Delicious Dining Experience

During my recent stay, I enjoyed the amazing wood-fired pizzas served on weekends. The chef's special selections were amazing and truly satisfied my cravings. Breakfast options were equally impressive; the vegetable quiche was exactly how I love it – firm and loaded with fresh ingredients. I highly recommend dining here for anything from coffee to dinner!

Cozy and Comfortable Cabins

I stayed in one of the lovely cabins, which was perfectly equipped with everything I needed. The full bath and kitchen made my stay very convenient, especially with a full-size refrigerator and stovetop that allowed me to prepare meals easily. Plus, the views of the river from my cabin were simply amazing!

Spotless and Fresh

I was really impressed with the cleanliness of the bathroom in my cottage. It felt fresh and well-maintained, giving me a sense of comfort during my stay. Having a full bath was a great bonus, as it made my experience even more enjoyable.

Relaxing Sleep Experience

The bedroom in my cottage was incredibly cozy and comfortable! The bed had plush bedding that made it easy to relax and unwind after a day on the river. I truly appreciated the relaxing ambiance, which allowed me to enjoy a restful night’s sleep.

Strawhouse Resort is an absolutely breathtaking getaway, nestled right by the Trinity River. The cabins are not only clean and comfortable, but they also offer stunning views that make the whole experience feel luxurious. The dining options far exceed expectations, especially the wood-fired pizzas, but be prepared for the remoteness as it’s quite far from other attractions. Overall, it’s a peaceful retreat worth every penny!

The resort is an absolute gem, set right on the river with stunning views and a serene atmosphere. The staff radiate warmth and make you feel right at home, and the cozy cabins are thoughtfully arranged for comfort. The only slight downside is that while the dining options are delightful, the service could see improvements during peak hours. Overall, this place is fantastic for a relaxing getaway.

I had an incredible getaway at the resort! The location by the Trinity River is simply stunning, and the comfort of the clean accommodations made my stay all the better. The food was exceptional, especially breakfast, with freshly roasted coffee and homemade dishes that competed with top restaurants. However, I did hear some truck noise from the nearby highway, which might bother some. Overall, it was a peaceful retreat filled with great experiences.

My stay at the resort was absolutely delightful! The views are stunning and the accommodations are cozy and clean. I loved the peaceful atmosphere that allowed us to truly unwind and connect with nature. Although the yurt was a bit noisy from passing cars and the café was closed during our visit, these minor issues didn’t ruin our experience. Overall, I would highly recommend this hidden gem to anyone seeking a relaxing getaway with a touch of adventure.
