Your Hill Country Hideaway Needs a Guest Solution
Family announces they're visiting from out of state to see the wildflowers. Your Spanish Oaks home has stunning views but that dedicated guest room sits empty 350 days a year—prime real estate in a house where every square foot was expensive.
The real cost of waiting: Without a murphy bed, you're either paying to heat and cool a rarely-used bedroom or scrambling to set up an air mattress that insults visiting relatives.

Questions to ask Bee Caves contractors
Use these to separate experienced local pros from generalists who don't know the area.
- 1 Have you installed murphy beds in limestone-walled Hill Country homes before?
- 2 Can you provide cabinet samples that match my existing wood finishes?

Schedule installation during fall or spring when Hill Country weather is mild—summer heat can make working in non-climate-controlled spaces challenging for precise cabinetry work.

Integrated Murphy Beds questions from Bee Caves homeowners
Frequently asked questions
Will a murphy bed work in my stone-walled Bee Caves home?
Yes, but it requires proper masonry anchors rather than standard wood-stud mounting. Experienced Hill Country installers use expansion bolts rated for limestone, ensuring the unit is safe and stable.
Can I match the murphy bed cabinet to my existing built-ins?
Absolutely. Local craftsmen regularly work with Spanish Oaks and Falconhead homeowners to match cabinet stains, wood species, and hardware to existing millwork for a seamless look.
How do I handle HOA approval for a murphy bed installation?
Murphy beds are interior modifications, so most Bee Caves HOAs don't require approval. However, if you're converting a room's designated use (like a bedroom to office), check your CC&Rs first.
