Carriage Inn - Tarpley Suite 5

Many folks who plan a Hill Country vacation love to visit Bandera, also known as the Cowboy Capital of the World! It's packed with western history, great places to eat and shop, entertaining nightlife, and it's close to both the tubing fun of the Medina River and the Hill Country State Natural Area. One of those nightlife spots, the popular 11th Street Cowboy Bar, is right across the alley from the Tarpley Suite in the Carriage House Inn. It's the perfect place for two for your Bandera getaway!

The Tarpley Suite sleeps two people, but we'd like to bring to your attention that the Carriage House Inn provides comfort for up to 25 guests! There are five spacious suites in the inn itself, along with a separate cabin on the property. So, no matter how many of your folks you'd like to bring along to Bandera, there are several options available to you to perfectly accommodate everyone; not to mention you could have the entire place to yourself. Just ask us for details!

Behind the inn is an area shared with fellow guests. The back yard features a charcoal-fired BBQ pit for cowboy-style feasts, an outdoor fireplace around which you can share stories, and plenty of chairs and tables. String lights give your nighttime activities a special sparkle. The shaded porch up front is furnished with Adirondack chairs, a porch swing, and a great view of the vintage Wild West-era carriage on the property. The Carriage Inn is both kid-friendly and pet-friendly; you're more than welcome to bring a small and well-behaved dog along! First-come, first-served covered parking is provided for the inn rooms, and additional street parking is available.

A private stairway leads up to the Tarpley Suite, decorated with nostalgic and historical cowboy-era antiques. You'll also enjoy modern conveniences, such as efficient AC and heating units, along with tech and entertainment extras like Wifi service and a satellite TV. The suite's full kitchen features a stove and oven combo, fridge, microwave, and coffee maker, as well as pots, pans, glasses and utensils.

A roomy and sumptuous queen-sized bed in the bedroom provides sweet slumber for two people. Cleanup convenience is provided with the suite's spotlessly-clean full bath, decked out with a shower and tub combo. Your stay at the Tarpley Suite includes fresh linens for both the bed and bath areas, along with convenient extras like an ironing board and hair dryer, too!

Cowboy Mardi Gras Weekend

Location for the win! We have a camp house in Medina that we usually stay at for the weekend but have grown tired of driving back and forth. Communication was really good.

Perfect Bandara Location

We loved the location. We could walk to the Bandera River park. It was Christmas time so we walked through the light display. We loved being able to walk to the historic district for shopping, food and bars. We would've loved to have had a fire in the backyard but it was cold and very windy the night we planned to do it. Spending time in the backyard would've been a perfect activity. We brought our dog and there was plenty of places to walk her. During the day we hiked the 3 area state parks.
