About this property

Bright Star - Executive Ranch Style Home in Bandera 3BR+Office

Spacious, beautiful, and sparkling clean ranch style home with home office space just 1 mile from Main Street in Bandera away from the noise. This lovely 2,000+ sq ft home has been recently renovated and furnished. Enjoy luxury linens and mattresses, great wifi, two Smart TVs, fire pit, deer sightings, dedicated office (with ultra-wide monitor), and a huge driveway. The kitchen has everything including a Texas shaped waffle maker and bread maker. :) It's also a short 1.4 Miles to Bandera City Park (the river). This house is bound to exceed your expectations.

NOTE: I may have some exterior renovation visible during your stay as I'm planning to add on a room this fall. I will ensure no construction is actually happening during your stay and it should not alter the interior of the house.

The Coziest Home Away From Home

Our travels prompted us to find this well polished gem. We came to Bandera to support my son in his grand opening of Bandera Jewelers. Bright Star was very close to town, and tucked away just enough for hometown neighborhood privacy. Let me tell you, this home is so beautiful and the host has definitely thought of everything! It is nice to know that we have a place to stay that mirrors the cleanliness and comfort of our own home. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. The beds were so comfortable, it was like sleeping on clouds. The house is very roomy, with large bedrooms with master ensuite. The house is very modern and had everything we ever could have thought of needing. Sandra, keep up the great customer service! It was also nice to know that you were quickly responsive to my messages.

Best Property Ever!

We have stayed at a lot of nice VRBO homes, but this one was the best! The house was beautiful, super clean, and Sandra thought of everything! It had all the conveniences of home and more! Her home was out in a country neighborhood so we saw deer every day and yet only about 5 minutes from Bandera. You will not be disappointed! I hope we can stay again soon!

About the host

Hosted by Sandra Nicholas

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Texas and have also lived in Toronto, Canada for 20+ years of my life. I volunteer with seniors in the hospital one day a week and in the community. I've been working with children and ethical nonprofits for over 20 years. I enjoy walking and good food.

Why they chose this property

My Bandera home has been a dream to own. It is beautiful, updated, spacious, and a real gem in Bandera. It is certainly one of the nicest homes in the area and is just a mile from downtown. The pandemic made it possible for me to have a place to live and work remotely for my job while being near family so the office area is also well equipped. This area has the feel of a spacious subdivision in a rural community with deer!

What makes this property unique

Get away from the city to the "Cowboy Capital of the World". There are shops and enjoyable restaurants with some good down home cooking. It is a slower speed here and this home does leave you with the feeling of being away from it all. It is also quieter than downtown Bandera if you want a good nights sleep. It is just a little over a mile to the Medina river where you can enjoy tubing, swimming, or the river ambiance. Several horseback riding options are nearby too.
