Enjoyed my stay with Mariah. If you're looking to get away and escape this is the place. Beautiful lake views and hiking. If you don't plan on eating there, the closest place to get food is about 20 mins away and is cash only. It was a great escape from life and the view in the sunset guest house was beautiful! I'd love to go back with my husband!Walkability: Very steep hills and uneven paths

Best couples retreat place ever. My wife and I had the most relaxing time. Great food, great host, beautiful scenery. If you are wanting to de-stress, enjoy nature, and get the best massage of your life, then look no further. Mariah is a real treasure and she has created the best atmosphere you can imagine. Bella (photo) is one of the sweetest dogs ever and loved going on hikes with us. Also, Medicine Rock (photo) is a very special place. This was the first of many trips for us to this enchanted sanctuary.

Family gathering for the weekend was very satisfying. We were well prepared for the experience as the website and communications were well designed and delivered. I have had the privilege of visiting several B&B over the past few years and I believe our visit with Rainbow Hearth was the most exceptional. The facility location and design will provide opportunity to exercise muscles you may not have even realized you pocess. This is as close to a Natural retreat as I have ever experienced without backwoods camping. Meals served were very tasty, I recommend you try the omelet for breakfast. Our group included a limited mobility guest and Mariah was exceptionably accommodating. We always enjoy the ability to vacation with our four legged family members, not always easy to find a location that will allow this so thank you so much Mariah! Massage was requested for one of the family members who found the experience satisfying as well as enlightening as Mariah located knots of pressure before unknown.Tips for visitors:1. This is a Sanctuary & Retreat - Entertainment can be very easily located; we enjoyed many hikes and the views are spectacular. We played games for hours in the dining room. We did not miss the televisions. If you wish to exercise your own mental capacity and simply relax, visit Rainbow Hearth. The architecture of the facility and library can also provide mental exercise, a great variety. If you wish to be pampered, I would suggest locating resort that specializes in this activity.2. There is refrigeration available for those with medical needs, limited space. A simple discussion with Mariah will provide solutions. We brought our own coolers as well.3. I shared the meal plan with our guest prior to our stay, if you have picky eaters you may need to find other sources. I can say with all our picky eaters, no one was left hungry after a meal. Meals were well prepared, quite tasty and I had no doubts that we were fed Healthy meals.4. After reading a couple of the negative reviews I want to add something here. I found Mariah to be an intelligent, no nonsense hostess. I felt that she was pleasant to converse with and active listening to be a key skill to exercise. My experience is that she will help you find solutions to your Needs for the stay if properly presented.Rooms were very clean, orderly and provided for all our needs. Beds were "Sleep Number" and therefore adjustable to most sleeper requirements.

It's up from the lake in the trees with a great view of the north end or lake Buchanan 20 or so minutes from Burnet. I highly recommend it especially if you want to relax.You must check this place out!

Cute and quaint. Bring your own food (Takeout, no kitchenette or cooking tools available) and plan your entertainment ahead of time. Unless you are newlyweds you will struggle to find things to do in this neck of the woods. Don't plan on eating here, it's not what you are looking for.

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.

FABULOUS place! Would HIGHLY recommend! Much love and care went into the creation of this wonderful space. My room was beautiful! The use of natural light and view out of my windows was spectacular. Even the bed sheets were picked with care as they were extremely soft. The meals were delicious and organic. The atmosphere for dinner was great as the tables were set, the lights were lowered, soft music played and a candle was on each table. No clocks or TV's anywhere. A hot tub was available for private use as well. Can't wait to visit again and stay longer! Thanks Mariah! For specifics check out her site.

My visit at The Rainbow Hearth Sanctuary was simply magical. Starting with the smiling and welcoming face of the owner Mariah, through all the vibrant rainbow colors of the home like facilities, organic salads and delicious fish & soups cooked fresh everyday, expert massages with surprisingly incredible power tools! Mariah is jack of all trades❤️❤️❤️ Life changing experiences. Invigorating energy surrounds the land the sanctuary is built on. Can not wait to go back in May and hug Mariah and her doggie Sunny! THANK YOU. Pavlina and JonasPhoto
