Wonderful Home
We had an obligation in Bandera, and stayed at this lovely property. We enjoyed our coffee in the garden each AM. The home is updated, but still a throw-back in time, with the lovely decor and antiques in the home--brought back fond memories. We will be staying again for OTX camp drop-off/pick-up.

Incredible little getaway
The Zapata’s property was incredibly clean and welcoming. The house had the cutest decor inside and outside. There is also a cardinal that does wake-up calls if you sleep in the master bedroom. He is the cutest! Highly recommend. We enjoyed our stay.

Beautiful Garden and cute house
We had the extended family stay here in order to go to the rodeo in Bandera and to the Rancho Cortez Dude Ranch over Memorial Day weekend. The house is really well decorated. Feels like a country cottage. The gardens are amazing and a great place to relax. Unfortunately, the water levels in the creek out back are still pretty low, but the teens enjoyed hunting for tadpoles and watching the deer come into the field at night. My only two caveats would be to note that the "big" beds are still only queen sized (a king would have been nice in the master) and the owner lives right next door and likes to keep a close eye on things. Additionally, there is someone living over the detached garage next to the house. All very nice people, but if you prefer your privacy on vacation, like we do, then it's a bit too close for comfort. Otherwise, the house was comfortable, and the owners include many different amenities (e.g., snacks and coffee on arrival, access to laundry facilities, fresh towels in the closet) which make this a nicer place to stay than most rentals. I would recommend it for a small family or group of friends.

Excellent property in a nice secluded area of Bandera. Plenty of open space to walk around or just enjoy the wildlife, birds, fire pit. Clean property with all the comforts of home. Owners close by and very helpful.
