If you're planning a visit to Bandera for a large group of people, and ideally you'd like to keep them all together, the Carriage House Inn offers an ideal solution!

The backyard of the Carriage House Inn is a wonderful gathering spot! It's furnished with plenty of outdoor seating, and there's also a charcoal pit for the creation of hearty Texas-style BBQ meals. Strings of outdoor lights add a magical touch to your evenings here, when you aren't out and about exploring Bandera, of course. This century-old Hill Country guest home also has a covered patio out front, perfect for morning coffee, with a vintage Wild West-era carriage out in front of the Inn. The cottage also has its own private patio and fire pit!
The Carriage House Inn is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, so you're welcome to bring along small, well-behaved dogs. There's also private and covered parking on the property, as well as on-street parking close by.

This property was perfect for our group. We all had separate rooms and there was plenty of space. It’s near the main area of Bandera and within walking district from several places to eat and drink. Will definitely stay here again.
