Where to stay
From a Sunday house off Main Street to a bunkhouse on a working ranch — how (and where) to sleep in the Hill Country.
Six ways to stay

Historic German “Sunday houses” and bed-and-breakfasts in walking distance of Main Street — the most characterful stay in the region.

Working ranches with bunkhouses, trail rides, and cowboy cookouts. Sleep on real ranch land and ride in the morning.

Cottages and cabins on the Blanco, Guadalupe, and Cypress Creek — steps from the water and a short drive to town.

Resorts and rentals on Lake LBJ, Lake Travis, and Lake Marble Falls — boating, swimming, and granite-hill views.

Vineyard guesthouses and luxe inns set among the tasting rooms — wake up in the vines, walk to the wine.

Tent and RV sites and a few cabins at Pedernales Falls, Enchanted Rock, and the river parks — dark skies included.
Book ahead. Lodging is tight on spring wildflower weekends, summer river days, and fall festival weekends — reserve early, especially in Fredericksburg, Wimberley, and Gruene.
