The property was just lovely and perfect for me, my son, and our two little dogs. I appreciated all the little personal touches, you can tell time, love, and care went into making it a home away from home. And the beds were SO comfortable! We will definitely be booking this next year when we come.

We had the best time at this cottage in Bandera. It was perfect for the weekend while we picked our kids up from Camp OTX. Colleen has decorated the cabin so beautifully and made us really feel at home. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

The cabin was exactly what we needed. Very clean and comfortable. Nice little fenced in yard just right for our little fur-baby (she’s an old gal). Parking was right next to the fence so no worries about your vehicle. Nice and cool inside when we arrived (thank you Colleen). We will look to stay here again on our next visit.

What an amazing little place. Left after work on Friday and showed up about 10:30 pm. Due to weather I trailered the motorcycle down, ample place for parking. Owner actually greeted me, they live nearby but I never felt imposed on. Offered to let me park the motorcycle behind the gate. Inside furnishings were super well done, everything was comfortable and cozy. Internet worked so well I’m tempted to come back during the week and work remotely. Highly recommend!
