This was my second time staying here, and it was absolutely perfect again. It is an incredible vintage time capsule but with 21st century HVAC and wifi. I spent half my stay sharing photos of all the fun and fascinating ranch house design elements and decor. Highly recommend this property for relaxation, bird watching, and peace and quiet.

Location questionable

Home was very Texas quaint. Had to drive through dilapidated trailer park which is on 4 acre property. Dogs ended up with fleas…many deer and squirrels. Can hear highway from outside, quiet inside. One key opens deadlock from inside and outside. Owner has alarm system.

Lovely Getaway

We loved our relaxing getaway at this lovely little home that was built by the owner's grandparents. We would definitely stay again! It was cute and quaint, and I could almost imagine my grandmother bringing out cookies as we lounged andwatched the birds.

Quiet Cabin with Character

I chose this cabin because it looked like a fun, quirky spot. This was exactly what we had hoped. The cabin has character and is very cozy. The location is quiet without being too isolated, which is exactly what we wanted.I recommend this property. The check is was easy, though it might be hard to find the turn for the cabin late at night. This is prefect for a relaxing getaway. We did have one issue with fleas while there, which was unfortunate. The host was responsive, and while nothing could be done right away, I appreciated the quick response. Hopefully this issue gets solved for the future and the property can be as wonderful as it can be for future visitors.

Exceeded Expectations

This cabin is amazing - the perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. It was like a time machine back to the 1950s but with super fast WiFi and powerful air conditioning! Loved seeing deer and wild birds right out the window. Secluded and peaceful but so close to town. Would absolutely stay here again.

Very clean, prompt host, great property

I have nothing but good things to write about this rental. Stayed here for a few days in early Nov. 1.The house was SO CLEAN. Plenty of towels and linens available. Bathrooms, kitchen, etc had been cleaned thoroughly before our arrival. 2. The host was prompt and timely in responses for the few questions I had. Wifi was fast and reliable. 3. It’s an older house with a great deal of charm and character. The house heated fast & well even with temps into the 50s. 4. We were able to cook and use all facilities as needed. Basic supply of kitchen utensils to use. 5. a nice perk of the trip was the deer and wildlife we could observe from inside the house or on the porch.

Cabin

We stayed 6 weeks in our B & B. We were comfortable and stress free. Everyday we went to the different restaurants in the area and went site seeing in the area. Our owner of the cabin has suggestions for site seeing. Enjoyed going to surrounding towns to see what each town had to offer. Overall, our stay was great and we would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a B & B in the area.

Close to everything in Bandera yet quiet and private

This small house is great for family and the dog too. It is in the country; we saw deer out the window every day. Yet close drive to downtown so close to everything there is to do in Bandera, including horseback riding. Small but fully stocked kitchen, and high speed internet and cable TV. So all the comforts of the city plus the peace and quiet, and big yard / property to enjoy.
