Cedar Creek Inn is a small, no-frills motel at 352 E Vaughan St in Bertram, a Burnet County town on State Highway 29. It offers road trippers, families, and budget travelers a clean, inexpensive base at the eastern edge of the Texas Hill Country.
The appeal is simple. Rooms come with TVs, Wi-Fi is free, and parking is complimentary. Guest reviews average 4.3 stars and most often mention comfortable rooms and an easy highway location. Don’t expect resort extras. This is a place to sleep, refuel, and get moving again. Bertram is small, but its historic downtown has a handful of local shops and diners within a short drive. Austin is roughly an hour southeast, and Burnet is about 15 minutes west.
Visitor Highlights & Practical Info
Book early for Labor Day weekend, when Bertram hosts its long-running Oatmeal Festival and the town’s few rooms fill quickly. Spring wildflower season and summer lake weekends also bring heavier Hill Country traffic. Weeknights outside those periods tend to be the quietest and cheapest. The motel works well as a launch point for Inks Lake State Park, Longhorn Cavern State Park, and the Highland Lakes, all within about a 30-minute drive west. Independent properties sometimes change hours, ownership, or check-in policies, so call ahead to confirm current rates, availability, and late-arrival arrangements before you set out.
