Hillcrest Lodge

Description from the owner

Hillcrest lodge is situated at the top of a hill, overlooking Lake Amistad and the mountains of Mexico. This magnificent setting is located in the center of all the fishing action on Lake Amistad which has been rated the #1 bass fishing lake in the world by Bassing Magazine.

The lodge has been restored with anglers in mind. Our aim is to make your fishing experience here as comfortable and convenient as possible. This lodge can be your vacation home for a few days, a week, or a month. Just come, park your boat, relax, and get ready for Amistad’s fantastic fishing.

The sunsets on the hill are spectactular. We encourage wildlife... to come to the property. You can enjoy watching deer in the yard. Horses stop by the back fence for hay. Many species of birds arrive throughout the year, but the spring migratory birds are a joy to watch. The lodge provides sanctuary and respite for animals and humans alike.

Located in Del Rio TX, the Hillcrest Lodge is situated just minutes away from the number one bass fishing location in the world, Lake Amistad TX. Hillcrest Lodge is so close to the lake and other outdoor recreational activities that guests can choose to view the scenic mountains of Northern Mexico, observe wildlife in their natural habitats or watch fellow anglers and boaters on Lake Amistad, all from the comfort of their secluded, hilltop accommodations. In fact, it is not uncommon to see various species of birds, butterflies, deer and horses roaming the lodge’s grounds or foraging in nearby areas.

Making the Great Outdoors a Comfortable Experience

Sitting on approximately one acre of land, the Hillcrest Lodge is just a short drive from San Antonio TX and allows guests, whether visiting from the bustling city or a more rural-like setting, to experience a fun-filled yet slower-paced day. Perfect for a family vacation, lodge accommodations include bunk beds, a king size bed and a pull-out couch.

Ideal for sportsmen, the Hillcrest Lodge is the optimal inn fishing, hunting and other outdoor recreational participants can reserve. Those interested in long term, short term, or a combination of multiple visits can reserve the Hillcrest Lodge well in advance to ensure they can take advantage of the lodge’s superior accommodations and have a exciting, nature-inspired vacation. Some of features that set the Hillcrest Lodge apart from others include:

All linens provided, with a washer and dryer available to clean laundry,

Fully equipped kitchens and BBQ area to cook your catch-of-the-day,

Cable television including HBO,

Central heat and air provided to help keep your family comfortable,

Kid and pet friendly accommodations,

Onsite boat parking with plenty of boat launches nearby,

Wireless Internet

After a busy day of bass fishing, exploring nearby Amistad National Recreation Area, playing a round of golf at the Val Verde Country Club or exploring the immediate area on foot, evenings at the Hillcrest Lodge allow guests to relax on the lodge’s front porch, watch the sunset over the mountains, play some billiards on the regulation size billiard table, plan tomorrow’s activities while enjoying a home-cooked meal or spend quality family time together in the game/living room.

When the time comes to finally say goodbye, innkeepers Jim and Nancy Sherren look forward to your return, as there is always something new for anglers, birdwatchers, nature enthusiasts and families to see and do at the Hillcrest Lodge and Lake Amistad recreation area.Read more

  Could have been better.

  Left on 03/02/2013 for a stay in January 2013
  
  

  Sits behind a trailer park, 20 feet from a permanant resident, no lake view at all, and no internet at all, no TV for the first 6 days...owners sent a 7 year old over to check the TV hook up.
  When I arrived there were no signs or address to locate this place, and neither of my two Gps's could locate it either by the address given.
  The place is very clean, but almost every light bulb was burnt out to all the fixtures. The water is not drinkable (little white semi-circle things floating in it, smells heavily of metal and sulfur, and you will smell like that after you shower.) The lady that lives next door is very nice and has a W/D if needed. She refused payment for her services but I paid her anyway, because she is very nice and this really help me out a lot.
  Overall, I thought it was a charming place. I liked the rustic decor and it was much better than a typical hotel room. I rated it somewhat lo because I thought the owners could have put a littl more effort into some light bulbs and especially the internet service because I informed them in advance that I was there on business and had to have the internet. I actually did have to finaly check into a hotel after 10 days because the internet provider never came to fix the problem.

  Charming, clean, reasonably priced.

  Traveled with two extended families, including young children and teenagers. Plenty to keep us all occupied. Most of the adults went fishing on Lake amistad - and had a couple of great days on the lake. The Lodge has facilities that make cleaning, cooking fish easy. Plenty of room for boat. Quiet, peaceful atmosphere.
