Insta-Worthy Airbnb | Just outsideMission Hills Ranch
We’re ALL heart-eyes over this mega-chic Airbnb. Reminiscent of a lifestyle photoshoot set, this “Modern Hill Country Home” gives off a cozy, yet sleek minimalist vibe we can all swoon over. With clean, white walls punctuated by teeny cacti and lush greenery, this private spot is located about 10 minutes from the heart of New Braunfels (and all its treasures). Settle into the clean, crisp rooms, snap a few gorgeous photos, and then head outside to the fire pit.

“Modern luxury meets new-urban charm” in New Braunfels’ mini boutique-style hotel: TCTX Urban Lodge. A relatively new construction located just minutes from downtown, TCTX is equal parts modern styling and charming New Orleans French Quarter (in the Texas Hill Country, of course). Settle into a chic room or suite, then head out to the private courtyard open-air patio for a heated dipping pool cozy seating.
Krause Springs | Spicewoood, TX
Founded in 1955, Krause Springs has long been hailed as a favorite Hill Country hideaway, featuring primitive campsites and RV sites alongside a gorgeous gathering of over thirty natural springs, several of which feed into the man-made pool and the natural pool (which flow into Lake Travis). A bit out-of-the-way (approximately 1.5 hours from New Braunfels, just outside Spicewood), we think Krause Springs is well-worth the trek. The natural area stretches across 115 acres of lush Texas paradise, framed by an awning of outstretched cypress trees and minty-green waters.
