Sophie's Cottage is at the Last Outpost, in the hills just north of Bandera, with game ranches on every side. The Hill Country State Natural Area and the Guadalupe and Medina rivers are all within about a half hour's drive, and Kerrville and Medina are close.

The cottage sits in a shady grove. Inside are vintage furnishings, a metal-framed queen bed, and a bathroom with a roomy clawfoot tub under an antique stained-glass window. The kitchenette has a coffee pot and a mini fridge stocked with complimentary drinks. A box unit handles heating and cooling, there is a TV and a stereo with a CD player, and linens are provided.

Outside, the seating area looks out over the hills. There is a fire pit with wood supplied and a chiminea for smaller fires. Coffee and fresh local fruit are left for you on arrival.

Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.

WHY WE LIKE IT
We usually suggest Sophie's Cottage for two people who want to be out of reach for a few days. There is no Wi-Fi and cell service comes and goes, so the evenings belong to the porch, the fire pit and the view. Game ranches surround the property, which keeps the wildlife close. And there is coffee and fresh local fruit waiting when you arrive.
