In the current century, the property is home to Camp Comfort \u2014 a relaxed, rustic, and rural boutique hotel that\u2019s ideal for the current moment.<\/em><\/h4>\n<p>It\u2019s all too easy to see Texas as a monolith, a vast chunk of the American South, with Austin the oft-noted cultural exception. But nearly a hundred miles west of the capital, the tiny, unincorporated town of Comfort stands out just as much, itself set in a Hill Country region beloved for unexpected features like high-quality wineries and \u2014 in a <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2008\/06\/01\/travel\/01places.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">phrase<\/a> that could shock you if your Lone Star vision is all cowboy hats and cattle \u2014 rolling hills \u201cevocative of Tuscany or the south of France.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But in the 3,000-strong town of Comfort, it\u2019s the German history that pops the most. If you really want to understand this place, you need to go back to the early 1840s \u2014 in Germany \u2014 when a society of nobles sought to create no less than a \u201cnew Germany on Texas soil.\u201d Needless to say, there is no German state in Texas. And yet, over the next decade more than 7,000 Germans did arrive, seeking the promise of two concepts still associated with Texas: \u201cgreat personal liberty\u201d and \u201cplentiful productive land.\u201d Many settled in the Hill Country, and the strong German community that ensued has made this region, and Comfort in particular, an extremely distinct vintage of Texas.<\/p>\n<p>At <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/comfort-hotels\/camp-comfort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Camp Comfort<\/a>, one of our favorite boutique hotels in the entire state, the connection to this history is in its very foundation. Dating to 1870, it\u2019s on the site \u2014 and in the buildings \u2014 of a former <em>turn verein<\/em>. In essence, a German athletic club.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/AlleyOutside.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">A historic building repurposed by Camp Comfort \u2014 the turn verein and attached two-lane bowling alley now make up a social hall and four &#8220;Alley Suites.&#8221;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The first German settlers of Comfort wasted no time organizing their prized club. Founded just a handful of years after the town itself, they needed it not just to \u201cfulfill a need for physical fitness,\u201d as Camp Comfort owner Lisa Kelleher explains, but, crucially, for a sense of community among new immigrants in a strange land.<\/p>\n<p>If you think that Austin stands out politically from the rest of Texas today, consider Comfort in the 1860s. The town, founded by German freethinkers, freemasons, political activists, and liberals, became a bloody flashpoint for Union sympathizers in a state deep within the Confederacy. Go today and you\u2019ll find the oldest Civil War Monument in Texas, honoring some 40 locals who perished at the hands of the rebels as they rushed through enemy territory to join Union forces.<\/p>\n<p>Fittingly, the Turn Verein Movement was not without a hint of these associated politics. While each turn verein served as a center for gymnastics and athletics, the American Turners \u2014 <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tshaonline.org\/handbook\/entries\/turnverein-movement\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">as a society<\/a> \u2014 also \u201cespoused a variety of controversial causes such as abolition and socialism.\u201d Visit today and it\u2019s with all this context in mind that you can imagine a group of Union-supporting Germans, deep in the aftermath of the Confederacy, defiantly building their clubhouse.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/BunkieOutside.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/Van.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Two cabins at Camp Comfort and the hotel van.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Lisa Kelleher and her husband, Mike, took over the property in 2018. But they weren\u2019t the first hoteliers it seduced. Years earlier, another Lisa \u2014 Lisa Jenkins \u2014 and her husband, Phil, bought the space. Although they first operated it as a bar, they soon sensed the location\u2019s perfect fit for an outdoorsy, campus-like bed and breakfast. They set about transforming it by hand. As the current owners will happily confess, much of the style at <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.tablethotels.com\/en\/comfort-hotels\/camp-comfort\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Camp Comfort<\/a> today owes itself to the \u201ccreative genius\u201d of Lisa Jenkins and her \u201cmaster craftsman\u201d husband.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe has incredible vision,\u201d Phil told a <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/tribeza.com\/take-comfort\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">local Austin magazine<\/a> about his wife. \u201cAll I do is try to build what she sees.\u201d What she often saw was a stylish take on a camping experience, with chandeliers made from \u201cwire and glass bottles, an homage to shuttlecocks and camp sports\u201d and, as another reviewer <a style=\"text-decoration: underline;\" href=\"https:\/\/texashighways.com\/things-to-do\/camping-lodging\/camp-comfort-provides-an-antidote-to-life-s-stressful-moments-with-pizza-bicycling-and-wine-nearby\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">gushed<\/a>, metal reading lights that bring to mind something \u201cyou\u2019d find at a 1940s campground.\u201d Fire pits that pepper the courtyard, and a swimming hole provided by the adjacent Cyprus Creek, only complete the summer-camp-fantasy aesthetic.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/OutsideSpace.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/5.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Plentiful outdoor space and a location along Cypress Creek define the property.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The campus today consists of two historic buildings along with several cabins, an Airstream, and a fully furnished house next door that sleeps eight. Everywhere, as Kelleher describes, the style aims for \u201cvery rustic on the outside and surprisingly chic on the inside,\u201d filled as rooms are with colorful modern furniture and luxuries, like air-jet tubs, that put the Comfort in the name. As for the historical buildings, one is the original turn verein \u2014 a large space that serves as the social hall, popular for weddings and private events but open too for guests to sit and, well, be social. The other is the former two-lane bowling alley, an addition to the original turn verein dating to 1910.<\/p>\n<p>Indeed, in addition to bringing then-controversial concepts to Texas like abolition, the Turn Verein Movement also gifted more whimsical ones. Among them: nine-pin bowling. When the Jenkins finished their renovations, king beds and kitchens sat within four comfortable and appropriately-named \u201cAlley Suites.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/AlleyKing.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn1.tablethotels.com\/media\/ecs\/global\/magazine\/story-images\/20200919\/3.jpg\" alt=\"Camp Comfort\" width=\"970\" height=\"auto\" border=\"0\" data-gae=\"Magazine, Clicked, Image\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The &#8220;Alley Suites&#8221; and their colorful, modern interiors with camp-style lighting fixtures.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The German legacy is everywhere to be found in Comfort, not least in the residents themselves \u2014 many of whom are the founders\u2019 original descendants. Nearly a hundred historical buildings pepper the area, and the town center, some four blocks of gorgeous limestone structures, hosts several buildings preserved in the National Register of Historic Places.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the three wineries in Comfort (and the must-visit Comfort Pizza) represent the less-historical developments in modern Hill Country.
