Great Location
Great scenic views as you drive through the neiborhood. Wildlife roaming freely along the river. Hummingbirds were great to sit and watch flying around the feeder.

Unique little gem in Bandera!
What a cool place to stay at during our time in Bandera! We spent a good chunk of time at the Hill Country State Natural Area watching our son complete the 50k so we didn't really spend too much time at this extremely unique home. But this place has so much to offer: Great location! Direct access to the river! Love that dining table! Screened in porch! Deck that overlooks the river! Big fenced yard! Communication was top notch from the host (thanks!) I would definitely come back to stay here again, specifically to hang out and and enjoy all this place has to offer!
