Blanco & Surrounding Areas - Suggested Places to Visit
Hill Country, hole in the wall places to visit....
We love the layed back country places the Hill Country has to offer. Places with old barn and outdoor settings, occasional live music... a cool place to have a relaxing drink. Maybe step nextdoor for a shuffle around the old barn dance floor. We call them "Hole in the Wall" places. Small and yet priceless watering holes along the way.....
"Hole in the Wall" places do not always refer to watering holes. We will mention anything here that we find dear to our hearts, places we visit and places we shop. Places along the way that don't get advertised... some places that are just tiny "holes in the wall" or a "spot on the map" type places that get passed over by unaware passerby's. Places that are part of our Texas history and old way of life that you just might not ever experience again. Maybe a general store, small town mercantile, a place to grab a beer and rest along the beaten path. Or, simply get a good meal at affordable prices.... hidden places. Some of our favorites. . .
Luckenbach was made famous by Willie Nelson's song, "Luckenbach, Texas". The buildings are mostly original with the old barn wood look and feel. Some weekends at Luckenbach are hopping with entertainment anywhere from motorcycle rallies, bicycle rallies, wedding events, dances, giant Texas cookoff competitions, etc. You may find the entire tiny town completely still. They have general store, an old barn dance hall on site and a small bar to grab a beer. Many times when the town is quiet you will find a couple of locals jamming in the bar with their guitars and/or harmicas. At Luckenbach you never know what you might find there. Search the Luckenbach, Texas Calendar of Events for more information.

This place is a blast from the past! Owned and operated by the same family for ions and ions! They run the store the exact same way their grandparents did. You can buy a chicken for supper, a bottle of wine or six pack of beer, buy your Wrangler jeans, a good pair of boots, Levi jacket, cowboy hat, camping gear, a can of green beans or a cake mix. This tiny little place is a blast from the past and certainly worth your stop along the way! Kent still buys his Wrangler jeans and work shirts from this store and I suppose we always will. . . Country mercantile store located on the Hwy 290 in Stonewall, Texas east of Fredericksburg. (Between Johnson City and Fredericksburg).
