The Cowboy Capital of the World: Why Bandera Still Rides Tall

There are towns in Texas with cowboy roots — and then there’s Bandera. Nestled along the Medina River, surrounded by rolling hills and wide-open ranchland, Bandera isn’t just proud of its heritage — it lives it every day. Known far and wide as the Cowboy Capital of the World, Bandera embodies the spirit of the Old West with a genuine authenticity that’s getting harder to find. Here, boots aren’t just for show, rodeos still pack the stands, and a handshake still means something.

Hill Country Wineries, Breweries, and Distilleries to Visit This Fall

There’s a certain magic that sweeps across the Hill Country in fall — cooler air, golden light, and long afternoons meant for good company and a glass of something local. Over the past two decades, this region has blossomed into one of the country’s most exciting wine, beer, and spirits destinations. From the rolling vineyards of Fredericksburg to the tucked-away distilleries near Blanco and Dripping Springs, the Hill Country pours hospitality by the glass.

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.

David
The Carriage House is kind of a cool old structure. It was located near Main Street of Bandera. Many shops, bars and restaurants near by. We were amazed of how many deer came to visit the neighborhood. So neat to watch them. I would definitely stay there again.
Brandy
This place is so neat! Our whole family loved it. So close to everything but still tucked away. The decor was so neat for a trip to Bandera. It has the best bathtub I’ve ever been in! Our family felt like we were living in the old days, which fit the theme of the town. The hosts are so accommodating. Great kitchen. Close to everything, so easy to walk back and forth even just to use the bathroom. It’s very close to 11th at Cowboy Bar. If there’s a band, you’ll hear the music at night. Wasn’t loud enough to keep us up, though. And largely blocked out by the sound of the air conditioner. But it is really nice to skip the crowd (and if you have kids that can’t go in the bar)- you can sit on your tailgate or in the courtyard and listen to the music. We even danced in the street beside the house! It was just fantastic! We will definitely stay here again! It’s our new favorite place to stay in Bandera.
Chris
Great clean old apartment/units. Loved the location of the facility. Close to the active part of the community.
Angela
Best place to be when visiting 11st Cowboy Bar.
Peggy
My group booked this property for the weekend of the Thunder in the Hills Rally. It was in the perfect location. We were able to walk most places that we wanted to. The covered the parking for the bikes was greatly appreciated. The room was spacious and clean. The downstairs seating area was perfect for the evening. I loved this place!
Becky
Perfect location just behind 11th Street Bar. Loud music at night but we were forwarned. Great management. Perfect for us‼️
