Clear River Cabin on Medina

Photo gallery for Clear River Cabin on Medina

Visitors here love everything about the place! As our guest Sean put it, "A little slice of heaven - we loved our stay and access to the beautiful Medina River."
Fish, wade, and float on 500 feet of private waterfront access!
The tree-lined banks of the Medina River, and the calming sounds surrounding them, create a perfect place to decompress.
A comfy and roomy queen-sized bed creates restful space for two in the main bedroom...and clean linens are included, too!
Of course, we're slightly biased, but when you visit the Clear River Cabin, we hope you'll fall in love with the Hill Country, too!

A perfect place for a family getaway, come stay at this secluded rustic cabin on 100 pristine acres six minutes from Bandera.

A 500-foot private stretch of the Medina River all to yourself? Check. 100 acres of the scenic Texas Hill Country for you to explore? Check. A quiet rural setting, yet furnished with modern comforts and amenities? Check. The attractions and fun of Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World, only minutes away? Check. Your family vacation wish list will be fulfilled, and then some, at the Clear River Cabin on the Medina River! This rustic cabin is perfect for a secluded weekend getaway.

This waterfront vacation rental is perfect for a small family, with beautiful Hill Country views everywhere you turn! Outdoor aficionados will love the park-like setting of the spacious property, and it's just a short drive from the Hill Country State Natural Area.

With the cypress-lined and crystal-clear Medina River nearby, you can enjoy swimming, tubing, fishing, and wildlife watching-or a leisurely walk along the river. It's the perfect spot to clear your head; the sounds of the river can be very therapeutic! The porch, complete with ample patio furniture, runs the length of the cabin-and it's shaded for your comfort. Want to whip up a hearty outdoor dinner? There's a charcoal grill here, too; just be sure to grab some charcoal for cooking. Cast your gaze skyward on clear nights for great stargazing!

The inside of the cabin is decorated in a Lone Star and cowboy theme-perfect for its location near Bandera! The seating area features a TV and DVD player, along with a selection of titles to enjoy. The kitchen and dining area (with an island and bar stools) is furnished with appliances and utensils, dishes, and glasses. The cabin has a queen-sized bed and a twin, providing sleeping room for three. The full bathroom here features a walk-in shower, and all bed and bath linens are provided-however, we ask you bring towels to use when on or in the river. Box air conditioning and heating units are on hand for year-round comfort, and good cell service is provided in the area.

With the property itself, and the scenic walks and drives available in the Bandera area, the Clear River Cabin on the Medina River offers all the ingredients for an awesome family holiday! Get a hold of us here at Backroads Reservations, and we'll set you up for your next memorable Hill Country escape.

This property was ok. It was not all it was wrote out to be. The river is a good walk and not great
This was not a good experience for us. It may be good for someone else, but not our cup of tea. Be careful not to get accused of something you did not do.
