 Verified 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!

 Verified Treehouse heaven We stayed in the treehouse yurt with the separate "outhouse" (Ha ha!) and it was wonderful. Very clean, comfortable, and secluded. The food was simple but delicious. The owner and staff were very friendly and accommodating. Near great hiking and wineries. You'll want to eat here because, yes, the hearth is a little remote to get anywhere else, but also because it's delicious and better than what you'll find anywhere nearby! We had a wonderfully relaxing weekend and would love to come back!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We visited Rainbow Hearth Sanctuary for our 5th anniversary in mid-October. We stayed in the oh-so-fun tree house yurt. That's right a tree house yurt! Technically its a deck built up into the trees with the yurt on the deck and a separate bathroom with a walk in 2 person soaker tub and a skylight to the stars. We loved the accommodations obviously. My 6'7" husband fit no problem in the yurt, only had to duck his head to get in the door. The food was awesome, all cooked by the awesome Mariah- also the owner. We did not originally plan to meet all of our meals there, but it was so good, there was no reason to leave. Food is served family style, everyone eats the same thing, just let Mariah know if you can't have anything- the sprout salad is fabulous. The bodywork by both Mariah and Brenda was awesome, I felt safe and relaxed and they didn't feel the need to beat me up to loosen my muscles. Instead of the normal pain you feel after a massage when you were tense or tight, we actually came out feeling almost lightheaded we were so relaxed. Aaaand the next day no pain! This super cute place only has a few rooms so you know you are getting great attention while you are there. It is right on the mouth of the Colorado River, you can walk/hike down to the river. The water is way down, so its not very deep anywhere right now and there is a bit more of a hike to get to the water than it is to get to the boathouse. Coming to visit here was like coming to visit family, it was very welcoming, relaxing and just what we needed to get away from it all. This was our 1st trip away from our 1.5 year old, and we were happy and relaxed enough that we could not stress. This place is out in the middle of nowhere essentially, if you come here be prepared to relax and enjoy nature, you really will leave it all behind here. We loved it and hope to return sometime.

 Verified The yurt Awesome,amazing. My wife was in Burnet for work over the weekend which left me with a lot of time to fill. We stayed in the yurt and it was great. I was able to fill the day with things to do around the property and I did not even experience it all. Read the book in your room it gives you alot of inisight to what is available at the retreat. Also take the hike to Medicine rock from the property it is well worth it. I came back home and felt so much better. The meals are great and healthy. I would recommend the yurt during the cooler months. The bathhouse that comes with the yurt is a retreat all in its own.

 Verified Just what we wanted My wife and I had been looking for dog friendly places to take a few days off and decided to give Rainbow Hearth a try. We took our two Golden Retrievers and booked the Tree Yurt for three nights. We had a wonderful time and what a relaxing vacation for all of us. Everyone was so nice and Rainbow Hearth is such a pleasant environment. We spent our time hiking, playing at the lake, relaxing on the balcony, and enjoying the beautiful environment. Rainbow Hearth is very well taken care of and designed to let one relax in a low key environment. The meals are nutritious and tasty. They are designed to provide a fresh, wholesome diet to aid your relaxation. The Tree Yurt is a real treat and provided us a private getaway that was just perfect. The Yurt sits up on the side of a hill and you are surrounded by flowering trees. We loved it and will return. Rainbow Hearth features so many great views of the lake and plenty of room for the guests to roam and enjoy nature. There are a number of interesting sights to see in the area on easy day trips. Mariah and the staff at Rainbow Hearth are very helpful, flexible and obviously their hearts are in their work. It's a well cared for facility that is a wonderful retreat.
