The Walden Plantation Bed and Breakfast just nine miles west of Llano Texas is a beautiful and serene place to stay. It is more like a hotel or resort.  We got the winter discount for 69.00 per night. The rooms were charming and decorated beautifully. The bed was very comfortable. It was chilly when we arrived right after a cold front but we still enjoyed the serenity, the quiet, and the sounds of the flowing river over the rocks.  The river levels were down because of the drought last summer but it was still beautiful.  The owner said they rent kayaks in the summer and also offer tubing. They take you about a mile and a half up the river to start.  Breakfast was good.  We had dinner Sunday evening in Llano but many of the restaurants are closed on Sunday.  The town of Llano is very quaint with many unique shops. We will definitely go back.
