The Texas Hill Country: A World Apart (Just for You)
If you’ve never been to the Texas Hill Country, you lovebirds are in for a treat!
The Texas Hill Country is sometimes called “the gateway to the American Southwest.” That’s because its geography and vegetation make it a dividing line, and truly unique.
Hill Country reaches from San Antonio to Austin. It is located on the famous Edwards Plateau. The area includes such natural wonders as lakes (of course!), fascinating caverns, waterfalls, and rolling expanses of vegetation.
It has emerged as the center of the Texas wine industry, boasting more than 50 famous vineyards.
What is There to Do in the Texas Hill Country?
Of course, you don’t just have to sit side-by-side gazing into each other’s eyes. (Though there’s really nothing wrong with a good dose of that!)
When you want to explore this idyllic locale, here are a few things you can try:
1. Local Wineries
The Texas Hill Country is famous for its wineries. In fact, it boasts more than 50!
We’re fortunate to have two of the best located within minutes of Cedar Lodge’s lake cabin rentals. People from across the nation flock to this locale every year to discover amazing wines and lush vineyards. Be sure to take a bottle or two back to your cabin so you can sip some vino lakeside later.
Most tours will include wine tasting, which is a romantic activity all by itself. Cedar Lodge Texas recently partnered with Torr Na Lochs, a nearby vineyard, and are offering tasting discounts exclusively for our resort guests. Check out this list of famous Hill country wineries, here. Explore them all and choose your favorites!
2. Water Activities Galore
You’re near the water, so the answer to those down days when you’re looking for action is obvious. Go for some big water fun!
Texas Hill Country Lakes, like Lake Buchanan, are spacious, with gorgeous surroundings (such as trees and waterfalls) and offer plenty of fun at your fingertips.
Try any of these:
- Canoeing
- Kayaking
- Water-skiing
- Paddleboarding
- Jet skiing
- Fishing (yes, this can be a couples’ activity – try it!)
3. Taking it All In: Lake Cruise Tours
If you’d like to kick back but still want to discover all the amazing amenities of your romantic lake getaway, try a lake cruise tour.
A lake cruise tour can be relaxing but informative at the same time. You’ll be amazed how much you can learn, including the fascinating history of the area.
Be sure to bring your phone or a camera – you’ll be seeing some beautiful sights you just won’t get anywhere else.
4. Stepping Out: Activities Beyond the Lake
Wandering beyond the lake, you’ll find loads of ways to dig in and truly enjoy the Texas Hill Country during your romantic getaway.
Get physical together with the following:
- Take a zip lining class – these are one of the most popular activities among our readers!
- Rent a vehicle and go off-roading
- Take a walking tour (choose your activity level; these range from a mile or under to more advanced trekking)
- Explore local towns alone or with other couples as a tour (We recommend our guests check out the nearby antique shops for some local historic finds you can’t get at a department store.)
- Go hiking near Cedar Lodge’s cabins or farther afield; let us know if you need any recommendations!
