We enjoyed our stay with Lisa & Harry. They are so friendly and run a first-rate B&B. Breakfast was delicious and plentiful.

Underpriced, underrated, but unfortunately maybe overlooked. A surprise for my wife's birthday and a smart choice on my part. She was elated. Hosts are unbelievable and we will be back.

This was one of the most pleasant two day weekends I have ever had. The Borstel's treated me as though I was family.

We traveled to Hillsboro, Tx to attend a concert by Willie Nelson. We stayed two nights at the Windmill. Harry made us feel like family. His breakfasts were excellent. We would definitely stay there again.

The Windmill B&B is beautifully appointed and feeds the senses as well as providing comfort for the body. The breakfast was delicious. We felt very cared for.

We came here on a business trip, but with all the charm and quietness of this B&B it felt more like a mini vacation. The 2 breakfast Harry fixed was simply delicious. Thank you Lisa and Harry for the great time there and we will be back in a couple of weeks. Thanks again Claire and Paul Brown

This was our first time to stay at a Bed and Breakfast. We wanted to do something special for our 40th wedding anniversary.We decided on Windmill because my wife liked the rooms pictured on the website. It was only an hour away from home. It was out in the country, and away from downtown. Even though it rained constantly, the two days we were there, we had a most enjoyable stay. Fortunately, we just happened to be the only guests that weekend. The rooms were clean and beautifully appointed. We loved the big porch and the rocking chairs. The breakfasts were excellent. When told of my lap band, Lisa made sure to provide me with portions that were not overwhelming. While attentive, they did not hover. We are planning to go back for a week the next time we visit. We hope that time is very near!

We stayed here on our way back to Houston. We had been gone for 10 days and this was the last night of our trip. Sitting on the porch drinking my morning coffee was a real treat. It was the perfect end to a very relaxing vacation. We plan to make the same trip next year and plan to stay here again.

Lovely country home. Very private off a winding gravel road. Arrived early & was given tour & history of the house. Original section late 1800's. Great views, bed, breakfast....really enjoyed the hot scones!! Every thing was nice. Big bath with tub set under huge window. Lovely time. Nice to be away from city.

A nice peaceful touch from the past, yet present day. Embellished with Victorian surroundings inside, surrounded with country setting outside. A perfect mix of both. Hope to return as soon as possible.

A beautiful place, both inside and out. The Country Garden Suite was ideal, and the food was excellent. The hosts were very friendly and considerate, both involved, yet behind-the-scenes!

We stayed in the Country Garden suite. Room is very nice and comfortable. My daughter loved staying in the "tent" room and watching the birds outside her window. Lisa and Harry are wonderful hosts. Would highly recommend!!

If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful B&B, close enough to the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex to be a short ride, but secluded enough to help you feel a world away - come o the Windmill. The property is immaculate; well maintained, wonderfully decorated, with fascinating architecture and suites. The beds are like floating on clouds. Don't let the "country" air fool you totally though - satelite TV channels to be able to stay in touch with the world (we watched the olympics and the stars thru the skylight at the same time), solid cell service (if you wanted it), and less than 10 minutes from the Interstate. Harry and lisa make you feel like family, without all the baggage that family has. You feel at home - without the chores. All in all, one of the BEST experiences we've had, in any lodging, from Hong Kong to Paris and beyond. We WILL be back.

My wife and I found the Windmill most pleasant, the service and food very good! The owners went out of their way to see that we were served.

My husband and I stayed at the wonderful, relaxing B & B. This was our 1st time in the 12 years. We have been named to married to stay at a Bed N Breakfast. We loved it!

We were looking for a B&B near Whitney for a family reunion there. We were delighted with our room, wonderful food and hospitality- A cool breeze on the porch.

The owner's, Harry & Lisa, were extremely thoughtful & gracious - The met our every need and then some. The inn itself was a beautiful setting, charming & comfortable. I would return

We needed a place to stay on the way to a business trip in Austin. It was a perfect getaway that was much needed. It is out in the country so you're able to get away from the city noises and lights which is so nice. Our hosts were very pleasant, very accomodating, and didn't hover which was appreciated. We were in the country garden suite and we loved the view of the gardens below. The Jacuzzi was wonderful and the bed was very comfortable. Lisa had made chocolate chip cookies and rum cake to snack on and it was all very tasty. The breakfast in the morning was truly exceptional with fresh fruit, french toast, eggs, and bacon and coffee outside our room at7AM was a nice touch. We loved staying here and we think we'll probably bring our kids the next time we go.

5 on June 06, 2008
we were welcomed by the owner and shown rooms with some info about the house. then hose was unobtrusive but available. accommodations clean. the meal was wonderful
5 on June 22, 2007
This house has to rooms with more than one sleeping area which makes it perfect for mother/daughter, friends or sister retreats! The jacuzzi was so relaxing after a "hard" day of shopping. The grounds were just gorgeous, and beautiful to admire while strolling or sitting on one of the porches with coffee. There was so much to read, that this TV addicted girl found herself with a stack of books and a few magazines in amazement! Words can not describe the delicious abundant breakfast and never ending evening treats! We will be back!

What a beautiful and quaint house. So relaxing to sit on the porch and watch the hummingbirds. The hosts provided plenty to keep us occupied - a partially worked jigsaw puzzle, interesting books, games, TV (we didn't watch - do that at home!). The 'snacks' were more than adequate - 2 different kinds of cake and a plate of cookies + candy dishes - available always. There were bottles of water in the rooms. It's out of town, but the directions on their website are very detailed and easy to follow - and it doesn't take long to get there. The hosts recommended a wonderful grill in nearby Whitney for dinner and provided a fabulous breakfast - the quiche was light, crisp bacon, fresh cranberry scones, orange juice, iced water, and a fresh fruit cup of strawberries and bananas. Coffee / tea. The coffee and tea at the door in the morning is such a nice touch. The beds were very comfortable, the linens smooth, and the towels soft and thick. I appreciated the old quilts on display. I was looking for a place that had adjoining rooms and this one fit the bill perfectly. This was a mother/daughters trip birthday present for mom. She loved it and I think adopted Lisa and Harry! The hosts, Lisa and Harry, are friendly, accomodating, unobtrusive, and very hospitable.
