Bandera Salt Block · 4 Suites Downtown, Sleeps 16

Short Description

The whole Salt Block building in downtown Bandera: four suites, eight bedrooms and four kitchens, a short walk from Main Street. Each suite has its own entrance and parking spot. Sleeps 16.

Property Description

The Salt Block is a renovated two-story building in downtown Bandera, near the water tower and around the corner from the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. Shops, restaurants and attractions are within walking distance, and the Medina River, for tubing, kayaking, fishing and swimming, is less than a mile away. Salt Block guests get a discount at Salty's Texas Provisions in town, a shop for gifts and things made in Texas.

The building holds four suites, two on the ground floor and two upstairs, each with its own private entrance and its own theme: The Rustic, French Serenity, The Cowboy and Santa Fe. Every suite has two bedrooms, a full bath with a walk-in shower, central air and heat, ceiling fans, a smart TV and Wi-Fi. Toiletries and linens are provided.

Each suite also has its own full kitchen with new appliances, a microwave and a dishwasher. The ground-floor kitchens have coffee stations, and every kitchen comes stocked with smoked salts and spices from a local salt maker.

Every suite has a dedicated parking spot on the property, with street parking for extra cars, and motorcycles are welcome. Pets are welcome in all four suites.

Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.

WHY WE LIKE IT
When a group calls wanting to stay together in town, this is where we start. Renting the whole Salt Block gives you four separate suites under one roof, each with its own entrance, kitchen and bath. Families can spread out without anyone sharing a bathroom with sixteen people. Pets are welcome in all four suites.
