If you’re dreaming of a quiet escape near Austin, I can’t recommend Sage Hill Inn Above Onion Creek enough. Tucked into 90 acres of serene Texas Hill Country, this place has always given me the peaceful reset I didn’t know I needed. The drive alone starts to unwind you, and once you arrive—you’ll feel it right away.

Review:★★★★★ I stayed in one of their private cottages, and let me tell you—cozy fireplaces, those sunset views, and total privacy? You’ll feel like you’re in your own little world. It’s a perfect romantic hideaway.

Spa & relaxation seekers:
I always head straight to the Garden Spa. You’ll love the massages, facials, and especially the herbal wraps—they melt away any leftover stress.

Nature lovers:
If you're like me and need to reconnect with nature, you’ll love wandering the trails, spotting deer and birds, and wrapping the day with a stargazing session from your porch.

Accommodations & Amenities

  • 16 Lodgings: I’ve tried a few—each has charm, but if you love fireplaces and whirlpool tubs, you’re in for a treat. Choose from suites, hotel-style rooms, or full-on cottages.
  • Maurice’s Cottage: This one-bedroom felt like home. I cooked in the full kitchen, curled up by the limestone fireplace, and sipped wine on the covered deck.
  • Thelma’s Cottage: I brought friends here once—it’s perfect for small groups, with a fire pit for late-night chats under the stars.
  • Coach House: I loved the open layout and that double-sided fireplace. If you appreciate thoughtful design, this one's for you.
  • The Ranch House: You get over 2,000 square feet, a private hot tub, and a fire pit. I’ve hosted a small group here—it’s spacious, comfy, and ideal for longer stays.
  • Nance & Toalson Suites: These give you a little more luxury—kitchens, whirlpool tubs, and sweeping Hill Country views that I never get tired of.
  • On-site Perks: Don’t miss the fresh-baked cookies, unlimited Texas sodas, or the gourmet meals—breakfast and a three-course dinner are included. I always look forward to them.

Spa & Wellness

  • Massage Treatments: I’ve tried both Swedish and reflexology here—every time, I walk out feeling lighter. You’ll find options for whatever your body needs.
  • Body Therapies: I recommend the herbal wrap—it’s like a warm, healing cocoon. You might also love the sugar scrubs and detox mud masques.
  • Facials: I’ve had the Sage Hill Facial and felt refreshed for days. The Bamboo one is a great choice too if you want something a little more luxe.
  • Spa Deck: You’ll want to spend time here—it’s quiet, sunny, and a great space to relax before or after your treatment. I bring a book and just breathe.

Dining at Sage Hill

You don’t even have to think about food—it’s all taken care of. I love waking up to the complimentary gourmet breakfast, and every dinner has been memorable. They use ingredients from local farms and their own garden, and you can really taste the difference. If you care about sustainability like I do, you’ll appreciate the effort they put into sourcing everything.

Activities & Recreation

  • Outdoor Fun: You’ll find me at the bocce court or by the fire pit roasting marshmallows. The 25-meter pool is great for hot days, and I always make time for a few rounds of horseshoes too.
  • Trails: I’ve wandered these on foot and by bike—oak woodlands, quiet meadows, birdsong... It’s a beautiful way to reset.
  • Golf: If you want to swing a club, I’ve played at a couple of the nearby courses—they’re within 20 minutes and worth the trip.
  • Nearby Attractions: I like to pop into Austin for a bit of live music or good eats. You’re close enough to enjoy the city but far enough to fully unplug.

Events & Retreats

If you’re planning a wedding or retreat, this place can be all yours. I’ve seen photos from outdoor ceremonies here and they’re just stunning. You can host up to 200 guests outside, or keep it intimate in the library for 20. I love that on-site catering is included—it really makes planning easy.
