Lonesome Dove · 1915 Cabin Across From 11th St

Short Description

A one-bedroom 1915 guest house in Bandera, directly across the street from the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. Barn wood inside, hitching posts out front, Main Street a walk away. Sleeps 4.

Property Description

Lonesome Dove sits directly across the street from the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. Main Street's shops and restaurants are a walk away, and Bandera City Park on the Medina River is about a block and a half.

The building dates to 1915 and has been restored with a warm barn wood interior. The bedroom has a queen bed and its own Roku TV, and a queen pull-out couch in the living area makes room for two more, with a second Roku TV. The bathroom has a large walk-in shower. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a K-cup coffee maker. Central air and heat, Wi-Fi and good cell service are all here, and linens are provided.

Out front, a shaded porch has a table and seating, and the old hitching posts are still there. From the porch, Bandera goes by.

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
What we tell people about Lonesome Dove is that it is small on purpose. It is a 1915 building restored with a barn wood interior, and vintage hitching posts still stand out front. It is built for a couple, not a group. Plenty of guests who stay once book it again.

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.

Perfect place to stay if you want to visit Bandera. Walking distance to Main Street and across the street from 11th Street Cowboy Bar and The Trail Boss restaurant
Paula
Backroad Reservations is awesome to book your stay in the Bandera (and surrounding areas). Spencer is great! I love that they have an app and make the instructions and house information easy and detailed so you can plan accordingly. We stayed in the Lonesome Dove directly across from 11th Street Cowboy Bar and it was super cute! We will be staying there again the night of our wedding.
