Perfect Location For Our Activities

Our group of 3 were visiting Bandera for the great motorcycle routes in the area. The Bandera Cottage was very comfortable and interesting. We enjoyed sitting on the porch in the evenings after our rides. The listing shows the "Cottage as having 3 bedrooms but it is actually 2 bedrooms with a foldout couch in the living room, however the foldout was very comfortable. Enjoyed seeing the deer in the area on my morning walks. Overall we were very happy with our stay and the accommodations.

Schönes Haus in ruhiger Lage. Die Rehe kommen Abends vorbei und legen sich in den Garten.

Das Haus und die Einrichtung sind rustikal, wie es in einer Westernstadt sein sollte. Die Vermieterin sehr nett, und antwortete immer innerhalb kurzer Zeit. Es ist Zentral gelegen, so dass man die Saloons zu Fuß erreichen kann.

We had a great time at this spacious and cozy cottage. Loved the historic character of the house and how we could easily walk to Main Street. The beds were very comfortable, and the cottage was equipped with everything we needed for a nice relaxing stay. Loved watching the deer. A great home base for exploring Bandera and its attractions!

Perfect accommodations and location!!

What a wonderful weekend. The location is literally as close as you can get to all the happenings and yet quiet when ready to call it a night. We were two couples enjoying the Labor Day Weekend festivities. The beds were comfortable, AC worked well, kitchen well equipped, and each room was spacious. Even the little details were covered—good shower head, plenty of towel hooks/racks, nice size bathroom counter area, and outdoor grill that worked. Toni even checked in on us to make sure everything was OK.

Change of Plans

We had a hiccup in our Bandera plans on the day before our trip. On my way to my brother-in-laws to load up my motorcycle on a trailer for our trip I had a truck and trailer hit my motorcycle. Luckily no one was hurt but my motorcycle was too damaged to make the trip. The group decided to go ahead and make the trip in our vehicle and make the best of it. We had the best time and really enjoyed our stay at this lovely, kozy house. It was very clean and well supplied with a lot of accessories. The location was awesome and we were able to walk to all the hot spots in town. We really enjoyed our evening at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar on Friday night. The mornings and evenings on the porch watching the numerous deer roam the neighborhood was so relaxing and enjoyable. This is a great place and we plan on staying here when we do get to make it a motorcycle weekend in the future. Thanks for a great stay!

Precious cottage with great history

My cousin and I had a relaxing time at this wonderful little home and exploring Bandera. Cute details, loved the history. Both beds and pillows were so comfortable, we slept great! Communication was great, check-in was easy, there’s plenty of activity brochures to round off the stay! We loved it and can’t wait to come back!

About the host

Hosted by Toni Kunz

Host profile image
My ancestors settled Bandera. I grew up here, left for college, found a career as an information developer and have now been back in Bandera for 12 years. After traveling the world, I knew it was time to come home. I am the mother of 2 border collie mix fur babies, affectionately referred to as "The Heathens." My family and I are well known around Bandera and take great pride in our reputation for being ethical, hard working and people you can count on. We believe in supporting local businesses and organizations by shopping, volunteering, and promoting all aspects of our beautiful little mecca.

Why they chose this property

Location, location, location, as they say! This property makes it an especially appealing vacation spot for those who appreciate being steps away from all the main attractions in Bandera but also like a nice serene retreat to porch sit, watch the wildlife and, on a good night, hear the music play.

What makes this property unique

I love the coziness of the main house, as well as it's recent renovation that added safety and comfort with the central air and heat for comfortable temperature control while preserving the original charm with the kitchen cabinets, old fireplace and hardwood floors. The location is walkable to everything, but still offers a quiet and serene retreat like you are miles away. It is perfect for a gathering of friends or family wanting a getaway.
