Property Description

Some travelers love the Texas Hill Country for its shops, nightlife, and in-town attractions; others prefer the access to breathtaking views and natural settings. Both will love the fresh country air and farm-style setting of Lucky Star Ranch Shooting Star cabin! It has everything from friendly domestic animals that love attention from visitors to state parks and natural areas that are close by for exploration. Our "townie" visitors will love that great places like Bandera and Hondo are close, too!

The Lucky Star Ranch is a must for nature lovers, with its trees and Hill Country views! What's more, though, is the Hill Country State Natural Area is just three miles down the road; it's a wonderful place to hike, ride horseback, and admire wildlife. The Lost Maples State Natural Area and Garner State Park are both within an hour's drive from your cabin, as well!

It's hard to find a more animal-friendly vacation rental than Lucky Star Ranch Shooting Star cabin! The friendly goats, chickens, and ducks on the property love to be pet, and one of the "stars" is a dwarf Nigerian goat named Baby, who won first place in the Bandera 4th of July Pet Parade. There are horses you can pet, too, but not ride; however, boarding is available for your own horse. Check with us for details; a negative Coggins test is required. You can bring along a pet, as long as they get along with farm animals and are leashed on the property; limit one pet per cabin.

Amenities begin before you even enter your guest cabin! There's a shaded porch with rocking chairs for relaxing outside, perfect for morning coffee or a nightcap. Picnic tables and a charcoal grill are here for your favorite BBQ recipes, and a fire pit (firewood included) for s'mores and conversation. Laundry facilities are also available. Keep in mind outdoor extras and games are shared with two other cabins at Lucky Star. If you'd like to bring a larger group, the three cabins here sleep up to nine!

Golden woodwork and natural light fills Lucky Star Ranch Shooting Star cabin's interior, arranged in a studio layout with a bedroom, dining nook and kitchenette. The plush queen-sized bed sleeps two, and you can add a rollaway bed for one more person. The kitchenette includes a fridge, a microwave that doubles as a regular oven, a Keurig coffee maker, and basic utensils and serving ware. A Roku-ready smart TV is on hand, too, as well as Wifi service and efficient heating and cooling units. You'll have a clean full bath with a shower stall, and fresh linens are provided for both bed and bath.

Arili
This was probably my favorite Airbnb experience. Beautiful property with the most responsive/friendliest host. She took us out back for an animal feeding and made sure to recommend great experiences/food in the area. The place was beautiful and we felt right at home. The views were amazing from this little place. If you’re trying to get away from city life, this is definitely for you! Will definitely be back!
Niki
We had a lovely time at the cabin! Our favorite part of our stay was the goats, horses, and other animals on the ranch! The inside of the cabin was cute and had everything we needed. The hosts were very responsive and had plenty of local recommendations.
Victoria
Lovely little cabin, immaculately presented in a quiet and private location. The host has done a superb job and the cabin comes with lots of lovely little touches. We were looking for somewhere remote…
Dr. Ceci
This sweet cabin is great for those wanting R&R, peace and quiet, away from city noise, activities, and lights. It's a "Dark Sky" kind of location, off the beaten path and maybe 2 miles from the Hill Country State Natural Area for hikers and horseback riders. The cabin is as described and pictured. It's efficient and the living, kitchen, and bathroom are surprisingly well appointed. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom nice, and everything is clean with special touches around, like soft throw blankets, extra towels, and bathroom essentials. There is a bonafide table with 2 chairs for dining, computer work, or other activities. The AC worked well and wasn't too noisy. There is a large wall-mounted TV that's easy to sign into and use. The porch also has two comfy chairs for sitting outside. The keypad at gate entry of property had broken when I visited so there was minor confusion as to how to get in. Cabin property managers are very communicative and everything is clearly explained.
Gilbert
Great stay off the beaten path. Place was as described. If you love nature this is the place for you. We had our miniature Dachshund with us. He loved exploring and he was a hit with all folks in Bandera. We will definitely be back when the weather cools down. Thanks again.
Ryan
Beautiful place and perfect scenery!
