The Wayback is a casual boutique hotel 15 minutes west of downtown. Our style here is friendly, comfortable and classic. Surrounded by hills and a big Texas sky, The Wayback is a place to feel the breeze, be carefree and linger.

The Wayback property features:
-eight board and batten cottages furnished with a mix of classics and a fresh touch. Cottages sleep 1-4 people. For travelers or an in-town getaway, the cottages are intimate, comfortable and lovely.
-a cafe that serves traditional food using the best ingredients available. The cafe is open to the public for breakfast, lunch, dinner and happy hour Tuesday through Sunday.
-a combination drink/pool cabana as the spot to get a picnic lunch or drink. Ask for a picnic blanket and look for a casual spot on the lawn.
