The Spirit of the Hill Country: Where Texas History and Adventure Meet

There’s a certain feeling you get when you step into the Texas Hill Country — a quiet mix of wonder, freedom, and belonging. Maybe it’s the wide skies that stretch forever, or the way the hills catch the evening light just right. Maybe it’s the old stone towns, where history whispers through limestone walls, or the rivers that carve their way patiently through time. Whatever it is, this place has a spirit all its own. It’s rugged yet graceful, wild yet welcoming — the kind of place that invites you to explore, stay a while, and remember what life feels like when it’s simple and real.

The salt Block what can I say? I have stayed there a lot of times. The only thing I can complain about is even really a complaint. The porch light in room 3 didn't work. But the fact you are steps away from main street and food in all directions and can walk is worth it. I was there for another concert at the 11th street cowboy bar which is right across the street. Since I was staying there not only was the concert within walking distance I got to hear the person I went to see sing and warm up from the bench in front of my room door. So not only a small show at 3 in the afternoon but then the short walk to the actual concert. I have now stayed in 3 of the 6 rooms there and every one of them have their own unique style. I believe they only offer 5 of the rooms for rent now but they are all worth it.

Best place to stay when in Bandera. Right in the heart of downtown Bandera. Right across the Cowboy Bar. Beautiful place that makes you feel at home.
Tessica
The property was clean, nicely decorated, very efficient, close proximity to everything! This was our first time staying in this property and we will definitely be staying again!
Joe
Great place close to downtown and will definitely visit again for the other motif rooms.
April
We booked Salt Block - French Serenity Suite 3 in Bandera only minutes before our arrival. The host, Spencer, was friendly. We had not planned on staying overnight in Bandera, but after we realized the concert we had planned to attend at 11th Street Cowboy Bar didn't begin until 10pm, we decided to look for a nearby hotel or airbnb. This place is within a few feet of the Cowboy Bar. Perfect if you want to have a drink and not worry about driving. Clean, comfortable beds. Safe location. COLD AC!
Trixie
Salt Block was perfect for our family’s 3 day stay in Bandera! We will definitely stay again.
