The lakefront, limestone "Hill Country rustic retreat in a tranquil, green, hilly area" used to be a training camp for rodeo cowboys and clowns. Meals at the Dining Room and Aster Café in the spa include a "watermelon gazpacho and key lime pie I still dream about. A wizard was at work in the kitchen!" Others laud the casual atmosphere: "It was nice eating in the cafe without worrying about being in our spa robes and having no makeup on." "Warm and inviting" rooms overlook the lake and have deep-soaking tubs, and "sheets so soft, they were like butter." "Spa employees are very welcoming."
