The Llano River in all her glory. You can view this peaceful stream from your balcony or walk down to the bank and listen to her soft song as she bubbles and gurgles along. If you weren't relaxed already, the pool and hot tub will do the trick. We're the only bed and breakfast we've ever heard of that have our own amphitheater. This is a great spot for a concert, a wedding, a family reunion or even a corporate event.

There's something about a kayak that makes you one with the water. Being one with the Llano River is quite an experience to remember. Rental kayaks are available to guests for just this purpose. The Llano River is a well-known fly fishing haven. Rental equipment is available or bring your own. Private lessons can be arranged at your request.
