Lockhart holds the distinction of being the BBQ capital of Texas. It also happens to be one of the cutest and most charming little towns in the State. While the legendary BBQ restaurants are not to be missed, this little town has so much more to offer than just smoked meats. If you are looking to explore, take a short walk to the original downtown, Lockhart. With our stunning courthouse dating back to the 1890's at its center, it really is a quintessential small town square, rich in history and ripe with modern amenities such as restaurants, bars and even a little market! Despite its outward appearance of a sleepy little Texas town, Lockhart punches above its weight-class when it comes to festivals and events. From First Friday's, Sip n' Strolls, Court House Nights, to the annual Texas Monthly BBQ Fest there's always something to do in our little town!
One of the nice things about the Copper Cottage is you are only about 1/2 mile from the center of downtown Lockhart. So, once you are here, you really don't need your car. However, if you are looking to explore the Hill Country and beyond, Lockhart's central location provides endless opportunities:
- 40 min drive to Austin
- 1 hour drive to San Antonio
- 2.5 hour drive to Houston
- 3 hour drive to Dallas
