Our stay was really great! The cabin was so cute and charming, we really enjoyed staying there. It's in a great location; secluded feel but a short drive in to town. I will point out that you can see neighbors, I did think it would be a bit more secluded than it was, but we had minimal contact so it wasn't an issue for us. AC and all the facilities work great, no issues there. We had a great stay.

The VRBO was perfect for our trip. It is a beautiful home that was the cherry on our trip. It is only a few minutes from Bandara, but it feels like you are in the middle of nowhere. The host is very responsive, and his instructions were spot on. I am definitely thinking of a second booking.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
