them early, even if it's several months away, because they are popular and the best rooms fill up quickly. Corporate retreats, birding, wine tasting, horseback riding, river trips (canoeing, rafting, and tubing), wildflower expeditions and candlelight cave tours. Whichever package you choose, or whether you want to come to the beautiful Hill Country to simply chill out and enjoy, we promise to send you home relaxed and smiling. After all, the spirit up here is practically magic! We look forward to seeing you soon. |
