Hill Country Mirage · Farmhouse & Catfish Pond

Hill Country Mirage sits on 35 acres near Bandera, with mountain views on every side and deer on the land. The property has a large chicken coop and plenty of spots for watching wildlife.



The farmhouse dates to the early 1900s and has been restored and modernized. The living and dining areas are spacious, and the kitchen is fully equipped, with an oven, a stove, a dishwasher, a microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker. There are three bedrooms and two full baths with showers: a king suite with its own bath, a queen room, and a bunk room with four single beds. Central air and heat, ceiling fans, satellite TV, Wi-Fi and a washer and dryer are all here.



Outside are front and back porches, a gazebo with rolling shade, a Weber charcoal grill and a private outdoor shower. The pond is stocked with catfish and has a solid dock for fishing and swimming, and a canoe with paddles is provided. Kids have a tire swing and a treehouse.



A separate bar area has a fridge, a sink, a card table and a TV, with a collection of koozies from the owner's travels. Two RV hookups with 50-amp power, water and septic are available for an added fee if you ask when booking.



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

When guests ask what we like about Hill Country Mirage, we start with the pond. It is stocked with catfish and has a solid dock, and a canoe and paddles come with the house. The farmhouse dates to the early 1900s and has been restored, so it has some age to it. For kids there is a tire swing, a treehouse and a room with two sets of bunk beds.

The property is great. There is a lot of work going on but not in the way. The farm house is cute and the pond was AMAZING! The kids favorite spot was the pond. The oven was dirty and I had to clean it before using it because it kept smoking up. As a family, we are not dog people BUT we fell in love with the two dogs on the property! The only other negative thing was the huge wasps. They were everywhere and kept getting in the house. A couple of us are severely allergic so it did cause some anxiety. I think we killed at least 8 while there as they were bad.
