We’re Chris & Stephanie, owners here at The Bygone hotel. With a vision rooted in nostalgia and a love for timeless places, in 2021 we took a leap and bought a roadside motor-lodge. We transformed a place from the past into The Bygone Hotel—a stay that feels like a memory you haven’t made yet. Inspired by connection and summers spent at camp—especially for Steph, who went to camp in Wimberley—we wanted to create a place that captures that same sense of adventure, simplicity, and connection.

The Property

Nestled on 5.5 acres in the Texas Hill Country, The Bygone Hotel blends vintage charm with modern comfort. The property features a hilltop heated pool, a vintage Airstream bar, and a spacious outdoor lawn with seating, all shaded by sprawling live oaks. With open spaces perfect for gathering, unwinding, or catching a sunset.

The VISION

The Bygone Hotel was born from a love of timeless destinations—places designed for connection, celebration, and memorable experiences. We believe in the magic of gathering, whether it’s a wedding under the Texas sky, a milestone birthday, an anniversary celebration, or a long-overdue family reunion. We hope it feels like a place you’ll want to return to, again and again.

The RENOVATION

In 2021, we began a full-scale renovation to breathe new life into The Bygone Hotel. My wife Stephanie leading the vision to blend vintage charm with modern comforts. With the help of a skilled team of designers and craftsmen, we refreshed the guest rooms, pool deck, landscaping, and fire pit area while preserving the character that makes this place special. In 2024, we added the Sky Deck and pool heater. We’ve got even bigger plans in 2025 — stay tuned!
