Dropping my daughter at camp in Hunt and we’re staying in Fredericksburg for two days at the start then the last two days in Austin.
I need a place to go between those for two days?
Canyon Lake, New Braunfels, San Marcos?
It’ll be 4 adults. Looking to chill and drink and eat?
Thanks.

I would say Gruene or Lake Travis

If you want a real isolated hill country experience, I recommend Leakey, Concan, Utopia area.
If more interested in eating, town life and being around people then Gruene or Wimberly.

Not in between but nearby would be Kerrville/ Bandera.

Lake Travis looks promising. Is it mostly college kids being so close to Austin?

OST restaurant in Bandera. Sit at the bar in a saddle! Breakfast is pretty good.

Austin isn't like College Station. This is a mega metro area that has a large college in it. CS is a college town with a large college in it.
To answer your question, no it is not mostly college kids.

Lake Travis has gotta be one of the most expensive lakes outside of CA, so any college kids that are there are either only there for the day or with their parents. The lake is gorgeous though. I'd rent a little boat from one of the marinas and go explore.

They're all so close to each other - you could do all of them.
Gruene Hall is the oldest dance hall in Texas and has the Gristmill restaurant.
NB is a decent little town.
San Marcos might have more options for a hotel and bars. Hit Cheatham Street Warehouse...Randy Rogers' bar.

Do you seriously need a place to stay between Fredericksburg and Austin?
They're only an hour and 45 mins away...
I'd definitely stop at Enchanted Rock off of TX 965 and hike there for a day or half day.

I mean there’s two days where I have nowhere to sleep. Trying to find something to do.

Either Gruene (music / river) or Barton Creek cc (golf / spa) or stay on south congress for music food. San Jose Hotel or Kimber modem if south congress

Everything between Fredericksburg and Austin is going to be really small. 2 nights in any one stop is 1 night too many. And Lake Travis is great during the day but boring as hell at night.
San Antonio isn't far and there's a lot better places to stay, things to do, food to eat, etc. Hit up a couple small towns on your way.
Austin is only about 75 mins depending on traffic when it's time to head that way. Again, you could make some stops at New Braunfels & San Marcos (college town).

You could stop for a beer at Luckenbach, Texas about 25 minutes from Fredericksburg as you head to Austin

Nightlife is nonexistent in these hill country towns and food is mostly mediocre. GRUENE is fun for music for a night and San Marcos has some crappy, student level bars and restaurants. If you are wanting to eat and drink I would just go into austin where the options are many.

I don't think anyone has suggested Wimberley - pleasant community, a couple of nice restaurants and outdoor activities nearby.
