Will Come Back
This is an adorable collection of 11 cabins -- All seem to be decorated and equipped differently, but ours was so nice inside: rustic and comfortable. Bedding was great, linens were nice, kitchen was well-equipped and the location was perfect! We were only there one night, but the central use area would have been fun, especially for multi-family or multi-friend groups. So Recommend It. (and it cost less than near-by hotel!)

Rumble on the River
It was a little two bed cottage, perfect for my needs. I was there for the Rumble on the River bike rally. After riding I could just come back and relax. I had neighbors on both sides very friendly.

Great - but oooh those patio chairs
Great country motel cabins. Clean & comfortable. One block walk to best part of town or the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. But those patio chairs need to go. Us old guys can barely get out of them - almost have to call the office for assistance.

This was the perfect quiet rural getaway for my wife and I! During the stay, we were treated to local cuisines, crafts, history, and wildlife. Deer actually walked by our cabin along with ducks eating deer corn right next to me on our front porch! Very awesome relaxing environment! Bring bug spray of course!

Quaint and Rustic
Only complaint was that toilet too close to the wall. Very quaint rustic motif and comfortable beds. Nice outside view with roaming ducks. Chairs could be a bit wider and Roku TV needed a reset as it was not responsive. Great location and friendly staff.

Best little stay in Bandera
Wow wow! This place is amazing. From the staff, cute little cabins, amenities to make you feel like you are camping out, this is the place to go! Extra special- we were celebrating a birthday and Mother’s Day and received a hugely thoughtful gift from the staff! Thank you for making our first stay, the best stay!
