The San Antonio & Hill Country → Burnet corridor
The drive from San Antonio to Burnet is a straight shot up US-281 North, and it's one of the most familiar lanes our crews run. From the north side of San Antonio the highway climbs out of the city through Bulverde and Spring Branch, crosses into the heart of the Hill Country past Blanco and its state park, then rolls through Johnson City — LBJ country — before dropping toward the Highland Lakes. You pass Round Mountain, cross the Colorado River at Lake Marble Falls beneath the pink dome of Granite Mountain, and roll into Burnet where US-281 meets SH-29. Start to finish it's roughly 110 miles and about two hours of driving through limestone ridges, granite outcrops, and — in spring — miles of bluebonnets lining the shoulders.
Because Burnet sits squarely inside our regular Texas operating radius, this is no exotic long-haul for us; it's a route the same San Antonio and Hill Country crew runs door to door on our own truck. No interlining, no broker handoff, no swapping your belongings onto a stranger's trailer at some terminal. The team that pads, wraps, and loads your furniture in San Antonio is the team that carries it up 281 and unloads it in Burnet — which keeps scheduling fast and keeps accountability with one company from the first box to the last.

About Burnet, TX
Burnet — the county seat and the officially designated "Bluebonnet Capital of Texas" — anchors the northern Highland Lakes about two hours up the road from San Antonio. Life still revolves around the Historic Downtown Square, where the limestone courthouse, Fort Croghan's pioneer grounds, and Wedding Oak Winery share blocks of older homes shaded by mature pecans and live oaks. Those square-adjacent streets are narrow, tree-lined, and short on driveways, so our movers plan truck staging in advance and, when a block is tight, run a smaller shuttle to reach the front door without blocking a lane.
On the growing edges of town the picture flips. Delaware Springs wraps its newer streets around the city's Delaware Springs Golf Course with wide roads, three-car garages, and HOA move-in rules worth confirming before the day; established neighborhoods like Council Creek Village and Spring Creek Hills sit on gentle Hill Country grades; and out west toward Inks Lake and the Colorado River, Hoover Valley acreage brings caliche driveways, cattle guards, and the occasional low-water crossing that decide whether the big truck backs in or we shuttle the last stretch. Ranch at Delaware Creek and Burnet Oaks Estates round out the family subdivisions filling in between the square and the lakes.
Compared with San Antonio, Burnet trades city convenience for space, quiet, and water. Households routinely land more lot, more garage, and often real acreage for what a tighter San Antonio floor plan cost them — plus lake weekends and a walkable courthouse square in place of a cross-metro commute. The local economy leans on Ascension Seton Highland Lakes hospital, Burnet CISD, county government, and a steady Highland Lakes recreation trade: Inks Lake, Lake Buchanan, Longhorn Cavern, and Spider Mountain's lift-served bike park are the very things that draw people up 281 in the first place.

How a San Antonio-area to Burnet move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Burnet move
Burnet sits in Central Texas Hill Country, which means hot summers and mild, short winters. July and August routinely push the mid-90s and cross 100 degrees, so a mid-summer move calls for early starts, plenty of water, and clean, padded, blanket-wrapped protection for furniture and electronics — our trucks are not climate-controlled, so we schedule around the cooler morning hours and pack accordingly. Spring is beautiful but arrives with bluebonnet-season traffic on US-281 and the occasional strong thunderstorm; the Hill Country's low-water crossings can flood fast in a hard rain. Winters are generally easy, with only a handful of freezes and rare ice. The most forgiving windows to move are usually October and November, or March into early April, when the days are mild and dry and the highway is at its calmest.

How long does a move from San Antonio to Burnet take? expand_more
It's about 110 miles straight up US-281 North — roughly two hours of driving — so the vast majority of San Antonio to Burnet moves are completed in a single day, door to door. The same crew that loads in San Antonio is the crew that unloads in Burnet.
Do you also handle moves from Boerne, Kerrville, and Fredericksburg to Burnet? expand_more
Yes. Those Hill Country towns share this same corridor into Burnet, and as an owner-operated company based in Boerne and Kerrville we run the lane constantly. A Boerne-to-Burnet or Kerrville-to-Burnet move is handled by the same team, connecting over to US-281 or SH-29 — no separate routing headaches.
Is this move handed off to a broker or another carrier? expand_more
No. RiverHills runs San Antonio to Burnet on our own truck with our own crew — no interlining, no broker middleman, no transferring your belongings to a stranger's trailer partway. One owner-operated, licensed and insured company is responsible from load to unload, and our own household-goods authority backs interstate moves as well.
Can you deliver to rural acreage or a lake home outside Burnet? expand_more
Absolutely. We regularly reach properties out in Hoover Valley, around Inks Lake, and on Lake Buchanan. Just share driveway length and surface, gate codes, and any tight turns or low-water crossings ahead of time so we can bring the right equipment or shuttle the final leg.
