Located in Downtown Historic District. The Historic use of the Cottage was a Sunday Haus. We are close for Blanco events, shopping, swimming or picnics in the park and walk back to unwind before heading off for more activities or out to eat and enjoy live music.

The space
Historic board & batten Sunday Haus, newly restored. Kitchenette with "ice box" (fridge), Keurig, & microwave. Bath with shower & separate closet. Decorated with family antiques and local art. Futon with 11 inch comfortable mattress and 1.5 inch Therapeudic Memory Foam mattress topper. No TV but has a DVD player and DVDs. Bring your favorite ones with you. Dining table provides space for eating playing cards or doing some computer work. Go

Guest access
The Cottage sits in back of the Kellam House, which is the main house and is accessed from Live Oak Street. Front door leads into a comfortable main room with kitchenette & bath with shower. Adjoining the cottage yard is the back yard for the Main House but can be used to cut across to downtown.

Other things to note
Parallel park on the side street, Live Oak, by the front yard of the Cottage. It was covered in beautiful green St Augustine grass but after so many years of drought and water restrictions you will see a mixture of grass and dirt. One of the favorite reasons to stay at The Sunday Haus Cottage is we are in The Blanco District and within 2 two blocks we have great shops, The OLD Blanco County Courthouse, 7 good restaurants and 1 Coffee House. Most of the eating places have live music inside or on adjoining patios. There is also our beautiful Bindseil Park 1/2 block away which adjoins downtown, The Blanco River and State Park, which is also 1/2 a block away. It is all a beautiful place to walk, picnic and swim.

Neighborhood highlights

Getting away to Blanco is great for people who need some time away from the busy city life. In the cool early mornings you can join the locals on their walk through Roland and Viola Bindseil City Park and continue through the Blanco State Park. You can enjoy some birdwatching or if you bring your fishing gear there have been some 30+ lb catfish caught in Blanco River. You can return in the evenings for (when scheduled), Arts in the Park at Bindseil Park or Stargazing and other activities in the Blanco State Park. The Blanco State Park was constructed in 1933 by the Civilian Conservation Corp (CCC) and has beautiful rock dams, tables and seats and the Clubhouse. My dad, at 18, came to Blanco with the CCCs and was the only one out of 160 boys to meet a girl, fall in love, marry and settle in Blanco to raise his family. Strolling on through downtown you will find several shops, The Pioneer Museum and the Old Blanco County Courthouse which was built in 1885. The courthouse scene for the 2nd True Grit movie was filmed in the courtroom. Market Days happens the 3rd Saturday on the Courthouse lawn but often there are other Saturdays that you see the lawn covered with tents and people selling their wares. There are 5 restaurants and a coffe house in the Downtown Historic District for delicious lunches. Returning for dinner you will enjoy live music at most of the restaurants. Right down the road is the Buggy Barn Museum with 53 historic buggies and carriages from all over the world and a Western Town with Wild West reenactments or gun fights and more. Across the Highway is the Real Ale Brewery to tour and sample some of their current 47 blends at their tasting room. Heading out in the other direction is the original town named Pittsburg, you will find The Historic Cemetery where civil war veterans and Texas Rangers are buried. If you like to do the Texas Two Step or Cotton Eye Joe the Historic Twin Sister Dance Hall, Fischer Store, Albert and Luckenbach Dance Halls are close. A unique experience in the evenings is to watch nine pen bowling teams next door at the Blanco Bowling Alley and Cafe. Nine pin bowling is a German team bowling sport and the competition can get exciting. You will soon be part of the cheering section so bring your ear plugs have dinner and a cold beer. Blanco is one hour from Austin and San Antonio with many historic places in between.
