About this property

Award-winning Apartment in Downtown Boerne

Featured in April 2013 Fine Homebuilding Magazine ('Stress Free in South Texas'), this home won the magazine's national award for Best Retirement Home. You can see pictures of the apartment in the magazine article. It is a sustainable, energy-efficient home designed by the owner-architect, but its cozy apartment has all the comforts of home and a vintage feel!

Charming, 2nd floor apartment in the heart of Boerne on Frederick Creek. Own kitchen and bath (dishes and linens provided), dining nook, washer-dryer, full-sized refrigerator and stove, microwave, dishwasher, garbage disposal, 32-inch flat screen tv on swivel wall mount, internet access. The bed is a double (not queen) with new mattress and box spring. The living area has a new (queen-sized) sofa bed and upholstered reading chair and rocker. Some of the other furnishings are from the 1930s, and the bed has a wooden headboard and footboard, and as of June 4, 2015, has a newly built frame that eliminates all creakiness of the former antique frame. The tub has a shower. The sofa has comfortable pillows. We provide all dishes, cooking utensils, pots and pans, and coffee maker. The balcony has a small table and two chairs for morning coffee.

10 minute walk to Main Street filled with antique shops and restaurants. 40 minute drive from San Antonio airport. Private entrance, parking. Picnic on the shady creek!

Come for these special events in Boerne:

Every month, Second Saturday and Sunday, crafts, art and wine: crafts market with food and music, just a 5-minute walk from here, and art galleries host wine tour on Saturday night. Shops on Main St. are open till 8pm on Saturday night.

Every Saturday (March-December): Farmer's Market at the Cibolo Nature Center Farm.

Every month, second Tuesday -- Live at the Library. Beautiful music at Boerne's fabulous new library.

We are a quick walk from the Kendall Inn and Peggy's on the Green restaurant, which serves as the trailhead for the Heart of Boerne Trail. The trail connects to the Hill Country Mile, a landscaped walkway connecting downtown along the Cibolo Creek. Walk among trees and native plants from the North end of Main Street with its shops and restaurants to River Road and more of the same. Then you can continue down River Road to other hike and bike paths and follow the Old Number Nine train route through town or to the Cibolo Nature Center and Farm.

Beautiful Stay
Nancy kept in close contact, check in was a breeze. The exterior courtyard, is packed with very nice wildflowers & the likes. The upstairs interior is much nicer than the online pictures can describe. I was solo, out on a work deployment, & it was absolutely perfect for me. Couldn’t say enough about it. Don’t hesitate, scoop it up & enjoy your stay. Because I know you will !!

Perfect location
We like to bike and this place is a perfect middle of the way location to the multitude of trails in San Antonio and the hill country trails. Even a couple shorter trails right in Boerne. The apartment is perfect size and has everything you need for a short or longer stay!

Quality apartment in super locaion
Can't imagine a better location or more comfortable place to stay in Boerne. The apartment is cozy and well-appointed with quality cookware and bedding. It has everything a person might need, including optional visits from the hosts' dog. The hosts are responsive right away for questions, and even offered to get a Roku so we could use our Netflix account. We would certainly stay here again.

Hill Country gem
A sweet bubbling fountain greets visitors in the lovely courtyard of this Boerne Texas gem. The studio apartment had everything I needed - towels, paper goods, kitchen items, washer and dryer. The location was perfect - close to everything one would want - groceries, restaurants, gas, Main street stores and boutiques. Yet I still felt I was getting away from it all at this location that abuts green space. Please note that the VRBO apartment is accessed by stairs so one will need to carry their luggage and groceries up stairs. This was no bother for me and a welcome chance to exercise and work my muscles. I would definitely return to this unique unit lovingly designed by the architect owner. I had a great stay. Everything was perfect.

About the host

Hosted by Nancy Nystrom

Host profile image
We (Nancy and Jon) live in a sustainable, energy-efficient home in the heart of Boerne, TX. Jon is the architect. It was featured in 2013 as the Best Retirement Home in Fine Homebuilding magazine's national Design Awards ('Stress Free in South Texas,' April 2013). You can see a video of our house by doing a google search for Best Retirement Home.

Why they chose this property

The apartment for rent is self-contained, on the second floor, and is across the courtyard from our home, with its own gated entrance. We like the fact that we can walk to the Bear Moon Bakery (unbelievable breakfasts and lunch), or a more modest, but delicious breakfast or lunch at the Boerne Daily Grind. Boerne Taco House and Mary's Tacos are about a 1/2-mile away. For upscale entertainment there is the Boerne Wine Bar or Boerne Cork and Keg, Bistro 259, the Cypress Grill, Valeria Restaurant or the Creek Restaurant, all but Valeria within a 10-minute walk, but we also have chickens next door and deer wandering along the creek behind the house. It's truly country in the city!

For outings, there's Enchanted Rock and Fredericksburg 1 hour away. The Sunset Cafe in Fredericksburg and Hilltop Cafe outside it should not be missed. Only 12 miles from here is Comfort, with it's well-preserved downtown and the beautiful Bending Branch winery. Listen to live acoustic sounds near the outdoor fireplace overlooking the hills. Guadalupe River State Park is 20 minutes away, and Boerne Lake offers swimming, and there are plenty of other state parks nearby. Boerne itself boasts a well-known nature center, hike and bike trails, Second Saturday arts, crafts, and gallery hopping, and numerous other points of interest, which we will be glad to let you know about if you're interested. See the GUIDEBOOK for recommended restaurants.

What makes this property unique

We are in an eclectic residential neighborhood 3 walkable blocks from Main Street. Boerne is a sweet little town, but for extended visits, the large grocery store HEB is a convenient 5 minute drive, and San Antonio is only 30 minutes away. The Hill Country offers beautiful drives and vistas.
