The Mountain Star Lodge is a nature lovers' oasis nestled in the midst of a bustling Austin suburb. The lodge is set back from the road, on a hilltop overlooking a lush green valley full of birds and othe lical wildlife. The accomodations are rustic, but clean and spacious. The small kitchenette was an added bonus. The setting is quiet and peaceful, while being just a couple minutes from upscale shopping, entertainment, and offices. The proprietor "Sonny" was friendly and accomodating. If our travels bring us to the Bee Cave/Dripping Springs area again, we would definitely stay here again.

Love this family run hotel. Amazing views from your balcony, which is featured in every room. Beautiful pool, very peaceful and tucked enough away from 620 that you forget you’re so close to the bee caves galleria and lakeway shopping. The sunsets are breathtaking. You have got to make sure you stay at this hidden gem next time you’re looking for somewhere to stay in the beautiful hill country!!

The location was perfect for our family visit and the rooms were nice; hotel has some great views. The breakfast was very basic (waffle maker, toaster, cereal dispensers), had to “heat your own” breakfast sandwiches, but they were good. Breakfast beverages were available. The staff was friendly, room rates were great and we had no issues! Would definitely stay again!

Up in the mountains :)

First I have to say that the hotel surroundings were beautiful. We came in on a stormy night and the view from our patio was stunning. It was quiet and comfortable and we rested well! The staff was helpful and pleasant. We had never been to Bee Cave before and found the location easy to access other towns as well as Bee Cave. We had a few problems with the condition of our room. The drain stoppers for the sink and tub were missing. Also, the dead-bolt on the door was missing - we had to rely on just the door knob lock. The paint on the back of the bathroom door was peeling and the toilet made a weird whine for a while after flushing. Other than that, we found the room comfortable and the lobby breakfast quick and convenient. The pool, view from our balcony, and hiking trail were all really nice. We enjoyed our stay!

My stay was ok. The property is older and the room I was in was kind of run down. The are lights on both sides of the bed. One worked, one didn't Bedside clock didn't work and couldn't be reset. No drain cover in the bathroom sink. The price was low, but that is really the only reason I see to stay there.

Avoid this hotel, dirty and unwelcoming

There was blood on the sheets. Breakfast was poor and had ran out of everything by 8.15, no orange juice, no waffles, no hot food, we left hungry. Staff attitude was very poor, they did not care. They started drilling at 9pm at night, so noisy that we couldn't sit out on the balcony, i went and spoke with reception, they stopped making the noise but then started again at 10pm until after 11pm. They do not care about their guests comfort. Bag of rubbish was outside our room when we arrived and still there 2 days later when we left

When you look around the property you can see when it was built it was lovely, and there is a new coat of paint so everything looks cared for, but, the owners aren't making an effort. they offer a "continental breakfast" that is just bad coffee, cereal and pre-packaged snake cakes. When I went into breakfast there were no lights on and a couple of people were eating in the dark, no one was working the front desk, and the front door was locked I had to go around the building to the back door, which I guess was good since no one was working. All-in-all I felt safe the place was clean but I wouldn't plan on swimming in the pool, it would be such a very nice place if they made an effort, the view was wonderful. SO much potential just being left, they just don't care.
