If you're craving Texas Hill Country charm without the crowds, I can’t recommend Comfort enough—it’s one of those places I go to truly unwind. I love wandering the quiet streets lined with historic buildings, poking through antique shops, and sipping wine under shady oaks. Whether you’re there to slow down or explore, you’ll feel exactly what the name promises—comfort.
Best Time to Visit
Personally, I think spring and fall are the absolute best times to visit. I’ve caught wildflowers blooming in March and sipped local reds on a sunny patio in October. The weather’s ideal for relaxing outside, hitting a wine festival, or just strolling the historic district without breaking a sweat.
How to Get There
- By Car: I usually make the easy drive on I-10—it’s less than an hour from San Antonio and just 25 minutes from Boerne or Kerrville. The scenery starts changing as soon as you leave the city.
- By Plane: If you’re flying in, San Antonio International Airport (SAT) is super convenient. I’ve landed there and been in Comfort with a glass of wine in hand within the hour.
- By Bike: I’ve seen plenty of cyclists using Comfort as a scenic stop. If you’re into Hill Country rides, this place is a peaceful and pretty detour with welcoming spots to rest and refuel.
Where to Stay
- Hotel Giles – I stayed here once and absolutely loved the character. You’ll find antique charm blended with cozy touches, all right in the heart of town.
- Camp Comfort – If you’re into cool, creative spaces, this place is such a treat. It used to be a bowling alley, and now it’s one of my favorite boutique stays in the area—perfect for couples or solo escapes.
- The Meyer Inn – When I wanted something peaceful, I chose this spot along Cypress Creek. You’ll find cottages, gardens, and that kind of riverside calm that’s hard to leave behind.
