Photo gallery for Water's Edge Guesthouse

Water's Edge is only a couple of miles from downtown Bandera, so you have the convenience of being close to town while still enjoying a peaceful country setting!
Behind the house, your path to Bandera Creek is clearly marked. Keep in mind the creek levels are seasonal, check with us for water depth when you book.
Right after her visit, our guest Stephanie told us, "We loved this! Great for kids and adults...Close to town and the Medina River. We hope to visit this property again."
The wide-open skies at Water's Edge offer an unobstructed view of glorious sunsets and star-filled nightly shows.
Tasteful and pretty decorative touches don't stop inside! The outdoor decor blends beautifully with the natural landscape.

The prettiest views in Texas meet the lushly-landscaped feel of the French Riviera in this knockout waterfront vacation rental! The waters of Bandera Creek sparkle behind the Water's Edge Guesthouse, a family-friendly and pet-friendly dream of a vacation spot. Set on a gorgeous ten-acre property where plentiful wildlife abounds, this peaceful country house is an amazing setting for luxurious relaxation at a budget-friendly rate. And just two miles away is Bandera-the Cowboy Capital of the World!

*Water levels are very low. Contact us to check at time of booking*

The entire family will love this Hill Country getaway with swimming and other water activities, courtesy of its private riverside setting. You'll also be conveniently located just a short drive from the Medina River in Bandera, known for its tubing, kayaking, fishing, and other wet adventures. Not only that, but the Water's Edge is your stepping stone to all the shops, antiquing, Texas-style eats, and fun events of the Cowboy Capital of the World. The perfect blend of country and city awaits!

Outdoor seating aplenty is available here, both on the spacious deck and around the fire pit-a fun and scenic place for your crew to gather. Whether you'd like to roast up a few s'mores or pull out all the stops for a full-fledged Texas BBQ, the fire pit and charcoal grill will have you covered. A gently sloping and graduated walkway leads you to the shores of Bandera Creek, ideal for a dip or just kicking back to the soothing sounds of the water. Smoking is allowed outside only, please.

There's a Mediterranean feel to the interior here-regal, bright, and airy. Its three bedrooms and four beds provide comfy slumber accommodations for up to six, and there are two full baths with tubs and showers in both, in addition to a bonus half-bath. Complimentary bed and bath linens are included, too. The living room and dining room provide plenty of comfortable seating, and there's even a fireplace to warm your toes by. All the appliances and cooking ware, utensils, and glasses you could ask for are included in the big, full kitchen. There's wireless Wifi on-site, a smart TV with DVD player in the upstairs bedroom, and great AT&T cell service, and the entire two-level house is climate-controlled with central air and ceiling fans.

This is a luxurious and gorgeous Texas Hill Country vacation rental-let there be no doubt! The stunning Water's Edge Guesthouse can be yours for your next holiday, and Backroads Reservations can put you there!

Wonderful Home
We had an obligation in Bandera, and stayed at this lovely property. We enjoyed our coffee in the garden each AM. The home is updated, but still a throw-back in time, with the lovely decor and antiques in the home--brought back fond memories. We will be staying again for OTX camp drop-off/pick-up.
