Riverfront | Walk to Downtown Bandera | Pet Friendly | Sleeps 8 | Free Early Check-In (when available) | Free Hill Country Travel App

Perched in the heart of the Cowboy Capital of the World, 11th Street River House offers one of the most requested combinations in Bandera: walkable access to nightlife and shopping paired with access to the Medina River. This family- and pet-friendly vacation home is just a short walk from the iconic 11th Street Cowboy Bar, downtown shops, restaurants, and live music, while still providing a peaceful Hill Country setting.
A brief walk across a scenic meadow behind the home leads to the swimming, tubing, kayaking, and fishing opportunities of the Medina River. River access involves steps that can be steep, and for guest safety, a signed release of liability is required. Covered parking is available on-site, and motorcycles are welcome.

The fenced backyard is ideal for families and pets, featuring a fire pit with seating for evening gatherings and snack roasting. 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 evenings.

Inside, the home is bright and comfortable, with natural light throughout and year-round climate control via central air conditioning and ceiling fans. The spacious living area includes a large-screen TV (Roku-ready for streaming), and the fully equipped kitchen offers modern appliances, cookware, and table service for eight, with a dining area conveniently nearby. Wi-Fi is available throughout the home, and family-friendly extras such as baby toys, a pack-and-play, and highchairs are provided.

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

Hill Country river levels vary based on rainfall. Event and holiday weekends may require a minimum stay.
