Downtown Bandera Suite | Pet Friendly | Sleeps 4 | Free Early Check-In (when available) | Free Hill Country Travel App

The Texas Salt Co. invites you to experience Bandera at The Rustic suite at Salt Block! This brand-new guest suite accommodates up to four people, and is kid and pet-friendly, too. Every suite at the Salt Block is built around a charming theme that evokes a personality all its own. Discover one of the most popular towns in the Hill Country with a prime location in the Cowboy Capital of the World. It's close to nightlife and attractions, and is practically in the shadow of the iconic water tower!

Thousands flock to Bandera for a genuine cowboy experience, and The Rustic is as great a spot in town as you're going to find! It's a ground floor guest rental right downtown, with shops, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance; as a matter of fact, the popular 11th Street Cowboy Bar is across the street! In addition, the biggest water attraction in town, the Medina River, is less than a mile away. While all the suites at Salt Block are well-insulated, please note it's in a vibrant and active neighborhood that can be noisy.

Bandera's own Texas Salt Co. will provide a flavorful touch of their award-winning smoked salts and spices to every suite at the Salt Block! Your kitchen at The Rustic suite will feature a complementary signature smoked products to sample, including their Cowboy Salt, Sea Salt, and Black Pepper. An on-site retail location is in the works, too! By the way, if you have a larger group of people who'd like to visit Bandera, let us know; there are three other guest suites at the Salt Block beyond The Rustic! Your suite rental includes an on-property parking spot, with additional street parking available; motorcycles are welcome!

Every aspect of The Rustic is new, from central AC and heat to tasteful decor, reflecting an inviting combo of modern and rustic touches. There's a spacious and relaxing living area, complete with a Roku-ready smart TV; and a full kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a fridge, stove and oven combo, and dishwasher. There's even a coffee station to brighten your mornings! Wifi service is available throughout the suite, as well.

Your Hill Country nights will be comfortable, too! There are two bedrooms at The Rustic, one with a plush and roomy queen-sized bed, the other with two twins. The suite also includes a sparkling-clean full bath with a spacious walk-in shower. Beds and bath all include a generous supply of clean and fresh linens.
