About Backroads Hill Country

We're a local, family-run team, and the phone always goes to a real person who knows these roads, these towns, and these houses. We look after every property ourselves and care as much about your stay being right as you do — no call center three states away, just neighbors who love this corner of Texas and want you to love it too. If you need anything before or during your stay, we're close by and easy to reach.
The Texas Hill Country isn’t just a land of rivers and rolling hills—it’s also one of the fastest-growing wine regions in the country, rivaling spots like California’s Napa Valley. With more than 100 wineries scattered across the area, along with a booming craft beer scene, there’s no shortage of places to sip and savor. Whether you’re a fan of bold reds, crisp whites, or hoppy IPAs, the Hill Country offers something for every palate.
The Texas Hill Country isn’t just about wide-open spaces, winding rivers, and scenic drives—it’s also home to some of the most charming small towns in the Lone Star State. Each community has its own personality, rooted in history, culture, and the landscape that surrounds it. Whether you’re drawn to cowboy saloons, German bakeries, antique shops, or wineries, these towns are the heart and soul of the Hill Country experience.
There’s a certain feeling you get when you step into the Texas Hill Country — a quiet mix of wonder, freedom, and belonging. Maybe it’s the wide skies that stretch forever, or the way the hills catch the evening light just right. Maybe it’s the old stone towns, where history whispers through limestone walls, or the rivers that carve their way patiently through time. Whatever it is, this place has a spirit all its own. It’s rugged yet graceful, wild yet welcoming — the kind of place that invites you to explore, stay a while, and remember what life feels like when it’s simple and real.
The home was precious. It had old home feel with upgraded amenities. It was within walking distance to many places that we visited and less than a block from the 12th street cowboy bar, which is where we spent New Years. It couldn’t have been more convenient. We highly recommend and will be back.

The Carriage House is kind of a cool old structure. It was located near Main Street of Bandera. Many shops, bars and restaurants near by. We were amazed of how many deer came to visit the neighborhood. So neat to watch them. I would definitely stay there again.
Brandy
This place is so neat! Our whole family loved it. So close to everything but still tucked away. The decor was so neat for a trip to Bandera. It has the best bathtub I’ve ever been in! Our family felt like we were living in the old days, which fit the theme of the town. The hosts are so accommodating. Great kitchen. Close to everything, so easy to walk back and forth even just to use the bathroom. It’s very close to 11th at Cowboy Bar. If there’s a band, you’ll hear the music at night. Wasn’t loud enough to keep us up, though. And largely blocked out by the sound of the air conditioner. But it is really nice to skip the crowd (and if you have kids that can’t go in the bar)- you can sit on your tailgate or in the courtyard and listen to the music. We even danced in the street beside the house! It was just fantastic! We will definitely stay here again! It’s our new favorite place to stay in Bandera.

My group booked this property for the weekend of the Thunder in the Hills Rally. It was in the perfect location. We were able to walk most places that we wanted to. The covered the parking for the bikes was greatly appreciated. The room was spacious and clean. The downstairs seating area was perfect for the evening. I loved this place!
