Great little cabin!

This property was described well. Beds are comfortable and cabin has everything you need. You can walk or drive to the river. The river is beautiful. Bandera is a cute little town with cute shops and good food.

Just Beautiful ❤️

Our first time ever in Bandera. We went for our annual birthday party bash for the thin blue line motorcycle club. The home is right off the medina river, the different types of deer, hummingbirds, the singing of the birds. Seating on the patio in the mornings with our friends drinking coffee and enjoying the outdoors. The owner called to check in with me and to give us some pointers on where to go and eat. She was very pleasant to speak to. Spencer Forrest Backroads Reservations was very attentive to my needs and answered all my questions. I definitely will book again for next year 2022 Birthday Bash!!! Thanks for the beautiful nature and home.

Great spot for fun with friends and kids

We chose this property because it was both large enough for our group of 10, and out of town. I highly recommend it if you're looking for a quiet spot to reconnect with family or friends. The cabin is as cute in person as it looks in the photos. The original structure is a lovely little antique cottage with a stone fireplace. The addition wraps around two sides of the cottage and makes it an appropriate space for a larger number of people. The kitchen is in the original area and it looks small in the photos, but we were able to bake, cook meals for 10, and clean up after with no problems at all, so don't let that worry you. Obviously, the back path to the river is the main attraction, and we spent a lot of our time outdoors. If we were there for a longer stay, there are a lot of things I would have liked to check out in the nearby towns. Since we were only there for a weekend, we will have to leave it at wanting to come back soon!

Cabin with a family feel

The cabin started much smaller than it is now. It had a cute living room with a kitchen, 2 bedrooms and a bathroom. They added a huge living /dining space. It is nicely furnished and comfortable and was great for our small family of 4. It would easily accommodate a larger group. The beds were comfortable and everything was clean - very appreciated in these Covid times. The kitchen was well equipped, though some of the pots and pans were old as you would expect. The coffee pot marked "regular" didn't work but there was another to use that was fine. The property managers were responsive so I'd bet they have that replaced by now. Outside there were plenty of comfortable chairs and tables to hang out, play games and eat at. There are lots of trees so there was good shade. To get to the river you walk out back, down a small hill and across a small field. (Drive down if you need.) You can go straight through some bushes and hit the river - there is a bank you can climb down - or head to the left or right and find easy access. We explored up and down the river both in the water and on the banks. The water went from ankle deep to waist deep, very clear water. The night sky was wonderful. We saw several deer and plenty of birds, some fish. There are no cabins right by the river or on the other side so you felt you had plenty of space to play. There is a cabin close to this one on one side of the property but everything is situated so that you have privacy. There is nothing near on the other side. It was a quick drive into Bandera. We enjoyed the shops and restaurants there. The cabin is not a fancy place but an old family get away. Cozy feeling and comfy. We would definitely go back.

weekend by the River

It was a fun weekend getaway for us. Casual and cute cabin, well situated and rustic views, lots of deer. The kids loved walking through the short pasture to the river which was lovely and cool, and we saw hardly a soul.
