Whether you opt to sit indoors or out on the patio, rest assured this is one dining experience you will never forget.

The restaurant was strictly vegetarian for its first 10 years in business, but has since expanded the offerings to include gourmet burgers, seafood dishes, and lots more hearty, delicious fare. The beer is also incredible!

From the moss-covered rocks to the lush greenery to the powerful surge of rushing water, this place is one of the most jaw-dropping natural wonders in Texas.

It’s under three miles round-trip and only has an elevation gain of around 330 feet, so most ages and skill levels can embark on the adventure.

One important thing to note about the house is that some of the ceilings are as low as 5’6″, so tall guests should keep that in mind before booking.

Just one look is all it takes to realize the painstaking work that went into creating this fully immersive experience. From round doors to handmade furnishings to intentionally-chosen décor, every aspect of the home simply exudes magic and whimsy.
