Hill Country Airbnbs For A Spring Road Trip

 

The Hill Country actually isn’t *too* far off from Dallas-Fort Worth, but it feels like a whole other world. And any trip that includes epic stargazing, winery tours, and floating the river is well worth the short drive. Check out these 11 Hill Country Airbnbs that will have you packing your hiking boots, binoculars, and maybe your fuzzy slippers.

This retro-inspired trailer includes a hot tub, fire pit, outdoor shower, basic kitchen, queen bed, Wi-Fi, TV, small library of western movies, and 10 beautiful creekside acres… so you can still tell your friends that you *technically* went camping in the Hill Country. ($135/night)

There’s a little bit for everyone here, but wine enthusiasts are sure to flip out over all of the wineries nearby — the closest one being *next door*. ($135+/night)

This five-acre Hill Country ranch is on one of the top ten scenic drives in Texas called the Devil's Backbone. Switch your phone to ‘Do Not Disturb’ and enjoy some peace and quiet… or just head over and explore all of the nearby towns. ($273/night)

Expect a vintage-inspired Austin experience kitschy furnishings, retro video games, and a (separately booked) Airstream outside. It’s also located near the Blanco River, so you can get some time with Mother Nature, too. ($75/night)

This cute cottage overlooks a meadow shaded with large oak trees for whitetail deer spotting in the morning and fireflies at night. Once you’ve taken in the atmosphere, a short 12-minute stroll to Fredericksburg’s Main Street will have plenty of options for you to get your shopping on. ($72/night)


Look, we’re pretty sure we don’t have to sell this one to you. But just in case, this stunning San Marcos treehouse hideaway also has a private view of the forest in the backyard and includes a vintage clawfoot tub for maximum relaxation. ($168/night)

This log cabin is nestled along the banks of Smith Creek, situated on a private section of 10 gorgeous Hill Country acres. Camp out in front of the fire pit with a beer or two, take a stroll along the creek or look at the stars from the hot tub. ($140/night)

This Wimberley cabin is smack dab in Central Texas Hill County wilderness, so bring your hiking boots. There are also kayaks available to float the river and Wi-Fi available for any guests that would rather camp out in front of the fire pit. ($208/night)

Book this chic sky house with gorgeous views of Canyon Lake and the surrounding landscape for the ultimate getaway. It’s the perfect spot to relax a little, but we also think it’d be an A+ location for a special weekend with friends. ($407/night)

Take your animal-loving travel companion to Karakía, a beautiful farmhouse on 100 acres of wildlife sanctuary land. The listing makes for a truly off-the-grid experience, with solar cells, a water collection system, and *maybe* a critter sighting or two. ($175/night)

This Airbnb is almost too pretty to leave. But if you do want to explore a little, there are plenty of wineries and food stops around to keep you entertained. ($119/night)
