Our Anniversary Go - To.

We have been stayed at this property for a total of 4 times. We have stayed here for our anniversary. The location, access and seclusion is what we wanted from a cabin in Bandera. The owners are quick to response to any questions we may have. We will be staying here annually for as long as our health will allow.

Peaceful & Quiet - A Place to Unplug and Recharge

Perfect get away. Quiet but easy access to Bandera and the surrounding activities. The property is great for a couple to unplug and unwind. One note is no wifi. There’s everything else you need. We really enjoyed our stay and the host was easy to contact if any questions arose! Highly recommend!!

3 days to explore area

We wanted a unique experience while exploring Bandera and the area. The cottage was cozy, clean, comfortable and quiet. There were 13 deer in the yard one evening! There were wildflowers and butterflies too. We enjoyed our stay. We wished for Wi-Fi service to plan our day trips and restaurant options. We can recommend the Trailboss restaurant and Don Cheppe’s for Mexican food.

Excellent start/end point!

Just a little over a mile from downtown Bandera with wildlife all around. It was a great jumping off point for our multiple daily motorcycle rides including the Sisters. Lots of parking on paved surfaces. Other home on property is super quiet. Never even saw them. It isn’t 5-star but super comfortable. If you’re tall/big, the shower might be a challenge but it does the trick! The 6’2” hubby got the job done every evening lol! Corn available to put out for the deer. Lots of birds including birds of prey. Small lake behind the house. It was a very relaxing place to end our days!

LAKE HIAWATHA COTTAGE

A very nice and relaxed stay in Bandera. It was a bummer that the lake was dry. We are hoping for some rain for Bandera and the hill country. We really enjoyed hiking in parks and coming home and having a nice dinner at the house and hanging out. Nice wrap around porch.

Hidden gem

It really doesn't get any better than this. Feels like you are miles out in the country, but really only a couple minutes from main street. Beautiful large property with lots of trees. Tons of deer roaming in the morning and evening. Cabin is stocked with everything you would ever need. Owners super nice and responsive. Just a great place to stay in Bandera.

Cute house, lucky to find on short notice

We were lucky to find this house on short notice! This was our 4th get-away stay in Bandera. We enjoyed our stay despite a few issues. It’s a cute house, well appointed, and it sits about 100 feet from the lake. However, during our stay in April the lake was nearly dry. The house location is far enough behind a RV park and tiny subdivision that you hear no other noise from houses. Margaret is a concerned owner; She called us the day before and every day during our stay. Location is peaceful and quiet. Upon throwing corn out on the lawn, you’re steps away from deer grazing in the evening, a delight! PRO’s: cute house w A/C, ADT alarm, complete kitchen, bath with washer and dryer, large bedroom, outside grill w charcoal. Location Peaceful and secluded. Con’s: the house had a musty smell first day especially in front room because all windows were nailed shut. Fridge contained Used food products that needed to be disregarded, toaster required cleaning to be used. Distance from OST, 11st Cowboy Saloon was just under 2 miles away, Grill was filthy, smoke detector was inoperative, new battery for it laptop refrigerator. ADT alarm beaped every time one opened the door. Never found hiking trails described by owner; neighbors indicated they didn’t exist. In future, we would secure a location with Wi-Fi.
