Nothing accents the natural beauty of the Texas Hill Country better than a lake view vacation rental-and one of the prettiest you'll find hereabouts is the Lake Hiawatha Cottage, just a mile from downtown Bandera! It's got the charm of a home away from home, with tons of amenities and a location that gives you the best of both the great outdoors and the Cowboy Capital of the World. And nothing beats the tranquility of this lakeside setting, lined with beautiful trees as far as the eye can see!

Kids and adults alike love staying at this quaint family-style vacation rental! It's kid-friendly, of course, and there's plenty to see and do both on-site and in nearby Bandera. It's a welcoming, homey setting on the shores of Lake Hiawatha, which makes it the perfect setting to relax and decompress. You'll get every cent's worth of your vacation budget, and more!

A huge wraparound deck curves around the front and sides of the cottage, and it's shaded and equipped with plenty of furniture. There's a charcoal grill, too, for those open-air meals. Whether you'd like to take in the wildlife and Hill Country views, fish, or dip your toes in the cooling water, the outdoor lover in you will relish the peaceful surroundings here. There's even apple corn provided, so you can feed the deer that roam nearby! Smoking is allowed here, but outside only, please. Since the lake level varies by season, please check with us on this detail when you book.
