    Mt. Gainor Inn Bed and Breakfast - Dripping Springs, Texas"After 20 years of visiting and lodging in Wimberley, we've found "our little bit of heaven" at the Mt. Gainor Inn." Grandy and Cara Brooks

    "Having the entire Inn for our family was a real treat for all of us. Giving us all the privacy we wanted. It was a terrific place for us to celebrate our 45th anniversary, our children's anniversary, birthdays and Father's Day together." Prissilla and Larry Ogg

    "Things we enjoyed: God's massive expansive sky of sunlight and cloudless cool day, clear start filled night, warm dear souls of Laurie and Jerry, purring kitty on our lap, hawks, cows peering over the fence, roadside flowers, excellent peddle up and down hills along Onion Creek, wonderful food, tasty wine and sharing our love for each other after 20 years." Make and Mary, Arlington, Texas

    "The storms rolled in across the Texas Hill Country providing an enchanting evening of soft rain and lightning ... perfect for a romantic stay at the Mt. Gainor Inn. We loved the antique doors, the morning sun as it peeks through the windows, the resident kitty cat, the smell of the crisp Hill Country air and the buzzing hummingbirds on the front porch. We will always cherish the memories of this special place as we shared our first weekend away together." Jeff and Cheryl, Fortworth, Texas

    "From the time we called to reserve the room to the time we left, you have been the most hospitable we could ever imagine. We enjoyed ourselves so much. The hot tub, the décor, the peace and quiet." Pam and Grant Jacobs

    "As a native San Antonian, I believe San Antonio to be the best Texas city, but to really experience the flavor of Texas, this is the place to be. The view is spectacular and the sunset is magnificent! We watched the full moon rise from the spa - glorious! - in a star filled and cloudless night. On the other side of the fence, is one of the largest spreading oaks I have ever seen." Hal and Cheryl Carson, San Antonio, Texas

    "The house, views, walking trail to the hidden bench in the oak grove, wine and cheese happy hour were great. It seems it is your vision, energy and spirit that transforms a remodeled farmhouse into the wonderful place and experience that is the Mt. Gainor Inn." Lloyd and Carolyn Barnard, Saginaw, Texas
