wedding at the plant

5 of 5
Submitted: December 27, 2008 Stayed: November 2008
This was my husband and I's first choice when deciding on a venue for our wedding. We both have a love for architecture and design and this contemporary home with the outdoor space in the hill country was the perfect setting for what we envisioned. We both love the outdoors and that is where we spend much of our time, so it made sense to get married outside at sunset with an outdoor party following. I will admit that I was concerned about the distance from Austin, because a majority of our guests were coming from not only out of town, but out of state, plus we wanted people to enjoy themselves and not have to worry about drinking and driving. Therefore we chartered buses, and as far as we heard they worked out flawlessly. This was my biggest concern, but all the feedback was positive. Many of our friends and family had funny stories from their bus trips that made the entire experience more memorable. The owners were wonderful to work with, very accommodating to any special requests we made and they were a pleasure to work with. The property was in perfect condition and it was seamless for our rental company, catering company and band to load in and out. Our guests all raved about the location and will not soon forget the event. It is such a unique venue that your event will definitely be memorable. I would definitely recommend this property to anyone for not only events but a fun getaway. It made our wedding so special and unique and we would not change a thing. We look forward to using this venue again and again for romantic getaways to our future anniversary parties. The owners were excellent to work with and the venue was a spectacular locale.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Stephanie & Michael

Celebration despite the weather!

5 of 5
Submitted: October 3, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
My family stayed at The Plant, enjoying the locale as well as the verve of the space! The younger kids loved the natural items, and exploring the up and down stairs. The adults loved being able to sit at a big table for meals. Everyone slept well.

When our evening celebration had to move into The Plant due to threatening weather, it was obviously a much easier place to host a big gathering than our yard! All of our guests loved the architecture, and the openness!
There was room for the caterers, the musicians, and ample useable areas for our guests.
We had an unforgettable gathering- and we are certain we will be hosting another party there!

Many thanks to the very helpful owners! Martha and Jamie Kinscherff
Owner's Response: We're delighted it went so well!

Staying at the The Plant

4 of 5
Submitted: September 13, 2012 Stayed: September 2012
Pros: There is something really special about this place. We just had my wife's birthday party there with some friends and everyone thought it what so awesome. It has interesting architectural history, personality, scenery, solitude, and the biggest screen-in porch area you have ever seen. It’s adult and child friendly along with a covered pool area that makes sitting by the pool less miserable in the Texas summers. The layout allows for a variety of events or just a good-ole get away for the family. The owners were very nice and accommodating. The property was clean with everything working properly. I would completely recommend this property.
Cons: Bed mattresses; strange neighbor.

My wife and I spent a great week at The Plant in July. This is the third year we have done so. As always, the stay was great. Each time we go, things get a bit better. Anyone looking for a quiet getaway would have a fabulous time.

Perfection

5 of 5
Submitted: July 9, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
My family met at The Plant for some time together around the the 4th. I can't say enough about the space. The design is amazing. You can sit on the porch in our Texas 100 degree days and not break a sweat. There is a lovely breeze blowing at all times. We all make use of the pool and everyone could sprawl out because the place is so spacious. We cooked everyday and the kitchen is perfect for turning out meals for a group. Large commercial stove, sub zero refrigerator plenty of stainless counter space. We dined in a few times in and out on the porch a couple of times.The wildlife was amazing, donkey, sheep, birds, lizards.....just a very peaceful, place. Special place, do not hesitate to book it. The Plant is a gem.
