About this property
Texas Blue Apple Cottage
Location is everything, they like to say in the business world. That also applies when you're looking for a great vacation home in the Hill Country, and the Texas Blue Apple Cottage in Medina fills the bill nicely! Its picturesque small town/country setting is kid and pet-friendly, and it's close to Medina River access, Lost Maples and Hill Country State Natural Areas. While you'll enjoy the peaceful perks of the location of your "home base," great Hill Country towns like Bandera are close by!
Medina is the Apple Capital of Texas, so there's no better name for this beautiful sky-blue guest home than the Texas Blue Apple Cottage! What's more, Medina's Love Creek Orchards and Apple Store are next door to the Texas Blue Apple Cottage, for a unique fresh-air orchard experience, country store, patio cafe, and even a pumpkin patch in the fall. If you run into any locals at the Apple Store, tell them you're staying at the former home of Elayne's Hairstyling, and they'll know exactly what you mean; she was a familiar face and popular stylist in Medina for years!
The Texas Blue Apple Cottage has recently been remodeled, and its brilliant blue and white exterior gives it a storybook vibe the moment you approach. Behind the home, there's a wooden deck with outdoor furniture, a great place to sip morning coffee, discuss your day, or kick back and decompress. Kids and pets can expend their almost boundless energy in the backyard, and there's also a charcoal grill for tasty Texas-style cookouts.
A rustic ranch theme fills the interior, with barn-style doors and beautiful hardwood flooring. The spacious living area includes a large and comfy couch, which faces a Roku-equipped smart TV. For connectivity, there's Wifi service and a large table for when you need to be online. The full kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, a dining room table that seats six guests, and all the cooking and serving ware you'll need at mealtimes. There's central air and heat for year-round comfort, and even a washer and dryer to help you keep up with laundry!
With a plush and comfy queen-sized bed in the bedroom, a soft sofa bed in the living area, and an additional queen-sized blow-up mattress, the Texas Blue Apple Cottage offers restful accommodations for up to six. Both the bedroom and full bath are furnished with fresh linens for your stay. Speaking of the bathroom, we love the reactions we get from our guests when they first see the shower stall; its shower head is a watering can! It's one of the unique touches that make our visitors fall in love with the place.
Pamper your family with the wonderful small-town setting of the Texas Blue Apple Cottage. We can't wait to hear from you, so we can help make your Hill Country holiday a reality.

We’re so glad the home was a perfect fit for your family! Sounds like the location worked out great and we're happy to hear your kids had a fun time too.
Very quiet and cozy. Easy to relax in. With a short drive you can find tons of things to occupy your day with and come back to relax and the property. I will definitely be staying again in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at the Texas Blue Apple Cottage. It was so comfortable with all the amenities of home. It is directly next door to The Apple Store Bakery and Cafe so easy access for breakfast or lunch. We are looking forward to returning in the near future.

Cute house located right on Highway 16. You can hear some road noise, but it quiets down at night. Cute back patio and yard for pets.

Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the house and the back patio. We appreciate you noting the road noise, and we're happy to hear it quieted down for a peaceful stay!
My wife and I really enjoyed our stay in the Texas Blue Apple Cottage. Very nicely decorated and appointed. And I enjoyed the little deck on the back for both nights we were there. It is directly next door to a bakery which you must try and just down the road from a restaurant that had live music on the Friday night we went by. The only critique I would have is there was no closet to hang any clothes. Other than that the property was great.
