Your Hosts

Meet Becky Higgins

Becky Higgins is a respected figure in the bed and breakfast world, known for her cooking and her warm, skilled hosting. She and her late husband Sam, celebrated in publications like Bon Appétit and Southern Living, turned this old dairy farm into the Chuckwagon Inn in 2000.

Today Becky carries on that legacy alongside her daughter Hillary, serving made-from-scratch breakfasts and sharing stories with guests from the 1854 stone farmhouse.

Getting Around & Staying Safe

From the inn

Finding Us

From Main Street, take Hwy 16 south toward Kerrville, then turn right at the red light onto FM 2093 (Tivydale Rd). About a mile past the Shell station, stay right where Tivydale curves and look for our rock sign at Windsong and Tivydale.

Traffic watch

Road Tips

Main Street and the 290 wine corridor jam up on weekends and festival days. FM 2093 curves, take it easy at night, and watch for deer on Hill Country roads after dark.

Safety

At the Inn & Outdoors

Some rooms have narrow, steep stairs and doorways not wide enough for wheelchairs, ask us if you have mobility needs. Summer hikes at Enchanted Rock demand early starts, water, and sun protection. No smoking anywhere on the property.
