We enjoyed our stay here at the cabin and exploring around the river/stream. Unfortunately, the water levels are low, but we knew this coming in and we were able to put a few seats in the water and dip our toes in.The cabin had everything we needed, and we appreciate that they included some additional items like face wipes, hand, soaps, Q-tips, etc.Our family is used to being on well water so just wanna mention to families visiting …if you use the hot water you may have a sulfur type smell, which is completely normal. We like the proximity to Bandera and exploring the town. It’s a great little place to be if you’re trying to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Everything We Were Looking For

Couldn't have asked for a better host or nicer weekend getaway with family. The cabin was very clean and so well stocked - most towels of any place we've ever stayed! :) Great time, accommodations, and host.

Family friendly weekend getaway

This cabin was perfect for a group of 9. It had everything we needed and I appreciate the amount of towels available. There was great outdoor space on the porch and in front for safe kid friendly space. The kids had a blast and can’t wait to go back.

Great getaway

Spotless cabin, comfy bed and stocked with everything you need. Thoughtful owners who obviously care about their guests. Lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed the river, fires at night and all the great spots to relax. Especially loved feeding the deer that were feet from us as well as the birds and squirrels. Even saw a fox! We would definitely return, and you won't be disappointed with this beautiful spot.

Very fun trip

My family wanted to take a trip with the kids to get away from it all but at the same time be responsible from a health perspective. The place was super clean and remote and was the perfect vacation during these uncertain times. We would definitely stay here again.

Great cabin with awesome views

We very much enjoyed our stay. The views were great and there is plenty of room for kids to explore. The river was low, but that didn't dampen the fun we had. The location is a little secluded, but still close to State parks and the town of Bandera. All in all, if you want a peaceful spot, this is the place.

Beautiful scenery

We enjoyed the quiet peaceful atmosphere that this cabin had to offer. Even though the Medina water level is low, we were able find enough water to float on tubes and enjoy the natural surroundings. This place had everything we needed to cookout and a spacious porch to hang out in the morning. Carol and Lyn were great hostesses! We will definitely be back.

So relaxing

My husband and I truly enjoyed our trip to the cabin. We really enjoyed our walk along the river and sat on the front porch and listened to the water flowing. The cabin was spotless and had way more room then what we were expecting. Also the bed was very comfortable.

Annular Solar Eclipse Oct. 2023

Our Eclipse experience was made immaculate by the setting of this gorgeous property & river access…. It was the perfect place for family & close friends to share experiences together and make memories. Lots of beds for everyone, a good kitchen for family meals, and the best spot for relaxing adventures…! Highly recommend!!!

Cozy cabin in a great location on the river

Location is amazing- lovely to sit on the porch in the morning looking out at the river. We loved kayaking and skimming stones on the river. Lovely that our dog could go loose. The firepit and loungers by the river at night was a highlight. And smores! The cabin was cozy, comfortable and very well equipped . We really felt like we escaped to nature for a few days.

Wonderful! A hill country haven!

What a special place to relax and enjoy the Medina! The cabin was clean, very well equipped and so comfortable! The covered deck facing the river provided a lovely place to watch the birds, the river, and families enjoying this fantastic setting. My dog enjoyed it as much as I did! Best of all, the owners and the camp host were amazing.., welcoming and attentive. I would recommend Boulderdash cabin! I know I will be back as soon as I can!!

Holiday Away From Home

A rough-looking drive into the property, not in the owner's control, was offset by the setting when we arrived at the cabin. Quiet, secluded, well designed for relaxing on the porch watching deer and the creek view. Owners are delightful and set up a Christmas Day potluck for the campers and locals that was very nice. Strangers enjoying each other's company. Will return in a different season.

About the host

Hosted by Carol-anne & Lyn

Host profile image
Lyn Is from Iowa & Carol-anne is from Alberta Canada, we bought this property in 2017 with hopes of retiring here which we did in 2021! Lyn is retired military, and Carol-anne is a retired critical care RN. We are both pretty social and really love meeting new people. This property has been such a blessing that we couldn't help but share it with others!

Why they chose this property

The neighborhood is not what sold us, and you will understand that when you come. Lyn and I are always looking for a diamond in the rough, and I believe we found it here! We are both very involved in trying to get this area cleaned up, and back to its previous glory! Lyn is very involved with the POA as well as our local VFD. I run a community facebook page and organize trash pick ups & fund raise for our dirt roads. We both have a vision and see Lake Medina Shores only getting better in the next 5 years! The area is truly beautiful.

What makes this property unique

Our property is unique because its off the beaten path, Its topography is very unique with the huge limestone boulders and cliffs that offer lovely views. We are also SMALL, we have an option for every sort of nature lover from tent sites to this fully stocked cabin. Please like us on Facebook! We will be posting pics, improvements, plans and interacting with our guests there! You can also visit our website Boulderdash.net where you can book our campsites, see reviews, photos and check lake levels.
