This home was perfect for the 4 of us! It was so clean and the owner's attention to the small details made our stay so comfortable. The fenced yard was perfect for our dog, and she even had a bowl of water waiting for her when we arrived. We will most definitely stay here again!

Weekend Stay
This was our second stay at Stay Awhile. It is a perfect place to stay in Bandera. The accommodations are always so clean and very cozy! Colleen does a great job at having little things to make you feel at home. Nice covered porch to hang out in the evening or for your morning coffee. There is a grill with a little picnic sitting area. We look forward to booking in the future for hopefully a longer stay :)Highly recommend!

Cute, cozy Weekend stay!
We had the best time at this cottage in Bandera. It was perfect for the weekend while we picked our kids up from Camp OTX. Colleen has decorated the cabin so beautifully and made us really feel at home. We will definitely be booking again in the future.
We had a wonderful time in the cottage. It was so clean and beautifully built and furnished. Everything was like new. The cottage was unbelievably well-stocked with absolutely everything you might possibly need. We loved grilling and hanging out in the large yard and sitting on the lovely porch. The owners were so friendly and nice. Would go back there in a heartbeat <3
