inn above onion creek

After our wedding marathon we flew into Austin and stayed at the Inn Above Onion Creek. I took this first photo at dawn from The Nance Suite on the third floor. It was amazing with the mist, like waking up with the vast serengeti spread before your eyes. We got up early and took our coffee out on a walk along the property trail with Nigel the gray cat as our guide.

While staying in this area, I was surprised to discover the Texas Wine trail, we only tried out Driftwood Vineyards which was humbler low-key relief after finding the tuscan villa shuttered for the morning at Mandola.

Friends gave us a wedding gift certificate to the Select Registry, which was a great way to get us to add a getaway at this beautiful property in Kyle, Texas. It was only a short ride down I35 and miles away from city life in Austin!
