The place was so elegantly decorated for Christmas, i was jealous, not over done but perfect. It felt like home, the sleep number bed was so comfortable. The porch was so nice to sit on and relax. The puppy next door was so sweet and let us pet her through the fence and it was fun to watch the chickens through the fence. We will be back for sure.

The cabin was exactly what we needed. Very clean and comfortable. Nice little fenced in yard just right for our little fur-baby (she’s an old gal). Parking was right next to the fence so no worries about your vehicle. Nice and cool inside when we arrived (thank you Colleen). We will look to stay here again on our next visit.

Weekend Stay

This was our second stay at Stay Awhile. It is a perfect place to stay in Bandera. The accommodations are always so clean and very cozy! Colleen does a great job at having little things to make you feel at home. Nice covered porch to hang out in the evening or for your morning coffee. There is a grill with a little picnic sitting area. We look forward to booking in the future for hopefully a longer stay :)Highly recommend!

Bandera stay April 2024

We had a wonderful time in the cottage. It was so clean and beautifully built and furnished. Everything was like new. The cottage was unbelievably well-stocked with absolutely everything you might possibly need. We loved grilling and hanging out in the large yard and sitting on the lovely porch. The owners were so friendly and nice. Would go back there in a heartbeat <3
