Texas Monthly Review Sage Hill Inn & Spa
…..only thirty miles from Austin but light-years outside
its orbit. The 88 acres feature two historic-looking buildings and several
cottages hidden in the Hill Country underbrush, giving you the feeling of a
bygone, more rustic time. But this is a carefully crafted illusion. At night, I
sank into a pillow-top mattress. In the afternoon, I dozed off in my room’s
whirlpool tub. A grueling stroll along the hiking trails would no doubt require
a visit to the spa, located in a quaint tin-roofed building next to beds of
sunflowers.
You needn’t be an overnight guest to spot a raccoon or fox,
poke around the vegetable gardens, hear the little "tzip" of a hummingbird’s
wings along a gravel path, or sit around the fire pit as twilight falls, a
blanket across your lap, soaking up the vision of a simpler life. You’ll be
back to your real one soon enough.
