More Information About Comfort, Texas, and Comfort’s Historic School House:

Comfort, Texas, is a town full of history (See Article on Comfort, Texas). It is often referred to as an “Antique Town” … not just because of the antiques that are sold here but also because it’s been around so long. The School House is located at the edge of our property on Mill Dam Road (a paved, County Road) about 3 miles outside of town. On the other side of the fence is a 1,000 Acre Ranch which gives it a “wide, open, country feel.” Some have said that there is a “no care in the world” feeling here. Definitely quiet and peaceful, except maybe the sound a cow or donkey on one of the distant ranches. The name we coined for our property is, Ranchito de la Paz (the Little Ranch of Peace).

We acquired the School House in 2008 and renovated the interior in such a way as to reflect the period that it was originally constructed. The wood floors are original. The ceilings are lined with reclaimed bead board that came out of an old home in Blanco (originally milled in the early 1900’s). The doors and windows are trimmed with tight grain pine originally from the old Alamo Cement Factor which is the current home of the Quarry Shopping Center in San Antonio. The doors (on either side of the School House) came out of an old Catholic School in Gonzales, Texas. It has the feeling of an old building, but with all of the modern conveniences that give us the comfort we expect in a B&B.

From the back of the School House, there is a clear view of the afternoon sky and you will want to be sure and work your schedule to be at the School House to watch the sun set. Nearly every day, there is something spectacular to enjoy.

For more sunset pictures from this location and/or to contact Mike Witte to photograph your special event, Click Here.

Upon arrival (beginning at 3:00 p.m.) you will be greeted with a complimentary bottle of our own wine, “Old School Chardonnay” which we recently bottled in celebration of the Hill Country Wineries close by.

The closest is Singing Waters Vineyard, which is only about one-half a mile away from the School House. Since we are so close to the winery, you will want to be sure and visit the winery while you stay at the School House. Check out their website for their hours of operation. It’s a real fun place to visit and Dick and Julie Holmberg, the owners, are some of the friendliest people around. Orange Juice, coffee (for the coffee pot) and some fresh fruit and yogurt are supplied for your morning enjoyment. There is a small refrigerator, so feel free to bring any other items you might need. Check out is either at 11:00 a.m. for single night visitors or 5:00 for full weekend visitors. For other things to do while staying in Comfort, check out the Categories, “Local Events” and “Places to Go & Things to Do“. As for the history of the School House:

The School House was built for the black school children of Comfort prior to World War II. (Comfort was not especially prejudiced; it was just the way things were back then.)
Originally located on the Stokes Family property on 5th Street in Comfort (close to the water tower in Comfort), student population ranged from 8 students to 17. Ages ranged from 6 to 16 years.
The first teacher received a salary of $136 for 3 months in 1932 (that’s the equivalent of $693.41 per month in today’s dollars*). Despite the low pay, she stayed and taught the children for many years.
Tuition fees in 1936 were set at $1.50 per month per student (equivalent to $22.95 in 08′ dollars).*
The school closed in 1942 due to WWII (lack of interest, money, and students).

The Cabin on Verde Creek - Hill Country Vacation Rental

October 24th, 2008 categories: B&B's & Vacation Rentals

THE CABIN ON VERDE CREEK
Overnights - Weekends - Vacations

“Experience tranquility in the Hill Country”

156 VERDE PARK DRIVE
CENTER POINT, TEXAS

Come see us soon!

Center Point, Texas (for article on Center Point, Click Here) is, in our opinion, one of the Hill Country’s “hidden treasures.”

Set under a canopy of cypress trees and facing Verde Creek (it truly looks green), this little cabin is truly a place of “peace and tranquility.” You’ll spend most of your time sitting on the back porch taking in the beauty of the creek. There always seems to be a breeze blowing through which provides a breath of freshness to your being. The trees are majestic. We call the largest one down by the creek, “The Tree of Life” as it is huge with a perfect canopy and several of the others look as though they are bowing toward it. For the nature lover, you will find a little oasis to enjoy.

The cabin is decorated with a rustic flavor filled with comfortable furnishings and eclectic antiques. The kitchen is fully supplied … Everything is in place for you to prepare your own meals. We might suggest a Spaghetti Dinner or even Steak & Potato Dinner (Stove and Oven are provided). Great for either a romantic weekend, a writer’s weekend or even a Girl’s Weekend (shopping and fun are closeby). Everything’s in place for your weekend retreat! We’d love to see you soon. Julie & Buddy Brooks, Proprietors
