Property Description

If you're planning a visit to Bandera for a large group of people, and ideally you'd like to keep them all together, the Carriage House Inn offers an ideal solution! It's within a block or two of most of the town's attractions (the 11th Street Cowboy Bar is right across the alley), and its five suites and separate cottage provide roomy accommodations for up to 25 people. You won't miss a minute of the action or adventure in the Cowboy Capital of the World when you stay at the Carriage House Inn!

The backyard of the Carriage House Inn is a wonderful gathering spot! It's furnished with plenty of outdoor seating, and there's also a charcoal pit for the creation of hearty Texas-style BBQ meals. Strings of outdoor lights add a magical touch to your evenings here, when you aren't out and about exploring Bandera, of course. This century-old Hill Country guest home also has a covered patio out front, perfect for morning coffee, with a vintage Wild West-era carriage out in front of the Inn. The cottage also has its own private patio and fire pit!

The Carriage House Inn is kid-friendly and pet-friendly, so you're welcome to bring along small, well-behaved dogs. There's also private and covered parking on the property, as well as on-street parking close by. Keep in mind Bandera is also home to tubing on the Medina River, and the Hill Country State Natural Area is just ten minutes away.

Hill Country history awaits you at the Carriage House Inn and its cottage, tastefully decorated with antiques from the cowboy era, perfectly in sync with Bandera's theme! The inn itself has five suites, named after Hill Country towns (Medina, Bandera, Hondo, Utopia, and Tarpley). All interiors have efficient box AC and space heating units for maximized comfort. Tech and entertainment needs are met with Wifi Internet service and satellite TVs in all six guest spaces.

The suites and cottage at the Carriage House Inn feature full kitchens, furnished with fridges, oven and stove combos, microwaves, toasters, and coffee makers. These full kitchens also include pots, pans, utensils, and glasses. (The only exception is the Utopia Suite, which has a mini fridge, microwave, and coffee station in its kitchenette.) All the suites, and the cottage, include full baths, with antique cast iron tubs in the Bandera and Hondo suites.

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 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.
