I have stayed at The Last Outpost twice and have loved it both times! Joan, the owner, has been very welcoming and accommodating each time. I loved being greeted by all of the animals on the property- such a fun experience!

We loved Sophie's cottage at the Last Outpost. The cottage was quaint and comfortable and the seating area in the front yard was enjoyable. It is a working cattle ranch so we loved watching the impressive longhorns and their calves. They were very sociable, as were the chickens. The hosts were helpful and fun to talk to, especially about ranch life. Try to arrive before dark as the entrance to the property may be hard to find on the country road. It is close enough to visit Bandera and other towns and sites, but also isolated enough to be immersed in the beautiful countryside

As a writer who travelled with an artist, I have nothing but admiration for the cottage. The owner was completely pleasant, overall a wonderful woman who spoke with us and made sure we were safe. The property was absolutely magnificent, the cows and the chickens wake you up but it’s a beautiful sound. I hope to visit again and revisit the inspiration I was hit with upon arrival to the cottage.

We stayed at Sophie's Cottage the night before a trail race in Bandera. My heart skipped a beat when I discovered there was a field of longhorns - including babies!! - directly next to the cottage. There were also chickens running around, and horses! And a sweet kitty! What a dream! The entire property is gorgeous and the cottage was quaint and cozy. The clawfoot tub was pretty neat, too. I haven't taken a bath in YEARS so that was a cool treat. If you love animals and beautiful scenery, do not pass on this cottage
