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.

Lots of character.
The inside of the house was spotlessly clean and had tons of charm. Max was great about communicating. It was a nice quiet place to spend a weekend. The neighborhood around it looked pretty rundown but it was quiet which was appreciated. Overall a unique place to spend a few days near Bandera.
