Testimonials:

Just a few of the many kind words spoken about our Inn:

"Biscuit Hill has the location, amenities, and service that I believe puts it at the top of the best B&B's, anywhere. I feel I can make this observation after having stayed at many different B&B's through out the U.S. and Europe. What makes Biscuit Hill so special? First off, it is beautifully situated in a thickly wooded hillside overlooking Canyon Lake. Rooms on the lakeside of the house all have balconies or porches with pretty views. Next, the well appointed, different themed rooms are spotless and have the most comfortable beds that I have ever been in outside of my own bedroom. The delicious breakfasts are a terrific way to get your day off to a great start. The kind hostess and her husband do not live at the B&B, but do live a stone's throw away,

"Your web site does not due the house justice, and the food was the best we have ever had" James - Katy, TX

"We came to relax and reconnect. We were able to do both at your wonderful place. We will definitely be back" Jeannie - Houston, TX

"First off, I wanted to send a HUGE thank you for helping make this past weekend one of our best in years! My husband and I were desperately in need of a weekend away in the hill country. I stumbled across your website in our search. My profession is internet marketing, so I'm always weary in relying solely on web presence for making decisions, as I know how things can be made to look better than truth with the correct photography and wording. :)  Your property and experience was better than anything I expected! Thank you for making us feel welcome and all of the thought and care that you put into your guests. We got our chance to relax in beautiful surroundings, ate the best breakfasts of our lives, and left with newfound friends. We will definitely be back and will recommend your B&B to friends and family."   Shanda - The Woodlands, TX

 

 

Amenities:

All rooms offer porch seating with rocking chairs from the room, king bed, private bath, fireplace, mini fridge, and coffee maker. Four of the eight rooms have a private hot tub and lake view.  Some suites have a microwave, but there are 2 for all guest use in our common rooms.  Self-serve snacks are provided in the foyer for guests 24/7. Our guests favorite activity on site is feeding our deer, and we provide the deer corn. We allow pets in 2 suites, but the remaining rooms are pet free.

 

 

Area Activities:

Biscuit Hill is central to all the Hill Country attractions including the famous Hill Country Wine Trails.  We are 20 minutes from the Blanco Lavender farms, Gruene Historic District, Gruene Hall, New Braunfels, Schlitterbahn, Natural Bridge Caverns, Natural Bridge Wildlife Park, Wimberley, Wimberley Zip Line Company, Wurstfest Grounds, and Landa Park.  San Antonio and all it offers is just 35 miles from the Inn, and Fiesta Texas, and Sea World are only 45 minutes away.  There are 3 golf courses near us and one is only 5 miles away. Of course, since we are only ½ mile up the hill from Canyon Lake, there are all the water sports available on the lake, and the Guadalupe River. Now if shopping is your thing, the San Marcos Outlet Mall is also only 20 minutes away, and Down Town New Braunfels, has wonderful antique and gift shop shopping. Of course, live music is a big deal in the Hill Country, and there are several venues to choose from. KNBT Radio provides up to date music listing for all the area music venues. Click on this link to view. http://www.knbtfm.com/soundcheck.php  We are also fortunate to be only 5 miles from the White Water On The Horseshoe Ampa Theater where many big name acts perform. For the adventures, there is horse back riding, 5 hiking trails, zip line runs that cover 15 miles of line, and our geological wonder, the Canyon Gorge. The Gorge hike is guided and reservations must be made in advance. If you are worn out just reading about all these adventurous things, then the other less active thing guests do here is sit in their rocking chairs and read. We have a library or they bring their own books.  What ever you like to do, we probably have the venue for you.

Diana's Travel Story Enters The Deep This month in Fun Features, the Travel Story is "SHIPWRECK! Scuba Diving in the Andaman Islands". Diana writes, "We left the sunlit world of the surface and began the slow descent to the depths. Ten meters, and the sunlight above became a fading memory. Fifteen meters, the daylight darkened ominously. At eighteen meters, the ocean became an eerie emerald green. I peered into the gloom, and barely made out the ghostly outline of the ship..."

American Triptychs Exhibition, June 4th, San Pedro, CA

The first showing of Ann's American Triptychs will be held at Gallery 478. The Artist's Reception will be part of San Pedro's 1st Thursday Art Walk, from 6-9pm

American Triptych started in 2005 as a previous project (Val Verde) was ending. Ann would drive to Montecito on the 126 highway, which cuts through the farmlands of Santa Paula & Piru; until the recent urban sprawl you could imagine you were in the California of the 1960’s – all orange trees & sleepy towns. Piru is where the project started, but Cabazon, Indio & the wind farms of the east 10 fwy soon joined it. The imagery is about a uniquely American vernacular, our visual history & language. In each town Ann has tried to create one image, which captures what she feels that town is about – or maybe, what it used to be about.
