Nostalgic River Cabin

If you are looking to get away, unplug, and truly relax, this is the perfect cabin! It is located on a perfect spot on the Medina and despite the river levels being really low, we found a beautiful spot on the trail. My son and I loved playing scrabble on the screened-in porch and listening to records on the record player. If I could run away, I would run here!

Fantastic Riverfront Property

This place was perfect for me—the photos on the listing don’t quite do it justice. The river, which is just a quick set of stairs away, was clear and beautiful, and the green belt running along the river is also a gem. Tons of a wildlife—axis deer, gar in the river, a lazy porcupine, an armadillo, a few (nonvenomous) snakes, birds… I couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.

Great getaway on the Medina River

Very cute and well appointed cabin; really won't need anything but food, charcoal for the Weber grill. Just a few steps to a large staircase down to the water. The river access area was spectacular (water levels were perfect during my stay). You have 2 miles to explore along the water's edge, which was perfect for me and my dogs. Highly recommend!

Great place to stay

Cabin was clean and the area was quiet. Everything you need for a relaxing get away. We enjoyed sitting out watching the river and the hummingbirds the frequented the feeder out back. Great communication by the owner. Would recommend it to anyone looking for a quiet place just out of Bandera. 5 Stars

Rustic Cabin with Medina Access

Alan was very attentive, and his description of the cabin, property & location to the river are all quite accurate. The cabin was very clean and the back porch was definitely the best spot (when not on the river). The Medina was gorgeous! The neighborhood is an old lake community, so (as expected) you get a little bit of everything neighbor-wise ... those not used to that might not be super comfortable with how close the cabin is to the road (even though it is a pretty quiet road). There's not much of a view of the river from the cabin, and you're too far away to hear it as well, so enjoying it is definitely done when you're down the private stairway rather than anywhere around the cabin itself. And chiggers don't hang around for long but this time of year mowing a walking strip in the tall grass between the stairway & the river would help keep them at bay.

Rustic but terrific location

The description of the property was accurate., and the reviews were a big help in understanding what to expect. The screened back porch was great and the two fans made that area even more comfortable. If a few trees were trimmed there would be a nice view of the river from the porch, but with all the summer vegetation, we could see the river only from a certain location in the yard. We took our drinking water, and did not have any well water issues. Be aware that there is no TV. This is Texas, and there were flies and mosquitoes, and chiggers in the tall grass near the river. However the access to the river was absolutely terrific.
