The Trois Estate at Enchanted Rock

We really enjoyed our 1 night in the Raphael suite. It is right next to a pool and this estate has a fun vibe! Very unique!! So much to see. Location is ideal for hiking at Enchanted Rock! Breakfast was a delicious buffet with everything you could want in a beautiful building! We’d love to come back for stargazing with the astronomer on the rooftop!

This was so bad we did not even stay. There is no staff to speak to in office and the rooms seem to be accessible by anyone. The pools are not clean and there a stay cats wondering around the property (i am allergic to cats) The grounds are not kept and seems to be a bottle dumping ground in the back. The room itself has no real privacy as even with the blinds down you can see in and out of the room. The pictures they post are very deceiving and don't. I left the property same day as check in and stayed somewhere else just so my wife and I did not have to endure this place. Lost out on almost $700. Need to take this property off the internet.

Very nice surroundings

First, I very rarely leave a poor review. I do now because my experience was so exceptionally poor and the photos and description of the estate used to sell rooms are NOT at all accurate. I was sold by all the beautiful photos and good reviews I saw. I now am shocked that they have the number of good reviews that they do. So strange that there are any. We showed up and found the office. No one was there and we found an envelope with our name and the keys to the room. It’s a large estate so we had to wander around for a good while just trying to figure out where to go. I could see there were others in the same predicament. We actually never were given any information whatsoever during our stay and just had to figure it out. We were put in a room with issues that would have been known to the hotel prior to booking us in that room. The shower faucet had been broken at some point and then rigged in a weird way to continue working instead of just being fixed correctly. The problem is it still didn’t work correctly and I could not control the temperature. I had to take a scalding hot shower. Fastest shower of my life. Also, the room, especially bathroom, was dirty. It had other people’s old splattered toothpaste on the walls and hair in the shower…gross. The pillows were terrible quality and had to be at least 10 years old…again gross. They were all lumpy and we both had neck aches for several days later. We stayed in a room in the main building. It was very dark and dreary in the building and the room, with no good lighting. We had access to the “grotto” which looks really cool in the photos for swimming. It’s not. It’s very run down, not a comfortable place to hang out, and the water doesn’t look clean. They have breakfast, which was fine. Eggs, fruit, toast, the usual. On weekends the hotel serves dinner for $35 each. Be prepared that it is in no way worth $35. They were serving a buffet with lasagna, chicken, and salad. There may have been some rolls or bread, I don’t recall. It looked very average and very limited. We were very tired, but decided to make the drive to Fredericksburg for dinner, which I believe took about 25 minutes or so. The entire estate looks neat as you drive up, but then as you walk around you start noticing how run down it has become over the years. Broken out windows, lots of handiman work done by people who probably are not qualified. The number of dangerous tripping/falling hazards I noticed while there was astounding. Needless to say, we will choose more wisely next time we book a place to stay in or around Fredericksburg.

This has great potential. The natural surroundings are beautiful and it is only a mile from Enchanted Rock. The breakfast is great but no coffee available before and breakfast is served starting at 9:00 so if you’re hiking that’s really too late. The dilapidated buildings, the room doors that are not secure, the very low light in the rooms, the old large furniture doesn’t fit in the room, an odd air conditioner structure in our room, the lack of any place to hang clothes or towels was not what we expected from the photos or other reviews. At least reduce the amount of furniture, add appropriate lighting and add towel racks and a spot to hang clothes!

Property was cool but needs some love. Landscaping needs so much love. Paint is peeling everywhere. The pool was never cleaned. The owners gave our key to someone else who walked into our room. The lighting bathroom was very yellow so hard to do makeup and hair. $35 per person for a buffet meal was little overpriced since was not even for one person or couldn’t eat due shrimp allergy. The free breakfast was for only 1 hour and was middle of day.

None of my phone calls were returned. I got there and did not have a welcome packet. The room was dim, the ac LOUD, bed old and uncomfortable, the grotto was unswimable since the heater was broken and I'm amazed there wasn't an electrical fire. Left early, Kevin was nice.

Room was not safe, door would not lock properly because the wood door needed to be replaced among everything else. Anyone that thinks this is a 3 star hotel is very wrong, this is a 1 star resort and very run down. Maybe 30 years ago it was nice but now it should be closed. The room was completely dirty, I checked the roll around AC unit’s filter and was totally clogged and gross, so I had to clean it. This place is a joke and the family running it should be ashamed for charging for this POS. There are many feral cats there and have been fixed but one cat had a broken leg that no one fixed and it grew that way and is in pain. I tried to contact and cat sanctuary but had no answer.

We were so very excited to stay at Trois Estates because of the heated underground cave pool! This is the main attraction and our deciding factor on booking. When we got there, we were informed that the heaters were broken on both underground and above ground pools, so we did not get to have the experience that we actually paid and came for. The room was much smaller than expected, but still very very cute. The bed on the other hand was so hard we did not get a lot of sleep the whole weekend. It was an old hard spring mattress that felt like we were sleeping on cement. We both woke up hurting. All in all, the lodging part of our trip at Trois Estates was our biggest disappointment. It was a neat little place with a great veiw of Enchanted Rock, but given the fact that the main reason we book was for the underground cave pool experience, we were super disappointed that no compensation was offered for the extra amount we paid. We could have stayed in town for much much cheaper with the exact same amenities with more comfortable beds. We decided on our next visit, Trois Estates would definitely not be on our list.

i just returned from a one night stay at the Trios estate BNB, and we stayed in the honeymoon suite. I was looking for a get-a-way from the city to enjoy some peace and quite and do some stargazing without any city lights. If this is what you are looking for, there is no better place. The property has sort of a Terlingua vibe to it, and one feels completely separated from anything urban. There are two (2) major rooftop decks which make excellent star gazing platforms. Older, former and current hippies find this almost place sacred. At it's core, this is a hippie haven, and that makes everything safe, peaceful and easy going. If you are looking for Ritz Carleton type experience, this place is not for you. It is a little funky, and past it's prime but that is part of the charm. Be sure to bring EVERYTHING you need, including food, alcohol...etc. as nothing is for sale here, and the nearest store is a 45 minute roundtrip. I highly recommend this BnB.
