Dining at Hill Country Herb Garden

Tall and gorgeous stone walls, and natural wood, decorated the restaurant space at Hill Country Herb Garden. We secured a long table for our press group and began perusing menus offering crowd-pleasing burgers to vegan and vegetarian dishes and beverages - with many ingredients sourced from the surrounding grounds.

I downed a Green Goddess smoothie (with kale, celery, spinach, aloe, B12, Vitamin C, Blue Majik, apple and peach) as our host provided a brief outdoor tour, before enjoying savory, ultra-fresh spring rolls. That's when we learned sumptuous meals arrive on the front porches of guest cottages too, each morning.

Overnight Stays at Hill Country Herb Garden

In 2023, it had been more than a decade since my previous visit here. I hardly recognized the sprawling, multi-faceted business. In fact, the company had remodeled, renovated, redecorated, and planted over 800 plants since November 2021. That included the restaurant which serves lunch and brunch, with dinner available on Thursday through Saturday.  

Diverse lodging is a big component of Hill Country Herb Garden's current offerings. Fourteen cottage designs include Modern Escape Cottages, Nature's Cottages, or Artist's Retreat Cottages. Guests can indulge in spa-like bathrooms while wearing lush robes as well as luxurious linens. There are even kitchenettes full of 'essentials.' Cozy swings beckon from spacious front porches. In addition, the Garden House offers space for up to 12 guests.

Spa Services at Hill Country Herb Garden

Hill Country Herb Garden is a great place to relax and rejuvenate too. Sign up for yoga classes held in a dedicated studio building. Melt away stress during a full-body massage, facial, or 'head spa' service and body treatments from therapeutic scrubs to lymphatic drainage. Then indulge in a dry heat sauna and/or some hydrotheraphy.

Whether you're planning a multi-faceted long weekend getaway or a great spot to recharge your battery for a week, Hill Country Herb Garden has got you covered. at elps
