Red Cloud Cabin sits on the bank of a clear creek on Bandera Stronghold, a small wooded property outside Bandera shared by just three stays, with 500 feet of creek frontage between them. The water is right off the back deck.

Inside is a queen bedroom, a living area, a dining table, a full kitchen with an oven and range, cookware and a drip coffee maker, with coffee and tea provided, and a full bath with a tub and shower. Linens and towels are provided, along with air conditioning, heat, Wi-Fi and a good shelf of movies. It is a place couples come back to; more than a few guests have spent an anniversary or a Thanksgiving here, then booked again.

Outside are the private hot tub on the deck, a fire pit, a charcoal grill and a picnic table, and the yard is fully fenced. Floats and lawn chairs are available on request, and catch-and-release fishing is good when the creek is up. Deer and birds are constant company, and the stars are bright out here. Hill Country State Natural Area is about 25 minutes away.

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
Red Cloud has the one thing dog owners always ask us about: a fully fenced yard. It is right on the creek, so the dog can go from the yard to the water and back. And the hot tub is yours alone.
