About Backroads Hill Country
Backroads Hill Country has managed vacation properties across the Texas Hill Country since 2001. 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.
Everything at the lodge was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, the kitchen was well equipped, the outdoor spaces were numerous and comfortable, and the game room was fun. It was especially great that each bedroom had it's own bathroom - a real plus. We got several wonderful comments from the family members who stayed with us. We would definitely stay again if the opportunity arose.

Most places I stay are not fully equipped for someone to cook there… this kitchen… whole house actually was spectacular! The owners went above and beyond to make us comfortable! Firewood was stacked indoors and out in case we wanted to use it… Coffee, tea flavored water set up… a snack station… they went above anyone’s expectations on hospitality!!! First rate quiet place to stay!!! You were surrounded by deer, axis deer, Canadian geese with just hatched babies, a Cooper’s hawk on a nest right behind us…and much more! So peaceful and quiet! Going back!!!
Nicola
The kitchen was perfect for our large family. The house was super clean and the host had decorated it so cute for the holidays. We loved the trails you can hike on around the house. The deer were amazing and my sons caught some fish in the ponds. The hosts are super gracious and kind. We had an amazing time.
Nicole
This Lodge and property were beautiful. The hosts were incredible and so kind and accommodating. So much to do here, so much space and close to town, though you felt like you were on your own private ranch. We will absolutely be staying here again and couldn't be happier with having chosen this property for our stay.

I don't think I could have enough room to share how wonderful our 5 days were at Forse Mountain. We came in for my daughter's wedding in the Hill Country and true to their description it was a GREAT place to have all of the family under one roof. We so enjoyed the solitude of the surroundings, the hospitality of the owners, hiking the property, kayaking, fishing, a fire-pit all so needed in the midst of wedding prep hard working days. It may just become a family reunion spot for us!
Patty
We had such a great time at this beautiful property. The pictures do no justice, the house and the outside were just breathtaking. The host were so inviting we can't wait to go back with our family. There were snacks when we arrived that everyone enjoyed as well. The property owners went above and beyond to make sure all of our needs were taken care of. We can't wait to visit with them soon.
