This countryside roost is also close to great towns like Bandera and Medina, so you'll be close to great food, shopping, night life, and events!

There's space here to accommodate up to 13 guests, but this spacious home is perched on ten gorgeous Hill Country acres, so everyone will have plenty of elbow room!

The grounds are ideal for wildlife watching, hiking, and stargazing, too!

The River Bend Hideaway has two shaded porches, both with comfy outdoor furniture, where you can rest and savor views of the mountainous countryside and the nearby Medina River. The charcoal grill on-site allows you to test your BBQ skills; there's nothing like a hearty meal after a day on the river! While bed and bath linens are included during your stay, your hosts at River Bend ask that guests bring their own towels for use on the river. If there are smokers in your crew, they're allowed to light up, but outside only, please.

Gleaming light and dark woodwork makes the interior shine, along with plenty of natural light. There's an enormous living area and dining area, a bar island with stools, and a generously equipped kitchen, including a washer and dryer alcove right next to the kitchen. Cutlery, glasses, cookware and serving ware for your meals are included, too! Both full bathrooms in the home have showers, and the three bedrooms with seven plush and restful beds provide great sleeping arrangements for up to a baker's dozen.

Biker Rallies of Texas

Supporting and boosting local businesses and events is at the very heart of what we do at Backroads Reservations! The good folks at Biker Rallies of Texas are the devoted organizers of the most popular motorcycle rallies in the Hill Country. With major rallies in the spring and fall, they work nonstop to assure safety, organization, great memories, and a good time is had by all attending! They’ve got their start in 2000, when they arranged rallies in Liberty County and Kerrville, Texas. Two years later, they found their permanent home in Bandera. Let’s take a look at the two major events they currently host.

Boerne’s Hill Country Mile

In the hustle of modern American life, it’s easy to lose sight of an important cultural fact: it’s difficult to get everything done on your daily to-do list without a car. Too many towns have been designed with outwardly-expanding sectors of commerce that put one business or attraction miles away from another. The larger the size of the town, the more true this adage seems to be.

Great location with private river access. Kept kids entertained with river and plenty of wildlife. Close to Bandera with shopping, entertainment and great food! Could not have asked for a better escape from the screens and reconnect as a family. Thank you for sharing your space with us! We will be back!
Matthew
This was perfect for my family of four! This place was very spacious for us, very quiet, and also the host was very accommodating to my schedule. I was able to check in early and late. If you are looking to drink, eat, BBQ, star gaze and be able to have a great nights sleep go here.
Marta
My family and I had an amazing time at the cabin, we even talked about coming back in the future because we loved it so much. We loved the atmosphere, the fresh air. The fact that we could literally walk to the river and have an awesome time. It was so quiet and relaxing to be there. A huge plus for us, was the privacy and how homey the cabin felt. The kids did not want to leave, they loved the fact that they could run around outside and it was safe. Oh, they loved how close the deers got to the cabin. We also got to see a few rabbits hoping around. Such a beautiful place to stay at with your family, definitely worth the drive. The host were also so kind and always checking up to make sure we were okay. Definitely felt the happy calm vibes at the cabin! Private note: We appreciate you sharing your beautiful cabin with us. We loved staying there, it’s such a neatly and well kept cabin. Thank you once again for everything.

We were needing to get away for some quiet and relaxing time and this place had it. The house was great and had everything we needed but the location was the best. We walked down to the river and sat on the back porch watching the variety of wildlife that came out to eat the corn that we threw out. Besides the whitetail, we had black buck, axis, wild pigs, and mouflon sheep. We did go for a drive through the hill country and then stopped in town at the apple store and had lunch and brought some delicious apple pie back with us. We will definitely be back when we can stay a little longer.
Barbara
The house was great!! We accomplished exactly what we wanted to do this weekend....relax and unwind. We enjoyed watching the wildlife running in the fields behind the house. We did drive in the hill country for awhile and stopped at the apple store for lunch and apple pie...great little place. Wish we could have stayed longer but work always calls. Hopefully we can get back down there for some more relaxing times. thanks so much.
Merissa Green
We absolutely loved our stay at the cabin! My little family needed a getaway and change of pace from Covid-life, and the cabin in Medina was just perfect. The enjoyed siting on the porch to watch the wildlife in the mornings and our toddler loved exploring by the river and throwing rocks in the water. The firepit was nice for evening fun too. We took a daytrip over to Lost Maples for the beautiful fall colors. The cabin was very clean and comfortable with plenty of space. Think we'll be planning another trip in the spring/summer!
