    We are a 12-room country inn and spa on 100 Texas Hill Country acres with stunning views, relaxing porches and luxury accommodations. We are a 8 year member of Green Hotels Association and we are continually working on lowering our impact on the environment without impacting the quality of stay for our guests. We try to be an Eco-leader in the community by promoting our efforts and encouraging other small local businesses to think of "Greener" ways to operate their business. Our latest "green" policy was the addition of bio-degradable and compostable packaging for our bathroom amenities.
