When guests visit the Cowboy Capital of the World, two things consistently top their wish list: walkable access to Bandera’s nightlife and shopping, and time on the Medina River. With that in mind, 11th Street River House delivers both.

This family- and pet-friendly river home is located just a short walk from the iconic 11th Street Cowboy Bar, downtown shops, restaurants, and live music. At the same time, a brief walk across a scenic meadow brings you to the swimming, tubing, kayaking, and fishing fun of the Medina River — a rare combination of in-town convenience and river access.

The fenced backyard is ideal for kids and pets, with a fire pit surrounded by outdoor seating for evening gatherings and stargazing. A large picnic table and charcoal grill/smoker make outdoor meals easy, while the screened and shaded back porch offers rocking chairs and decorative string lights for relaxed mornings and cozy evenings.

Inside, the home is bright and comfortable, with central air conditioning, ceiling fans, and a spacious living area featuring a large-screen Roku-ready TV. The fully equipped kitchen includes modern appliances, cookware, and table service for eight, with a dining area conveniently nearby. Wi-Fi is available throughout the home, and family extras like baby toys, a pack-n-play, and highchairs are provided.

Sleeping arrangements include three bedrooms and six beds, comfortably accommodating up to eight guests. The primary bedroom features a king bed and en-suite bathroom with a roomy shower. The second bedroom offers a queen bed, while the third bedroom includes two trundle beds (four twin beds total), making it perfect for kids or additional guests. Fresh bed and bath linens are provided, and a second full bathroom features a shower/tub combination highlighted by a classic clawfoot tub. A walk-in laundry room adds extra convenience for longer stays.

River access involves steps that can be steep, and a signed release of liability is required prior to arrival. Hill Country river levels vary depending on rainfall.

Hosted and professionally managed by Backroads Hill Country, a local Hill Country company focused on quality, comfort, and exceptional guest experiences.
