Welcome to the Chantily Lane

The Chantily Lane is an historic home and has been referred to "the yellow house which used to sit out in the middle of the cactus field on Post Road". Built in the early 1900's the family sold the land and moved the house to its' present location. It now sits among 15 acres of Texas Live Oaks in a private country location on Post Road between San Marcos and Kyle. Sitting on the front porch and gazing at the stars, gives one the feeling of 'alone with the land'; however, San Marcos is 5 miles south and Kyle is 7 miles north along Post Road.

Our love for antiques and architecture made it seem easy to fill Chantily Lane with priceless treasures that seem like they have always been there. Our chef's flair for cuisine satisfies any need that you may have including a romantic meal for two, homemade Family Italian dinners, or a simple but indulgent breakfast filled with fresh scones, muffins and sweet butters.

In town for an event?

If you or your family are attending an event at

Texas State University, or San Marcos, the Chantily

Lane is the perfect location for staying the weekend.

The spacious kitchen and sunroom allows a roomy

area for the family to gather. Six sleeping rooms, which

sleep a total of 12 people, enables the entire group to

stay in one location. Many times it's a wedding or

anniversary that brings family togetherfrom all ends

of the states. Why loose precious time traveling from

hotel to hotel and to event.

Visiting the Hill Country, Austin, Or San Antonio?

Can't decide whether you want to visit South Congress'

market days in Austin or Gruene's Market Days near

New Braunfels, stay in Kyle and do both during your

visit to the Hill Country. The Chantily Lane is centrally

located to all the exciting Central Texas locations.

Kyle is considered the doorway to the Hill Country and

the bedroom community to Austin. San Antonio is

less than 45 minutes away. Did you know one of the

largest outlet malls, The Prime Outlets of San Marcos,

is located just south of Kyle?

Biking, Rafting, or

Texas Wine Trail Anybody?

We are located on the famous "Stagecoach Bike Trails"

which is one of the famous bike paths in the hill country

that even Lance Armstrong is familiar with. The San

Marcos, Blanco, Comal and Guadulupe Rivers are close

by for floating or kayaking. Canyon Lake is 30 minutes

away. One can jump on the popular Texas Wine Trail

just around the corner in Driftwood with both the

Mandola Estate and Driftwood Wineries.

Are you arriving at the Austin or San Antonio Airport?

The Austin airport is a 30 minute drive and the San Antonio is just a little further at a 45 minutes drive. The Chantily Lane is actually closer to the local airports than many of the other high occasion venues.

A Bed and Breakfast Stay.

The Chantily Lane has a wide variety of rooms from twin to king beds, from shared to private baths, from kitchen to sunroom, and three porches with a view. To start or end your day perfectly, soak in one of the 2 classic Claw Foot tubs. Enjoy the porch swing or rockers while gazing at the Hill Country's natural setting and unique critters in our unique secluded location. Bird watchers, bring your binoculars, there is much to see! What more could you ask for in a B&B stay? Our chef will whip up a gourmet breakfast, a basket of delicious breads, or even a romantic candlelight dinner. You decide.
