Quiet stay close to activities in Bandera

Cottage had all the comforts of home and was within walking distance of Main Street and the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. Enjoyed a live concert there then strolled back to our quiet cottage. Great weekend! Thanks so much!

Perfect cottage

Needed a reasonable place to stay for a few days of Hill County riding, and struck gold. Perfect location, great accommodations and new property owner was fantastic. Got to view larger half and I'm making plans for a group

Perfect Location to Explore Bandera

We stayed in the cottage on the property, which is decorated in period antiques and is in immaculate condition. We were two blocks from Main Street, one block from the nightlife on 11th Street, and three blocks from the City park with access to the Cypress lined Medina River. When the weather is cool, you hardly need a vehicle to explore the entire area. A great find in an historic Texas town!

Perfect couple's get away

Thank you for having us. We chose Bandera and your cottage to celebrate our 18th wedding anniversary. We enjoyed reading about the history and how it was loving restored. The decor and careful choices you made with the furniture really makes it feel like a home. And I am such a sucker for mid century modern everything. We will be recommending your cottage and plan to stay here again. Thank you for your hospitality. See you soon.

Beautiful cottage. All the room I needed for my stay.

I stayed in this cottage last year and decided to stay again. It is close to the RV Park where I spent my days. The cottage is in a good location . Downtown is close and once inside you don't hear anything from outside. I enjoyed sitting in the rocking chairs on the front porch and watching the deer graze in the front yard.

About the host

Hosted by Toni Kunz

Host profile image
My ancestors settled Bandera. I grew up here, left for college, found a career as an information developer and have now been back in Bandera for 12 years. After traveling the world, I knew it was time to come home. I am the mother of 2 border collie mix fur babies, affectionately referred to as "The Heathens." My family and I are well known around Bandera and take great pride in our reputation for being ethical, hard working and people you can count on. We believe in supporting local businesses and organizations by shopping, volunteering, and promoting all aspects of our beautiful little mecca.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location, as they say! This property makes it an especially appealing vacation spot for those who appreciate being steps away from all the main attractions in Bandera but like a nice serene retreat to porch sit, watch the wildlife and, on a good night, hear the music play.

What makes this property unique

I love the coziness of the guest house, as well as it's recent renovation that added safety, quiet mini-splits for comfortable temperature control, stained glass windows and preserved the antique pine counter top in the kitchen. The location is walkable to everything, but still offers a quiet and serene retreat like you are miles away. It is perfect for a couple wanting a getaway.
