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.

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!
