Beautiful no frills Lake Lodging
This was an amazing place to stay. The room was no frills but extremely clean and comfortable with everything needed for stay on lake. The grounds were beautiful and everything needed for lake fun and fishing or simply soaking up the view. The fishing peer was well set up from catching, cleaning and cooking. Enjoyed the heard of deer around the grounds.

Nice place to stay
The room was clean and comfortable. I loved the area behind cabin overlooking the lake and the fishing pier was nice. We had beautiful sunsets and visits from the deers.
Love this spot with the great views of the lake. Great for exploration with the different state parks near by. Tons of deer to see.
Wish the fish were there but can only do so much on land without live bait from local shops.
I was looking for a quiet place on the lake and it was beautiful. It was quiet and very clean and the owners were very attentive. Great place, highly recommend.
Safe quiet, clean Beautiful area to enjoy every morning and every evening. I enjoyed my stay there. I’m looking forward to coming back and maybe trying the tiny house that’s on the property. The painted sky inn is set up for families and friends to enjoy lake life with lots of amenities, I have and will be telling my friends about this place.
This is my second visit to Pained Sky Inn on Lake Buchanan. The location is perfect for my Kayaks. The views and sunsets are amazing here. Easy contactless check-in and great communication via text. The grounds are well kept, and I like that it’s gated with code only access.

Loved it
Loved the room, and the view! Absolutely beautiful and peaceful.
Exactly what we were looking for! We loved our stay at Painted Sky. The room was comfortable and clean. The kitchen had all that we needed in order to cook a meal and enjoy while gazing out at the sunset over the lake. Deer wandering the neighborhood make for an enchanting atmosphere. We liked that it was a scenic 20 minute drive from town, but some may prefer a property closer to restaurants and shopping. We explored the area during the day and enjoyed the view in the mornings and evenings. Quiet, peaceful, quaint... just a very relaxing getaway.

Painted Sky Views!
A great place to stay for the weekend. Comfortable beds, great views of the sunset, swim just feet from your back door, underwater lit fishing deck where the fish are practically jumping from the water!
I needed the peace and quite that the location offered. The only drawback was the drive from the main road to the venue. It was a little nerve wracking with the skinny 2 lanes and the weather. I would revisit in better weather to take advantage of the water activities offered. The view was spectacular at night and in the morning. You could hear the fish jumping out of the water. If you are a photographer this is the perfect location to get snapshots.
