Mason
The town
A courthouse square,
a river, and room
to breathe.
Mason sits where the Hill Country begins to open up: limestone underfoot, live oak overhead and the Llano River running cool a few minutes out of town. The whole downtown is a walkable square of stone storefronts, tasting rooms and diners that still serve breakfast at dawn.
Come for the wildflowers in spring, stay for the music on Spring Street, and leave with a cooler full of barbecue and a case of local wine.

Two hours from Austin. A world away from the interstate.
Mason County is wildflowers, river bends, a courthouse clock and dinner served until the last table leaves. Start with the plan page for distances, seasons and a walking order for the square.
