Over the years, the Texas Hill Country has become synonymous with being a getaway from the every-day right here in the Lone Star State. Residents of Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and many other areas throughout the state mark their maps and their calendars to make special trips to the Hill Country for some highly anticipated rest and relaxation. Well, now, it seems that travelers from outside of the state of Texas have since learned of its allure and are also planning to make the trip.

An Austin-based business called HomeAway, which specializes in vacation rentals, has recently named the Texas Hill Country one of the 25 fastest-growing American vacation rental markets, quickly turning the spotlight on this lucky part of the Lone Star State. Based on bookings which were made through its network of vacation rentals, HomeAway prepared their list from statistics for both 2016 and 2017. And, the Hill Country has the amazing honor of being the only Texas destination on the entire list.

KVUE recently shared the news of this listing, although the beauty, peacefulness, and the number of wonderful things to see and do in the Texas Hill Country came as no surprise to us! This geographic location in the Lone Star State gives way to many hills, beautiful rolling valleys, wonderful native vegetation, and some sweet little Texas towns that proudly roll out the welcome mats for visitors. Wineries, walking tours, scenic drives, shopping, and great food are just some of the unique attractions of the area.
