About this property

Carriage Inn - Hondo Suite 3

The next time you visit the Hill Country, consider Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World! Its western heritage and hospitality comes along with eclectic shops, cuisine, and night life, not to mention the water-based fun of the Medina River that flows nearby. Find yourself in the heart of the cowboy capital at the Hondo Suite at the Carriage House Inn, located just across the alley from Bandera's 11th Street Cowboy Bar; you'll be close to all the best this fun and historic town has to offer!

The Hondo Suite sleeps five people, but we'd like to bring to your attention that the Carriage House Inn provides comfort for up to 25 guests! There are five spacious suites in the inn itself, along with a separate cabin on the same property. So, no matter how many of your folks you'd like to bring along to Bandera, there are several options available to you to perfectly accommodate everyone; not to mention you could have the entire place to yourself. Just ask us for details!

Behind the inn is an area shared with other guests. The back yard features a charcoal-fired BBQ pit for cowboy-style feasts, an outdoor fireplace around which you can share stories, and plenty of furniture. String lights give your nighttime activities a special sparkle. The shaded porch up front is furnished with Adirondack chairs, a porch swing, and a great view of a vintage Wild West-era carriage on the property. Small, well-behaved dogs are allowed at this pet-friendly and kid-friendly rental. First-come, first-served covered parking is provided for the inn rooms, and additional street parking is available.

Antique pieces from the cowboy and pioneer era decorate the Hondo Suite, all paired with the finest of modern comfort, too! For example, the guest suite has efficient AC and heating units, along with tech and entertainment pluses like Wifi service and a satellite TV. The full kitchen includes a fridge, microwave, toaster, and coffee maker, along with an oven and stove combo. There are also pots, pans, glasses, and utensils on hand.

Comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to five people are available at the Hondo Suite, with a queen-sized bed in the first and second bedroom, and a small twin bed in the third bedroom. The suite's full bath has a historic and functional shower/tub combo, with an antique cast iron tub. Clean linens are provided for both bed and bath, along with convenient extras like an ironing board and hair dryer, too!

Nice place with great backyard for bringing along the dogs

Older converted home that was comfortable and included what we needed. The yard was fantastic and location was ideal. Our only issues were really with the fact that the 3rd bedroom did not have a heater and got incredibly cold at night (it was rainy and 41 degrees outside - not much warmer in there). The woman staying in there ended up sleeping on futon in bigger room so she could be warm at night. We also had one roll of toilet paper and never could find anymore anywhere in the house. But it was clean and very centrally located. Nice hot water in shower and comfortable beds.

Bike Rally

My group booked this property for the weekend of the Thunder in the Hills Rally. It was in the perfect location. We were able to walk most places that we wanted to. The covered the parking for the bikes was greatly appreciated. The room was spacious and clean. The downstairs seating area was perfect for the evening. I loved this place!

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication
First the positive, the kitchen has been redone and looks very nice. The location was fantastic to be right in downtown. I would not rent again in the summer! 2 of the 3 rooms did not get below the mid 80's the first night and made it impossible to sleep well. The bathroom and kitchen never were able to be cooled to any degree and remained very warm the entire time. The key pads have recurring codes for multiple guests and there is not even a flimsy chain to deter anyone from entering. Never felt that safety was a concern.
