Six ways to stay

Pick your kind of place

Sunday Houses & B&Bs
Fredericksburg

Sunday Houses & B&Bs

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

Dude & Guest Ranches
Bandera & the western hills

Dude & Guest Ranches

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

Riverfront Cabins
Wimberley, Gruene & the rivers

Riverfront Cabins

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

Lakeside Resorts
The Highland Lakes

Lakeside Resorts

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

Wine-Country Estates
US-290 corridor

Wine-Country Estates

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

Camping & Cabins
State parks & natural areas

Camping & Cabins

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.
