But it's very close to the hill country and lakes, so there's a lot of recreational activities within about 45 minutes. Georgetown is a cool historic city, too, and retirees love hanging out in the galleries, restaurants, etc. Regarding the weather, yeah, it can get cold and nasty, but there can also be a lot of super nice days during the winter. It's all relative, I guess.
