Essential Inn Services

Painted Sky Inn offers parking for guests only, with designated spots and overflow parking near the front entrance if needed. All vehicles must use the parking tag located inside of each room. RV sites must park in the RV site itself and not the main parking lot. The inn provides wireless internet (WiFi). Ashcans are available outside the back door of all rooms/units, as well as on the pier. Due to the intimate size of Painted Sky Inn, children under 12 must be under the full-time care of parents/guardians. Guests may use two fishing lines at a time while fishing on the pier.

“This lakeside inn offers a peaceful retreat, appealing to travelers seeking serenity. The well-equipped kitchens in each room support longer stays, while deer sightings enhance the natural, quiet atmosphere. Though a little removed from Burnet's center, the drive is scenic, ideal for those prioritizing relaxation over immediate access to city amenities.”
