In addition, the biggest water attraction in town, the Medina River, is less than a mile away. While all the suites at Salt Block are well-insulated, please note it's in a vibrant and active neighborhood that can be noisy.
Bandera's own Texas Salt Co. will provide a flavorful touch of their award-winning smoked salts and spices to every suite at the Salt Block! Your kitchen at The Rustic suite will feature a complementary signature smoked products to sample, including their Cowboy Salt, Sea Salt, and Black Pepper. An on-site retail location is in the works, too!

There's a spacious and relaxing living area, complete with a Roku-ready smart TV; and a full kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a fridge, stove and oven combo, and dishwasher. There's even a coffee station to brighten your mornings! Wifi service is available throughout the suite, as well.
Your Hill Country nights will be comfortable, too! There are two bedrooms at The Rustic, one with a plush and roomy queen-sized bed, the other with two twins.
