Last minute anniversary weekend getaway at Rose Hill Manor -- makes you forget time and remember why you did marry that guy after all!
Great service at check in, during our stay, and at check out. Lovely grounds to wander around, and you can walk to Pedernales Cellars from the back lawn. Loved the llamas, deer, bunnies, hummingbirds, and all of the scenery. Sitting out with a glass of wine looking down across the pasture to the archetypical Hill Country views is pricelss.
We stayed in the Library Loft & it was clean, quiet, well appointed with all the luxury you can stand and so many books to read. We actually ended up reading part of the time we were there, it was just so relaxing. There is a "private" downstairs patio with no view because you're tucked behind the Carriage House building -- would have been nice, but it was a bit too warm and there's no breeze because of the building and the wood fence. Maybe in the late fall or early winter you could sit out. Next time we return, I'm voting for the Hillside Cottage -- because I am a patio/porch girl.
Only issue (and this is really nit-picking): I didn't tell Patty on the phone that it was our anniversary (27 years), but I did tell the gal at check in (and I'm so sorry I do not remember your name & you were so helpful). Yet there was no acknowledgment of our anniversary at dinner that night (a glass of bubbly would have been nice) or perhaps a split of wine in our room when we came back the day, etc. Anyway, like I said -- that minor, minor oversight will not keep us away the next free weekend we can make it up to Stonewall.
The B&B really does mean breakfast -- wow -- if you go to the main dining room between 8 & 9 am you get a three course breakfast with fruit bread or pastries, a fruit bowl or smoothie, and an egg dish (benedict or omelet) cooked to order. You can also have a continental breakfast delivered to your room in a picnic basket for free or pay $25 to have the 3 course breakfast in bed. Great food & service.
We had dinner at Rose Hill on Friday night -- lovely 4 course meal for $39 per person plus wine -- delicious leek soup, lovely caprese salad, great savory rolls, perfectly prepared lamb chops & truffle mash potatoes, and a gourmet strawberry shortcake for dessert -- I was so full, I just ate the strawberries and cream anglise. Absolutely divine!
Again -- only a slight issue -- the wine we ordered (a Sebastiani Zin) turned out to be a 1999 Zin, which is a bit old & the cork shattered when it was opened. Wine was drinkable after it was decanted, but in retrospect, we should have sent it back. Other wine issues -- too small a decanter to properly decant, no vintages on the wine list, wines aren't stored particularly well in the hallway, and wine service is a little rough around the edges for such a fine dining experience. However, the servers are very attentive and efficient.
Patti - I'd volunteer to come be your sommelier anytime! I can hang out with the llamas! -

Rose Hill Manor is life on Prozac. The B & B resembles an African Savannah Manor overlooking the breezy, subtle vistas of the Texas Hill Country. - a rocky terrain of low-lying oak trees on rolling hills. Great place to get your nap on.
Just outside of Fredericksburg (and thus about an hour and fifteen from Austin) Rose Hill is a great getaway for a weekend or retreat. Room rates run from $135 - $239 depending on accommodations and time of the week, and it's well worth it.
Austin's, the on site restaurant, is open to the public (make reservations before you go) and the menu is prefix for 40 bucks, and changes weekly. Lots of local flavor utilized from local farms and Rose Hill's own garden - like a true New England, Euro or Napa B & B. Of the five times eating here, I have never been disappointed.
COME HUNGRY, however - it's a lot of food. So much you may just want to book a room to delay the long, dark, food-coma drive back to civilization - peppered with cracked-out deer, running towards 'the light.'
Besides being the top notch place to eat and stay in this remote area, the best part of Rose Hill are the hosts, Robert and Patti (who assists award-winning Chad Fry in the kitchen), who removed themselves from the San Antonio rat race to create the dream life.
They're a blast to talk to, hilarious, informative about the area and take great pride in their proprietorship. A true find where one feels instantly welcome...as it should be.Listed in: Top Restaurants, Texas Hill Country

My husband and I had elaborate plans of spending our 10 year anniversary on an exotic beach somewhere, but then we decided to have a baby instead. Leaving our 5 month daughter to get on a plane was really unappealing. Lucky for us we decided to spend our anniversary weekend at Rose Hill Manor instead. This is such a romantic and relaxing escape. We stayed in the Jasmine cottage, and loved the foggy views (it was January) and absolute quiet (did I mention we have a baby?). We had planned to have dinner our first night there. It was so tasty that we asked to come back our second night as well. We never did make it over to the winery next door, which is kind of ridiculous since you can literally stroll over. We are planning a return visit for spring to take in the area wineries and wildflowers.
Rose Hill is my perfect idea of a B&B: very attentive hosts when you need something, and seclusion when you want to be alone. Beauty and quiet, only a short drive into the hill country. -

My husband and I stayed at Rose Hill Manor for 2 nights to celebrate our 3rd Anniversary. It was a lovely weekend. The staff is warm and welcoming, includes a delicious three course breakfasts, super comfy bed, beautiful hill country views, llamas, rabbits. We enjoyed staying in the Primrose Cottage; charming room for relaxing after exploring the wineries and shopping in Fredericksburg.
