We had a very nice stay for our time here. Only down side was rocky drive way and motorcycles don't mix, one of us went down in the drive way but every thing is ok. Minor scratches and a little embarrassed is all. The room was excellent and the price was very good as well. Also, the name has changed, I put in an edit to maps so should be getting changed soon.
Lovely cabins just outside town (quiet). Beautiful furnishings. Kitchenette with small fridge, microwave, sink, Keurig and some dishes and cups. I would have given four stars but was never able to connect to the internet and the owner never followed up (she was only available by text). Also, smoke detector is missing. But the shower was nice and hot, with good pressure.
This is probably the 2nd Google review I've ever left, but this place needed it. These cabins are beautiful and make you feel at home. They're extremely clean and very peaceful. The view is amazing. Stacy is also just as kind as can be and makes you feel so welcome. This will be our new place to stay when visiting Bandera.
Humongous Heart We actually ended up here by mistake, thinking we were headed to the Wander Inn "Thelma’s Garage" between Austin and Houston. We turned up looking completely lost and asking for the "Thelma and Louise" room, but the host was incredibly gracious. At first, everyone was a bit confused, but once we worked out the mix-up, she immediately found us a wonderful cabin. She even scrupulously cleaned it for us while we went to dinner at The Forge nearby, a fabulous friendly restaurant recommendation in town. The room itself was a dream; the high ceilings make the space feel incredibly fresh and airy, and we loved the charming Cowboy and Indian theme that captures the spirit of Bandera. While we were originally disappointed to miss our planned stop, this ended up being a highlight of our road trip. If you can imagine the friendliest, best version of Texas, this place is better. It is comfortable, clean, cozy, and possesses a humongous amount of heart. It was the best mistake we made and turned our road trip into a truly delightful adventure. I’m honestly grateful I can’t read Google Maps!
Sweet & affordable! Clean & convenient to downtown yet off the beaten path. Easy to reserve. Having great time in our own little cabin!
It's absolutely beautiful and peaceful and quiet it's amazing I love it here
My husband and I enjoyed the large cabin with two queen beds. Wanda is a lovely woman that gave us homemade peach jam with fresh bread, butter, and oj. The cabin had fresh linens and all the comforts of home. It was quiet yet close to town if you needed anything. We will definitely be back!
Second time here FIRST time with new owner. It’s a cabin it’s rustic but don’t let that fool you. We got lucky and the last renter just checked out but the owner cleaned and made ready the cabin quick for our 2 day stay. Most stuff you need is supplied and she even broke out a brand new Keurig coffee maker with Folgers coffee. I nice fresh jar of local honey too Pretty Close to Bandera but not right in town is always perfect for us.
