After her visit, our guest Jessie shared with us, "It's not just a house at the river, there is lots of room to roam and explore...You can just bring the family, relax and have fun."
Just past the backyard meadow behind the River House is all the water-based adventure of the Medina!
Kids and adults alike will find plenty of space to chow down in the roomy dining area.
"The pictures don't do this place justice. There was plenty of room for 4 adults and 5 kids and we could [have] fit more if needed," our guest Beau told us.
The living area is just part of the open floor plan here, where everyone will be part of the action!

About this property

Bandera River House on Medina

The Bandera River House is on three acres and has access to over a mile of shallows, rapids and swimming holes along the beautiful Medina River.

The Medina River flows through the Texas Hill Country, and it's a vacation hot spot for fishing, tubing, swimming, you name it. Plan your next holiday where you'll have your own private access to the river at a gorgeous Medina River cabin! The kid-friendly Bandera River House is a big and beautiful home away from home right on the banks of the Medina, with all the fun of the Cowboy Capital of the world just a short drive away. This waterfront cabin getaway is home to river livin' at its finest!

The Bandera River House is located on a spacious three-acre plot, where a meadow populated with local birds and wildlife spreads out between the cabin and the river. The famed splendor of the Hill Country walks right up to the back door of this perfect vacation rental, and the events, food, history, and night life of Bandera are just minutes from this countryside paradise.

Picnic tables and outdoor furniture are shaded by tall trees, setting the perfect stage for conversation, relaxation, wildlife watching, stargazing, or just relaxing. There's a firepit, also a chimenea-a small pot-bellied outdoor fireplace that's ideal for roasting weenies and marshmallows. Smoking is allowed here, as long as it's done safely outdoors.

The cabin's interior is adorned with warm and rustic woodwork on the floors and walls. With a total of two bedrooms and seven beds, the River House features comfortable sleeping accommodations for up to a dozen guests. The full bathroom includes a shower, and all bed and bath linens are included. There's a wide-open living room and dining room area with plenty of furniture, an electric fireplace, a long dining room table, and even a gaming table! The laundry room's equipped with a washer and dryer, and the kitchen has an oven, range top, and fridge. All the cookware and serving ware you'll need are here, too. The TV and VCR/DVD player comes with a library of movies, and satellite TV is available for a modest fee. Comfort is assured with ceiling fans and A/C and heating units, and there's a local land line phone, as well as great cell service.

This waterfront cabin getaway with stunning views puts it all on the table: private access to the Medina River, Bandera close by, luxurious amenities, and plenty of space for you and yours. Let us at Backroads Reservations book your fantastic family getaway here!
