Property Description

The prettiest views in Texas meet the lushly-landscaped feel of the French Riviera in this knockout waterfront vacation rental! The waters of Bandera Creek sparkle behind the Water's Edge Guesthouse, a family-friendly and pet-friendly dream of a vacation spot. Set on a gorgeous ten-acre property where plentiful wildlife abounds, this peaceful country house is an amazing setting for luxurious relaxation at a budget-friendly rate. And just two miles away is Bandera-the Cowboy Capital of the World!

*Water levels are very low. Contact us to check at time of booking*

The entire family will love this Hill Country getaway with swimming and other water activities, courtesy of its private riverside setting. You'll also be conveniently located just a short drive from the Medina River in Bandera, known for its tubing, kayaking, fishing, and other wet adventures. Not only that, but the Water's Edge is your stepping stone to all the shops, antiquing, Texas-style eats, and fun events of the Cowboy Capital of the World. The perfect blend of country and city awaits!

Outdoor seating aplenty is available here, both on the spacious deck and around the fire pit-a fun and scenic place for your crew to gather. Whether you'd like to roast up a few s'mores or pull out all the stops for a full-fledged Texas BBQ, the fire pit and charcoal grill will have you covered. A gently sloping and graduated walkway leads you to the shores of Bandera Creek, ideal for a dip or just kicking back to the soothing sounds of the water. Smoking is allowed outside only, please.

There's a Mediterranean feel to the interior here-regal, bright, and airy. Its three bedrooms and four beds provide comfy slumber accommodations for up to six, and there are two full baths with tubs and showers in both, in addition to a bonus half-bath. Complimentary bed and bath linens are included, too. The living room and dining room provide plenty of comfortable seating, and there's even a fireplace to warm your toes by. All the appliances and cooking ware, utensils, and glasses you could ask for are included in the big, full kitchen. There's wireless Wifi on-site, a smart TV with DVD player in the upstairs bedroom, and great AT&T cell service, and the entire two-level house is climate-controlled with central air and ceiling fans.

This is a luxurious and gorgeous Texas Hill Country vacation rental-let there be no doubt! The stunning Water's Edge Guesthouse can be yours for your next holiday, and Backroads Reservations can put you there!

Mary
EXCELLENT HOUSE, EXCELLENT PROPERTY, EXCELLENT OWNER, COULDN'T HAVE ASKED FOR MORE. Ok well there was no water in the river by the house. Mother Natures fault. QUIET, SAFE, BUTTERFLIES AND RED BIRDS AND DEER ARE BOUNTIFUL! BEAUTIFUL LANDSCAPE, HOUSE BEAUTIFUL INSIDE AND OUT. I would recommend this property to all!
Barbara
Very comfortable and well-appointed. Wonderful rural setting and amazing landscaping. Please note that a caretaker is onsite in a garage apartment next to the house. This was a surprise when we arrived but was not a bother or problem at all.
Lorien
Enjoyed a lovely weekend. The beautiful gardens make the house a great place to just relax and enjoy nature. The hosts supplied water, coffee and snacks, which was a nice touch. Very close to Bandera and Kerrville for when you want to explore the area.
Robert
Wonderful house, relaxed setting, thanks for adding the larger t.v. and cable for us. Fire pit added for an evening of pleasure in the outdoors, The river setting was beautiful. we liked you suggestions Backroads.
Garrett
Property was a perfect get away. The house and owners are both great. The home is beautifully decorated and the grounds are gorgeous. We saw so many butterflies and hummingbirds in the gardens. Roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, playing games as a family, and watching the frogs and fish in the stream were some of the highlights. The town of Bandera is nice, and we enjoyed visiting City Park (with a number of swimming holes) and the Natural History museum (home to Trixie the dinosaur of Night at the Museum fame). We really enjoyed our time here and plan on coming back again
Jenny
We had the best weekend here! It was so relaxing. The house is close to town. The pictures do not do this place justice! We will definitely be back!
