Property Description

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.

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.

Loved the Bandera Box. Had another house booked that did not live up to expectations and had to cancel finding myself with no place to stay after 6 pm and with my family to arrive the following day. Found Bandera Box listing and Backroads Reservations responded immediately to my reservation request and maintained excellent communication throughout. The house is great and the view from the back deck was amazing. Our 8-yr old daughter loved watching the deer down by the river each morning and evening. It really is the best of both worlds being right in the middle of town on one side and having unspoiled river views and access on the other. Already thinking about another stay in warmer weather to do some kayaking and fishing.

I wanted to reach out and express my sincere gratitude for the incredible vacation experience my family and I had at your rental property in Bandera, Tx. Seem-less check in. Was great. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it made us feel instantly at home. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The location of your rental property was si convenient. Being located so close to various attractions made our vacation all the more enjoyable. We were able to explore the local area, engage in outdoor activities, and create cherished memories together. All within walking distance. I must commend your staff for their exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. They were always available to assist us with any inquiries or concerns, and their friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our experience. My daughter in law left an expensive bathing suit and we reached out to Spencer who quickly responded and got it in the mail to us. (Which we received 🤗) Our only wish was there was water to get to in the river. Once again, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for providing us with such a wonderful vacation retreat. It was a much-needed escape that allowed us to relax, recharge, and bond as a family. Rest assured that we will highly recommend your rental property to our friends and family, and we hope to return for another memorable stay in the future. Wishing you many more happy guests.

My stay was short but very relaxing and comfortable while I was helping with a fundraiser. It is in close proximity to everything in town and conveniently walking distance to grocery store. The house was very roomy, clean, and quiet even though the street it’s in can get quite busy. I had friends pull up on their bikes and I wouldn’t here them till they knocked I. The door. I will definitely try to book this place again with family and friends.

Backroads Reservations has a great selection of rentals in a variety of Texas towns. We stayed at the Bandera Box house in downtown Bandera for the weekend. The accommodations and location were perfect for our group. We were able to walk into the downtown area to restaurants, shops and bars. The rental house had a great kitchen, living area, outdoor spaces and enough beds for everyone in our group. We will definitely book with this company again in the future and look forward to future trips.

Our family is forever grateful for the quick response and quick access in our time of need. We were turned away by so many while evacuating hurricane Laura. Not only were we turned away, but we watched prices double and triple and felt hopeless..but not this place. These owners are the epitome of Texas hospitality. We didn't expect to find this gem, and to be so comfortable..it was like the stress melted away. It's beyond beautiful and had everything we needed. We spent hours swimming in the river, and if we needed groceries we just walked to the store. Every restaurant we ate at was 3-5 minutes away. It's right down the road from an amazing park where we fished and fed ducks, my son was thrilled..(he's a duck whisperer). The view on the porch was amazing and entertainment on it's own, and the river downstairs was so cool and clear. What was an evacuation turned into a vacation and we all pledged we would be back! Also, there's a restroom in every room...i swear that's the most convenient amenity in the world!!
Stephanie
Great house, lovely decor, interesting location, beautiful view behind the house and river access. We loved the amazing deck for morning coffee and lunch, it is in direct sun in the afternoon and with temps about 100 during our stay and no cover, we stayed in the river or inside until sunset. Great place for star gazing! We loved walking to local coffee places and to restaurants for take-out. The river was low during our stay but the cool water was great for swimming and fishing. It's a an energetic trek from the house to the river, young children would need help. We enjoyed the house, outdoors, and space to spread out inside. Everything we needed in the kitchen and more towels than we could have used. Nice place for fun family time together! Municipal river access to a deeper part of the river is a half mile down the road at a city park.
