The Willows of Texas

About The Willows of Texas

Deep in central Texas between Austin and San Antonio lies the Texas Hill Country. It is so called because of its rolling, rugged limestone hills filled with caves, caverns, lazy rivers and dotted with small towns of times past. Fredericksburg, situated in the center of the Hill Country, is known for its unique blend of German and Mexican heritage, ranchers, galleries, Harleys and outdoor bistros. Today’s Fredericksburg retains its German roots, but is all Texas in its approach to the laid back good life. Fredericksburg is a small town with a soft layer of sophistication at the crossroads of peach orchards, vineyards, wildflower trails and longhorn herds. There is a large number of new fine dining options and wineries galore where you can explore the culinary aspects of the Texas Hill Country. Here you will find our premier property collection: The Willows. Found just a few blocks from Main Street’s wine tasting rooms, breweries, shops and restaurants, our peaceful country compound of unique rentals are connected by pink granite paths with private entries. You can find us on VRBO! Use the links to book one of these properties.
