The house is about 25 minutes from Bandera and is in a very quiet location.What I really liked was that the air conditioner was very quiet and that the outdoor unit is located on the side of the house where you can’t hear it.All in all, a really nice house.If I had one criticism, it would be that there was no gas available to spend a cozy evening by a warm fire outside on the porch.

Home was clean and well appointed! Grounds were well kept and the river access was good. Great place for kids and pets since water is shallow. Hill is steep getting to and from the water so older folks may have trouble.

Beautiful retreat in Hill Country

We really enjoyed our stay at La Hacienda Rio. The house and property are so beautiful and it is a great area to explore. It’s also close enough within an hour drive from San Antonio and other Hill Country towns to see other places in the area. The house is clean and welcoming and Laura and Perry were great hosts.

Fantastic place!

Us and our friends were looking for a weekend getaway, and this place was perfect! The location is great, right on the river (although unfortunately for us, the water by the house was extremely low, but a quick trip down the road to the park and the water was better), and Bandera is a short drive away and offers some great places to eat and shop. Would highly recommend this place, the house is amazing and very clean and the hosts were very easy to communicate with during the entire process.

Relaxing gem near the river

My wife, a couple friends and I travel around participating in Spartan Races. Of all the places we have stayed, this has to be one of the best VRBOs we have stayed in. The property is well kept, the view of the river from the back porch is amazing, and communication with the owner was great. If we run this race again next year, we will definitely try and book this property.

Beautiful Hill Country Getaway

La Hacienda Rio is a beautiful property and we absolutely loved our stay. The house itself is gorgeous, comfortable, very clean, and had everything we needed. The porch was spacious and had lovely views. The host was fast and easy to communicate with. The river was just a short walk from the home, which was fun to explore, and shallow enough for kids to walk in. The house is in a quiet area outside the city and really felt like the Texas Hill Country. It was a restful stay and we would visit again. Highly recommended.

Happy times and a Wonderful place to stay!!

This property is beautiful with amazing views. The back porch was a nice quiet place to sit and drink coffee and watch the wildlife in the morning. Our hosts were very responsive to our needs. The river park right down the road has deep pools of water for paddle boarding, floating etc and was secluded. You will not go wrong staying at the La Hacienda Rio. We will definitely be back. Thank you so much Laura and Perry for sharing your VRBO with our family. We will never forget our visit there!!!

River Oasis

Laura and Perry are wonderful hosts and took good care of us during our stay. Lovely home located just off a peaceful view of the Medina river, a piece of river paradise. My wife and I enjoyed our stay tremendously, just lounging on the back porch in the shade (back porch is also perfect for sunset viewing), taking in the river from different vantage points on the property, and exploring the river itself. On a cloudless night star gazing was spectacular. Seeing different types of wildlife on the property was exciting too (various birds, deer, turkey, etc.). I would highly recommend staying at this property. We hope to come back many more times in the future.
