Walk to Medina River: 'Cowboy Cottage' w/ BBQ Pit

Find a comfortable place to hang your hat at this ideally located cottage in Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World. It's a place to experience the rich cowboy heritage of Texas at every turn, whether you're walking down to the Medina River, visiting one of the legendary local dude ranches, or taking in a rodeo at Mansfield Park Arena.

-- THE PROPERTY --

Begin each morning with a mug of coffee on the front porch, and end each evening with dinner prepared in the barbecue pit. In the in-between hours, you can make use of the eat-in kitchen, the comfortable living room, and central air conditioning throughout the house. Leave the day's dusty clothes in the care of the washer/dryer, use the complimentary WiFi to map out tomorrow's adventures, and stream movies late into the night before falling asleep.

-- THE LOCATION --

This single-story home sits near the heart of small-town Bandera, long an important staging area for 19th- and 20th-century cattle drives. Today, you can swim in the sparkling river, stop by the Frontier Times Museum (half a mile), or spend a day exploring Hill Country State Natural Area (12 miles). Motorcycle enthusiasts will love trekking along the 100-mile Twisted Sister trail, one of the best motorcycle roads in the state. Horseback riding, golf cart rentals, and kayaks are all also available with just a phone call, as well as private year-round axis hunts. You're also within walking distance of a plethora of shopping options, restaurants, bars, and the beautiful St. Stanislaus Polish Catholic Church, one of the designated 'Painted Catholic Churches' of Texas.

We had a great time in Bandera. The home was clean and well decorated. Plenty of linens and close to restaurants and bars. The only drawback was entering the house multiple times a day with a 10 digit code.

Our stay was great! Comfortable beds and very clean. We didn’t stay there except to sleep so didn’t use the kitchen. My granddaughter was afraid of the taxidermy at first, but by the end of the stay she was giving them all names. We loved watching the deer all around the neighborhood!

No water in the Medina River crossing. Several blocks from the park where the Medina River ran.

Suzanne, the property owner was very helpful. Beautiful little house. The back bedroom with the full sized bed was a bit out of date. The 3 of us ladies stayed in the 2 queen sized beds. Using the keys to the front door was a bit tricky. Using the code worked better. We all went horseback riding with Outback. Very relaxing weekend.

Great stay

Comfortable home, nice street, clean. Lock could be a little tricky for folks not familiar with the type of deadbolt used, but otherwise fantastic stay.
