The cabin was clean, the host and owners were great, and the place was great. Water in the river is perfect depth and flow and kids and it was a very short walk to get down there. It was my first time being charged a pet fee for a service animal but it was only 25 so it wasn’t terrible. Will definitely keep it on the favorites list!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Carol-anne & Lyn

Host profile image

Hello, I’m Carol-anne, my husband Lyn and I spent several years searching for a Hill Country hideout. After not being able to find anything that would meet our needs we had all but given up on the idea. So we decided we should just buy ourselves an RV and go wherever the wind blew us. In 2016 we did just that! We bought ourselves “The Land Yacht” as I have come to call our Heartland Cyclone. We spent 2016 and 2017 touring the country. In February 2017 we decided to attend the “Cowboy Mardi Gras” in Bandera, TX and found a great spot to camp on Lake Medina. My dad joined us on that trip and I think we all kind of fell in love with the place! Lyn and I (always dreaming) decided to look and see what sort of real estate there was around the lake. We have always argued about lake vs. river. Lyn likes the lake and I like the river. Anyway, after some searching online we decided to go up in person one day and just “look”. Well.......long story short. The first place we looked at was Boulderdash, it met all our needs. Boulderdash came complete with 2 acres on the river at the mouth of Lake Medina. It had a cabin already on it that was built in 2009 and 5 RV hookups. PERFECT! We listed the cabin as a vacation rental and started to refurbish the RV hookups and sites. We needed to be able to accommodate ourselves and maybe someone to manage the place. In 2018 the lot next to ours became available, so after much discussion, what started out as a temporary rental became a full blown campground, as well as the site of our forever home which we have spent 2023 building! It continues to exceeded our expectations and has become a place full of fun memories.

Why they chose this property

This was where we wanted to retire. The views here are amazing, and although the river levels vary widely, the Medina river with its boulders and limestone bottom is always beautiful to look at! We also love all the wildlife here!

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.
