While Texas Stagecoach Inn offers all Pastors Retreat Network programs, the solitude of the Hill Country is especially conducive to contemplative retreats such as the Sinai Experience and the Bethany Retreat. Located near Lost Maples State Natural Area and in the heart of ranch country where opportunities for hiking and observing nature abound, it is the perfect place to discover God in the magnificence of His creation.

The 90-minute drive from San Antonio leads northwest from the bustling city through the picturesque winding roads of the Hill Country. Gradually one loses contact with the outside world as cell phone reception dims and around each curve is another spectacular view.

The vast openness of the terrain and the shifting light as you round each turn brings new perspective and tranquility.

In the spring, it might be fields of bluebonnets, in the autumn the red blaze of maples preparing for winter. In the summer, the heat shimmers off the roads, cactus shares the fields with grasses, and wildlife abounds. The rivers run clear and the stars are bright in this Texas paradise.

You will pass through Pipe Creek and Medina, small communities that have struggled for years to build a life in this gravelly land. You’ll meet these friendly, generous and forthright individuals should you venture into town.

For those willing to drive a bit further, there is antiquing in Fredericksburg, the Cowboy Artists Museum in Kerrville and many beautiful natural areas to explore and enjoy.
