This is my second visit to Pained Sky Inn on Lake Buchanan. The location is perfect for my Kayaks. The views and sunsets are amazing here. Easy contactless check-in and great communication via text. The grounds are well kept, and I like that it’s gated with code only access.

Exactly what we were looking for! We loved our stay at Painted Sky. The room was comfortable and clean. The kitchen had all that we needed in order to cook a meal and enjoy while gazing out at the sunset over the lake. Deer wandering the neighborhood make for an enchanting atmosphere. We liked that it was a scenic 20 minute drive from town, but some may prefer a property closer to restaurants and shopping. We explored the area during the day and enjoyed the view in the mornings and evenings. Quiet, peaceful, quaint... just a very relaxing getaway.

Painted Sky Views!
A great place to stay for the weekend. Comfortable beds, great views of the sunset, swim just feet from your back door, underwater lit fishing deck where the fish are practically jumping from the water!

Peace and Quiet
I needed the peace and quite that the location offered. The only drawback was the drive from the main road to the venue. It was a little nerve wracking with the skinny 2 lanes and the weather. I would revisit in better weather to take advantage of the water activities offered.

Great for fishermen
This is a great place to stay if you are a fisherman. Otherwise, keep in mind this is an old cinder block facility that is run down. When we arrived late at night, hundreds of bugs were swarming our door and entered the room with us. Bugs were everywhere…on the bed, walls, ceiling. The basics of the room were clean (floor, sink, bed), but the walls, baseboards, light fixtures, etc were dirty. It needs a deep clean. The AC is a window unit. HUGE NEGATIVE: there are french glass doors with flimsy plastic blinds that let in blinding light with sunrise, making it impossible to sleep. It’s literally like a spotlight shining in your entire room. If you get up at the crack of dawn, it’s great. If you arrive at 3:00 am and need to sleep in, it’s awful. Positives: it’s beside the lake, and there are dozens of deer around in the evening.

The view is good. The room is ok. The bathroom faucet is not working, seems clogged. It has stove and full sized refrigerator (much appreciated). The water taste quite bad, it would be nice to provide a few free bottle of water. Not sure if there are vending machine for water. The lake is seriously low, surprisingly lots of catfish tho. But i didnt come for catfish… Overall, it was a good stay! Especially if the water not so low.

Gated for guests only. Right on Lake Buchanan. Deer all over the property. Nice thick green grass in front and plenty of chairs, benches and hammocks under the trees. Well maintained property. Rooms are spotless and kitchen stocked with the essentials. Had a Keurig and regular coffee pot. Will definitely stay again.

The property was beautiful. It was very peaceful and quiet which is exactly what we needed. We really liked the fact that we can fish right off the dock. The room was comfortable and clean. We will be back! The only downside is the restroom by the doc was locked so we had to go to our room every time we needed to use the restroom. I definitely highly recommend this place

Nice couples getaway
We were here during the off-season and nearly had the place to ourselves. Touchless check-in process. Everything was done by email and text, which turned out to be quite convenient. The room was essentially a connected bungalow that backed right up to Buchannan Lake. Seeing the sunsets here sure explains why they call this Painted Sky Inn. We had a very nice and relaxing stay. Though located well off the beaten path, it was not at all inconvenient to Hill Country attractions. We will definitely consider staying here again.
