The shaded front patio is a wonderful place to sip some morning coffee and plan your day.
"The house is perfectly situated by the river & they have everything to make it great off the river, too (fire pit, grill, screened in porch when the mosquitoes were bad). We'll be back again soon, I hope!" our guest Karen enthusiastically shared !
Our guest Jenn shared her thoughts about her recent visit: "This is a great place for families and an area rich with local history and beautiful landscapes."
Even the outdoor spaces here are comfortable and neat as a pin!
The enormous and tastefully-decorated living area features a working stone fireplace that adds a warm glow to chilly nights.
Our visitors love the place inside and out! "Everything was clean and the place had such a warm and inviting feel to it," our guest Marisa recently told us.
Bar stool seating by the kitchen island is just the spot for simple snacks and conversation!
Essential utensils are also included in our roomy country kitchen.
With an open floor plan between the kitchen and living area, the whole crew can keep up with the conversation, even while cooking!
Every inch of the interior is nice and clean, especially the bathrooms, where it's a must!
Warm woodwork and natural lighting complement the comfy king bed in the first bedroom. All the beds here are covered in fresh and soft linens, too.
No hustle and bustle getting to the river here! Your family will be pampered with private access.
Give the cooks in your group a literal moment in the sun! They can show off their BBQ skills on the charcoal grill.
The trees populating the grounds here serve as a backdrop for wildlife viewing, and are great spots for family photos, too!
This shady patio offers a bird's-eye view of the Hill Country, its wildlife, and the expansive Texas skies.
Just down this hill is your private access to the Medina River! Carefully navigate the steps down the hill, and tube, fish, and swim to your heart's content.
River Ridge's rural setting allows for unobstructed and unpolluted skies. As a result, the night stars and sunsets here are crystal-clear.
Another king-sized bed graces the second bedroom, both of which are relaxing places to wind down after an adventurous day.
The River Ridge Cabin also features central air and heat, Internet service, and satellite TV.
There's a convenient shower in the master bath, but what our guests tend to remember is the soothing Jacuzzi tub!
The big mirrored vanity and plenty of counter space in the master bath make your cleanup routine a pleasant and relaxing experience.
Two bunk bed sets in the third bedroom make it a fun and comfy kids' space! With three bedrooms, the cabin comfortably sleeps up to eight guests.
The screened patio invites all the views and breezes in that you want, but keeps the bugs you don't want at bay!
Rock away a quiet moment as you consider what to enjoy next in the big and beautiful Hill Country!
Our guest Karen had a great time here! "We loved everything about our stay and plan on coming back to this house specifically as it is the closest to the easiest access point of the river. Thank you for such an amazing time!"
Take home river memories, but not mildewed clothing! The washer and dryer here will keep everything clean and fresh.

OLD TUNNEL STATE PARK: A NATURAL WAY STATION

Midway between Fredericksburg and Comfort in the Texas Hill Country, you'll find Old Tunnel State Park . The park is a prime example of the blending of human and natural history, and offers an opportunity to visitors to see a unique and breathtaking natural display. Commerce and cargo used to pass through this railroad tunnel, but it's now home to some fascinating winged tenants.

PEDERNALES FALLS STATE PARK: WILD WATERS OF THE HILL COUNTRY

Just east of the historic Hill Country towns of Johnson City and Fredericksburg, guests can visit the sprawling Pedernales Falls State Park . The park includes over 5,200 acres of recreational space, the centerpiece of which is the Pedernales River itself. For fifty years and counting, this park (also referred to as “Pedernales Falls Park,” or simply “Pedernales Falls”) has provided a getaway for those seeking adventure on the water, hikers, nature lovers, and more.

KERRVILLE-SCHREINER PARK: WHERE KERRVILLE COMES TO PLAY

On the southern edge of the Hill Country town of Kerrville, you'll find one of the crown jewels in that town's civic pride: the Kerrville-Schreiner Park. Though it's occasionally referred to by its former name, “Kerrville State Park,” it's operated and maintained by the city's Parks and Recreation Department. It's the recreational heart of Kerrville, and has served as a popular gathering spot in the Hill Country since the early 20th century.

We had a wonderful mini vacation here. The cabin was cozy and welcoming with very lovely decor. We enjoyed watching the birds and wildlife (deer, armadillo, squirrels, and raccoons) come and go across the property. We loved going down to the river and then coming back to relax on the back porch and make s’mores on the fire pit. We couldn’t have had a better time. This was our first time in Bandera. We had takeout from the China Bowl and The Dough Joe. Both were very good. We also went hiking at the Hill Country Natural State Area. It was beautiful. This is a great place for families and an area rich with local history and beautiful landscapes. Our host was great at communicating important information and we loved the extra precautions to ensure that we had a safe stay. We’d love to visit again!

Was a great experience for my boys. Downfall was my parents couldn't experience their grandchildren by the river. We still had fun over the weekend.

Super spacious and comfortable!! It is accurate to say this is a ‘home away from home.’ House is quiet and private from surrounding homes. Watching deer eat corn in the front yard was very peaceful and entertaining! I would love to stay here again next year!
