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.

Thank you for sharing! We're so glad the location worked well for you, and it's great to hear that the communication was on point. We'd love to have you stay again whenever you're ready for a weekend getaway!
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.
