About this property

Carriage Inn Tarpley Suite · Private Stair Entry

The Tarpley Suite sits at the top of its own private stairway at the Carriage Inn, in downtown Bandera, right across the alley from the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. Main Street, the river park and the historic district are an easy walk; at Christmas, so are the light displays.



It is set up for living in, not just sleeping in: a full kitchen with an oven and stove, a fridge, a microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker, a dining table, air conditioning and heat, Wi-Fi and satellite TV, a queen bedroom and a full bath with a tub and shower. Linens, a hair dryer and an ironing board are provided. Cowboy-era antiques keep it in step with the rest of the inn.



The backyard is shared with the inn's other guests, with a charcoal barbecue pit, a large outdoor fireplace, a fire pit, string lights and plenty of tables and chairs. Out front, the shaded porch has Adirondack chairs, a porch swing and a view of the old Wild West carriage the inn is named for. Covered parking for the inn rooms is first come, first served, with street parking nearby.



Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

Of all the Carriage suites, Tarpley is the one people book for longer stays. It has its own private entrance up its own stairway, so it feels like a small apartment of your own in town, not a room at an inn.

— Spencer and Jess, Backroads Hill Country



SLEEPING

Bedroom: queen bed

One full bathroom with tub and shower



GOOD TO KNOW

The Tarpley Suite is upstairs, reached by its own stairway.

The Carriage Inn sits directly behind the 11th Street Cowboy Bar, so live music can carry late into the night.

Your suite is entirely private; only the backyard and fire pit are shared with other inn guests.

The primary renter must be 18 or older.

One small, well-behaved dog is welcome; any pet fee is shown when you book.

The Carriage Inn has five suites and a separate cottage, so a bigger group can book more than one, or the whole inn for up to 25.

Check-in is 3 PM and check-out is 11 AM.

Location for the win! We have a camp house in Medina that we usually stay at for the weekend but have grown tired of driving back and forth. Communication was really good.

Perfect Bandara Location

We loved the location. We could walk to the Bandera River park. It was Christmas time so we walked through the light display. We loved being able to walk to the historic district for shopping, food and bars. We would've loved to have had a fire in the backyard but it was cold and very windy the night we planned to do it. Spending time in the backyard would've been a perfect activity. We brought our dog and there was plenty of places to walk her. During the day we hiked the 3 area state parks.
