Peace and quiet

The cabin was awesome. Went to get away for a few days. A minutes walk from the river. Nature at its best. Ducks, deer, birds. Very peaceful. Walk away to great restaurants, bars, dancehalls, boutiques and shopping. Cabin was clean and quiet. Absolutely enjoyed this 2 day get away.

It was very nice. Tracy was wonderful to deal with. The only thing was that the bathroom exhaust fan wasn't working and one lamp switch didn't work. But that's just what happens in life so we loved it and will definitely return when back in Bandera.

The Vaquero was a cute lil cabin across from the River in Bandera Tx. The room was beautiful and modern with everything you need to have a comfy stay. The beds were comfortable and the room was so clean upon arrival. The host was very accommodating and kept in touch all week. I will be back and highly recommend this place 😊

I really enjoyed staying here, everything was clean and the bed was very comfortable! It's very peaceful and quiet. The only thing I would complain about is the air conditioner window unit is very loud and kept waking me up. Other then that it was a perfect stay.

New favorite place to stay in Bandera,Tx.

Well let's just say we absolutely plan on returning. Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, across from a county park, pet friendly and loved the front porch to sit and relax.
