Bandera Box Guesthouse

Get ready to spend your days playing in the river and stargazing from the deck at night. The location is right in downtown Bandera where you can walk to everything, sleeping accommodations for up to 13 guests and great river access.

One of the most unique features of the Bandera Box Guest House is that it has an out-in-the-country feel on a one-acre plot, yet it's right in downtown Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World! Perched right on the scenic and fun Medina River, this Hill Country hideaway is a kid-friendly and pet-friendly waterfront cabin that's ideal for a family getaway. When you combine its location, amenities, fantastic views, and accommodations for up to 13 people, your next vacation can truly have it all!

Just imagine: in one direction lies the shops, night life, eats, and events of Bandera; in the other, the tubing, kayaking, and swimming fun of the Medina River-and nature lovers will love spying the wildlife that frequents its shores, too. No matter what you have planned-from just kicking back to taking in everything you can-the Bandera Box is perfect for your weekend adventure! It's an ideal central point from which you can explore the very best of the Hill Country.

An absolutely huge two-level deck faces the river, and it's nicely tree-shaded and equipped with patio furniture and a picnic table. Steps curve from the deck to the meadow and riverfront below, providing easy access to waterside fun and leisurely walks. A gas fire pit and charcoal grill set the stage for conversation and fresh-air dining, as well. There's ample parking here for motorcycles and vehicles.

No luxurious detail has been overlooked inside, from the kitchen with modern commercial appliances, the central air and heating, washer/dryer combo, and three bedrooms with comfy sleeping arrangements for up to 13 people. Gorgeous woodwork graces the floors and walls, and there's tons of relaxing space, including a huge living room and a kitchen/dining space with three seating areas. Four full bathrooms all feature showers, with a shower and tub combo in the master bath. All bed and bath linens are included, as are cooking and serving ware, glasses, and utensils. Tech-wise, there are three computer work areas, Wifi Internet access throughout the house, cable TV, and great cell service.
