I have been coming to Rainbow Hearth since 2006 when I came for a solo "stressed to the max retreat". My stay was about a week long and I received excellent care and service and fell in love with the place and the owners. We come here every year for our anniversary and I tell all my clients about this place especially when they need a get a way for some peace and relaxation. Thank you Mariah for crating this place and for all your love over the years! I can't believe that I haven't written you a review in all these years. You know that we love you and we will see you in a few months again! Big hugs, Dr. Jackie

I chose Rainbow Hearth for my second solo retreat in as many years. I spent 6 nights in the Sky Loft room during late April and it was a beautiful accommodation with a great view of the lake. My stay gave me the opportunity to disengage from the requirements of my life and to quiet down. I was nourished with good food and my only responsibility was to show up for regular meals. Mariah and her husband have continuously added to the Sanctuary during the 40+ years since they bought the land. Everything is very well maintained and full of small details throughout the property that add to the charm. It is obvious how much of their lives have been invested in growing such a health oriented space. I started with a massage to work out some of the tension that I arrived with and took a couple of visits to the really beautiful Jacuzzi room. Afternoons down by the water reading as the sun set and watching the fish at the shore line was a great way to unwind. The quiet time was beneficial in helping me reflect on the changes in my life with semi-retirement and where I might apply my energy moving forward.

Amazing!!! This place is a hidden gem. So peaceful and a great place to get away from the city. I traveled there alone with my dog and it was the perfect stay for a couple days. Mariah was a wonderful host and the meals were amazing. Will definitely be back

Amazing Getaway From Austin I stayed at the retreat the second weekend in January and had a fantastic experience. I was looking to get out of town away from work and the family for a weekend to do a little meditation and just generally relax. I stayed in the yurt and had all of my meals there. Mariah was a wonderful host. Her food was great and made with healthy ingredients, some of which were actually grown on the property. I also scheduled a body work session that was a unique massage that incorporates some cool breathing exercises with it. Its not a typical massage, but in a good way. There is a very large jacuzzi in the spa that compliments the body work session well. The property itself is located right on the lake and built up a hillside that is nicely landscaped and peppered with pine trees that were planted years ago. This made for a really great sound as the wind was blowing through. The yurt was very large and clean and stayed warm despite the cold weather outside. There is also a private bath house with a large 2 person soaking tub. The king size Sleep Number bed is also a really nice touch. The property was very quiet so it was great for meditation and any other activity where a quiet environment is ideal. I am already looking forward to my next visit. Although I was solo, it would also be ideal for a romantic weekend. I couldn't recommend it more highly!

I went on a solo retreat with my dog for a few days. This place is magical and surreal. Mariah and her adorable dog took care of me during my stay. She made delicious home-cooked vegetarian meals for me and suggested several places for me and my dog to hike. Now, if you expect internet access, you're not going to have a strong service here. Most of the area have little to no service, but that's what one should expect when going on a retreat. If you need a place to recharge yourself and relax from the hustle and bustle, try this place! The location is a bit confusing to find at first, but it gets easier to navigate the area once you've settled in. The views are breathtaking and I forget that I'm in Texas sometimes. There are state parks in the area and Canyon of the Eagles which is only about a mile away. This is a piece of paradise you don't want to miss out on.

I had my second stay at Rainbow Heart in April 2019. It was a week of great healthy food, peace and quiet. This a lovely place out of the mainstream of traffic and noise. Each meal was like having your own private chef. The Sunset room is my favorite, even though all the room are excellent. I like that you are left alone during your stay without the staff having to enter your room. However, if there is something you need in your room they will immediately take care of it. I will be returning again in April of 2020 for my 3rd one week stay. Staying here is a total refreshment of mind, body and soul.

I travel afar to find delightful places and who knew that a few hours away was this retreat. I don’t know if I just get beamed up to middle Earth or landed in the magical kingdom. In any event it is sublime here where I feel transported to somewhere transcendent, a sort of Santa Fe meets Big Sur atmosphere of Nature and nurture, with stupendous views and walking paths marked with multiple stops each with its own vantage point and seating. Everything is selected for comfort and soul nourishment, even the food, especially the unique salads that I won’t forget even if I can’t replicate. My problems seem to disappear upon arrival and my perspective changed. Not to be missed is the privilege of a massage from the owner Mariah, a wise woman and healer whose magic keeps this place moored, and I think that massage was the final thing that really delivered me to heaven. I have felt rejuvenated and restored from it like no other. This place really is a retreat for the soul! Those looking to party hearty need not apply. But I believe I will return to this place again and again —which in my mind now I will remember as the ‘Over the Rainbow ‘ Hearth Sanctuary and Retreat.

A Place with Integrity I have stayed at Rainbow Hearth many times and always had a good experience! But it wasn't until I took a vacation and stayed at other small inns that I realized how much I appreciate all that Rainbow Hearth has to offer. I have never had trouble booking Rainbow Hearth or had mistakes on the bill. If something needed to be fixed, like changing a burnt out lightbulb; it was done promptly. Someone is available to answer questions and they always get back to me promptly if I leave a message with a question. The room is immaculately cleaned before arrival and it requires no maid service during the stay. I prefer to have my privacy and make (or not make) my own bed. There are plenty of snacks, juices, milk, and yogurt in the refrigerator, many choices of hot tea, and of course, hot coffee to enjoy with real mugs, plates, and silverware. I stayed at several small inns on my recent vacation and unfortunately, I had problems at each one. It was not very relaxing to come home and find that I had been charged twice. I found out that places can have a wonderful view, but... If the place isn't run with integrity by people who are willing to work hard, it can put some unpleasantness into your stay that is hard to forget. I am glad that I know about Rainbow Hearth Sanctuary and Retreat. I have never been disappointed with a stay there. I will be returning often!

The sheer serenity and calm relaxing environment of Rainbow Hearth Sanctuary is cannot be better. And, the healing therapeutic techniques used by Mariah Wentworth, during Bodywork are unsurpassed. They also serve delicious food which is good for you. I could not have asked for a better experience! It's a great place for a romantic getaway, time alone for yourself or to take your family and do some hiking, sightseeing, boating, or just sitting and taking in the beautiful sights from the top of Medicine Rock Mountain which is on the grounds at the highest point with panoramic views of Lake Buchanan.

Stayed here in June 2016 and absolutely loved it. 3 days of getting great nature photographs, hikes, and 3 days of wonderful organic foods prepared by the owner, who was very gracious. The beds are sleep number beds so I slept great. The dining room looks over the lake and the view in the mornings and evenings are gorgeous. I came back from there completely relaxed. This is truly a sanctuary and retreat center, a place to heal.

Gorgeous Views, Wonderful Retreat I chose Rainbow Hearth hoping for a peaceful stay and bonding time with my pups. I gained so much more than relaxation. Having no intruding technology, quiet time to reflect, and getting to spend time with Mariah from the body work to conversation was so healing. I could feel myself changing, getting back to my personal place of power, once again owning my journey and my choices. The time to reflect is invaluable and helps you put everything into perspective. I stayed at the Sunset cabin and it was wonderful, awesome views of the lake and the sunset. Very clean and well cared for rooms. The meals are all healthy and delicious. We wandered trails every day, visited Medicine Rock and enjoyed the tranquility. I am planning another trip next year, it's a beautiful place!

A wonderful experience! Rainbow Hearth is much more than a usual spa/ retreat. Each cozy room is unique with homey touches and the lake views are spectacular. The body work is top of the line and specifically catered to your specific physical/emotional needs. The organic dishes are delicious - I just loved the specially prepared omelets and smoothies at breakfast. I felt so well looked after throughout my 5 day stay, and I definitely recommend a few days to really be able to wind down and soak it all up!

Healing Retreat If you are looking for a cozy, comfortable, healing, unique getaway...this is an amazing place. I was looking for an opportunity to get away, be alone in nature (but not so alone someone couldn't make me meals :) and a place for contemplation. What I found was an amazing, comfortable, quiet healing retreat. Proprietor Mariah was the perfect hostess: knowledgeable, kind, accommodating to a restricted diet, an amazing cook and by far the best body worker I've ever experienced. The beautiful decks, the cozy garden patios, the gorgeous whirlpool (one of my favorite parts -- laying under the skylight, looking up at the blue sky and clouds in a great, private atrium after a 90 minute bodywork session), the hikes up to a healing "medicine rock" on the property, the 2 cats and sweet dog, the all-organic meals - all add to the magical, funky, spiritual charm of the place. I plan to come back at least once a year...maybe more!
