About this property

Texas Blue Apple | Pet-Friendly & Near Apple Store

🐾 Pet Friendly | 👥 Sleeps 6 | ⏰ Free Early Check-In (when available) | 📱 Free Hill Country Travel App



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 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.

Quaint location

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.

Loved our 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.

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad you and your wife enjoyed your stay at the Texas Blue Apple Cottage and made the most of the deck and nearby bakery. We appreciate your feedback about the closet, and we'll look into that for future guests. We'd love to welcome you back soon!
