We went on Thursday night and enjoyed a wonderful 3 course dinner including Eggplant Caponata on Crostini, Blackened Tilapia with Shrimp Etoufee, Cheese Grits, Wilted Spinach with Prosciutto and finally Strawberry & Champagne Terrine (the best strawberry shortcake I've ever tasted!)
We spent time reading and playing cards in front of our stone fire place, with a roaring fire. I enjoyed a jacuzzi bubble bath and slept in an amazing feather bed. In the morning Matt enjoyed choosing from a large variety of teas while I chose coffee (decaf). Then we dined on fresh breakfast breads, cut fruit and granola, a spinach & pancetta frittata, yogurt with berries, cinnamon raisin toast and of course fresh squeezed orange juice.
We went for a walk the next morning (in the mud) to the overlook and checked out the creek which due to all the rain would really qualify as a river.
It was so great to get away and enjoy each other for just a little while. I was able to remember that I still think he's pretty great. I like the one I chose!
Here are a few pictures I took and a couple that I got off of their website. I HIGHLY recommend you take a weekend away with your spouse and I HIGHLY recommend you go to The Inn Above Onion Creek!

Our amazing feather bed!
We had a jacuzzi tub and a very large walk in shower.
Plus those chairs and ottoman were very comfy!

Our over sized fireplace.
The doors to our room were old stable doors, so we opened them up and let the fresh air in!
(These are from their website.) We stayed in the building on the right.
A gazebo with table & chairs in the vegetable & herb garden.
We did not get to enjoy the pool as it was about 45 degrees
and raining most of the time we were there.
