You will find lovely cabins scattered all around Texas Hill Country. If you’re hoping to stay close to Austin, you can rent cabins in towns like Marble Falls or Lake Travis.

Finally, you can find properties located even farther west in towns like Concan and Leakey.

Staying in a cabin in Texas Hill Country will provide you a perfect mix of rustic and modern. Many of these properties are log cabins with cozy interiors that will offer you a perfect retreat from the constant stress of everyday life.

However, you will also often find added bonuses like spacious yards, patios and decks, beautiful views, and even swimming pools at these properties.

Country music fans will fall in love with the endless opportunities to enjoy live music in Texas Hill Country. Austin is the Live Music Capital of the World, so you’ll be sure to find an artist that you like at one of its roughly 250 music venues. But you can also enjoy great music culture outside of the big city. Head to the small town of New Braunfels to check out the legendary Gruene Hall, which has hosted big names like George Strait and Willie Nelson. Speaking of Willie, pay a visit to the site where he used to host his family reunions: Luckenbach Texas. You can catch a concert at the town’s dance hall any time of the year.

Pay a visit to 11th Street Cowboy Bar for some of the best country western and country swing bands in all of Texas.

Hikers should be sure to check out Enchanted Rock, a beautiful pink granite formation near Fredericksburg, or climb up Mount Baldy at Garner State Park. If you happen to visit in the summer and are looking to cool off, your options abound. You can rent a boat on Canyon Lake, tube through Guadalupe River State Park, or head to Dripping Springs and take a dip in Hamilton Pool.

You can’t leave Texas Hill Country without enjoying some of its delicious BBQ.

Once you’re ready for dessert, pay a visit to The Blue Bonnet Cafe in Marble Falls for one of their generous portions of homemade pies. You can try a slice of pecan, coconut cream, or lemon meringue, just to name a few.
