Not for the price we paid, cabin #6 off of main street though not numbered was ok once we found it, kind of spooky location though. bed was ok. Walked into the bathroom and NO MIRROR. How does one get ready for anything without a mirror?

We were expecting for 90 dollars...a week night reasonable , couzy and comfortable cabins. We found probably 20 year old, never renovated extremely basic rooms, that were minimally insulated with visible holes along the entrance door trough which the freezing cold entered. This compares extremely unfavorably with any e.g. La Quinta hotel, where for 70 dollars a night you even... More

I came here to work I have never traveled to work and enjoyed a place so much. Clean room. Wonderful bed. Walking distance to town. Quiet!! Deer everywhere. I just cannot say enough good about this place.

If you want to stay in Bandera, there really are not many reasonable choices for lodging. We stayed at the Riverfront, and while the prices for the weekdays ($59) were reasonable, the weekend ($99) prices were too high. We were there for 5 nights and the room was never cleaned. They brought clean towels, but never emptied the garbage nor... More

Clean an comfortable cabins looking out onto the park and river. Very close to the town, cabins are spacious and cool. They contain all you need for your stay, fridge and microwave Loved the porch to relax on in the evening.

We've previously stayed in the River Front Motel cabins down on the river. This year they were all booked, so we opted for a suite at the Carriage House Inn just a block away (was directly behind the 11th street Cowboy Bar). The Inn is actually an old farm style house that is now 4 suites. We had a bedroom,... More

The cabins have been updated, the beds are comfy, the proximity to restaurants, bars and shopping can't be beat. We travel to Bandera on a motorcycle. The point of the trip being -- to wide the winding roads in the area. The River Front has always been out "go to" place, since the bike can be parked at the door,... More

Stayed here with friends, walked into Bandera in <5 mins. Quiet setting, and feel you have your own place rather than a hotel room. Would recommend.

There are not many places to stay in Bandera but this one is recommended. It consists of individual detached cabins (although numbers 6 and 7 are semi detached) close to the river and the park in Bandera. The cabins are basic with pine furniture but are kept very clean, and with the location are perfect for a short break in... More
