We truly enjoyed our stay. It was perfect. We only stayed one night while traveling back to Houston from Branson, Missouri. It was a part-way-home spot as we made our way back to Texas, sight-seeing along the way. What a neat find! Thank you.

Better service and bigger trash can

Room was set up very beautifully, bed was very comfy. We stayed for two nights, I do understand there's no room service. But there's only one little small trash can in the bathroom. My husband have to go outside the street to dump our trash. If I have to pay $100 per night, I would like to have my bedroom clean daily with new towels and bigger trash can.

Spectacular property. Room is stylish and comfortable. Spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and well organized. Nicest owner we ever met! Crystal washing station right in the backyard. Delicious Mexican restaurant that is walking distance. Close to crystal mines. Looking forward to our next trip to Rockhound Boutique Hotel!

We loved staying at the Rockhound, it was perfect for everything we needed. My only suggestion would be to add a blackout curtain to block the streetlight across the road. Other than that it was the perfect little getaway!

blown away with perfection

Style was gorgeous, attention to detail impeccable. Every thing new and clean, most comfortable bed I’ve experienced at any luxury hotel. The soaking tubs and bath robes so comfortable. The concierge service wonderful. I couldn’t have asked for more useful amenities the gas grill, out door fireplace and rock cleaning station were more than appreciated. I would give this place a 210% better than many luxury hotels I’ve stayed.
