About this property
River Bend Hideaway on Medina
This amazing property is located just outside the quaint town of Medina, Texas and boasts over 680 feet of sparkling clear Medina River.
If you're looking for a beautiful place where a large group can enjoy the best the Hill Country has to offer, we've got the perfect kid-friendly, pet-friendly, and budget-friendly family weekend getaway! The River Bend Hideaway is right on the Medina River, where you'll have private access to the tubing, fishing, and swimming this area's famous for. This countryside roost is also close to great towns like Bandera and Medina, so you'll be close to great food, shopping, night life, and events!
There's space here to accommodate up to 13 guests, but this spacious home is perched on ten gorgeous Hill Country acres, so everyone will have plenty of elbow room! It's easily one of the best guest houses in the Bandera area, a waterfront cabin getaway loaded with amenities and extras, all in a rural setting that's relaxing and exciting all at the same time. The grounds are ideal for wildlife watching, hiking, and stargazing, too!
The River Bend Hideaway has two shaded porches, both with comfy outdoor furniture, where you can rest and savor views of the mountainous countryside and the nearby Medina River. The charcoal grill on-site allows you to test your BBQ skills; there's nothing like a hearty meal after a day on the river! While bed and bath linens are included during your stay, your hosts at River Bend ask that guests bring their own towels for use on the river. If there are smokers in your crew, they're allowed to light up, but outside only, please.
Gleaming light and dark woodwork makes the interior shine, along with plenty of natural light. There's an enormous living area and dining area, a bar island with stools, and a generously equipped kitchen, including a washer and dryer alcove right next to the kitchen. Cutlery, glasses, cookware and serving ware for your meals are included, too! Both full bathrooms in the home have showers, and the three bedrooms with seven plush and restful beds provide great sleeping arrangements for up to a baker's dozen. Ceiling fans, and central air and heating throughout the home, guarantee a comfortable indoor environment. There are satellite TVs in the master bedroom and living area, Wifi Internet service is available, and cell phone coverage in the area is good, too.
Call Backroads Reservations today to book this popular Hill Country vacation retreat! You'll get riverside luxury and extras at great and affordable rates.
