About this house rental
Get ready to spend your days playing in the river and stargazing from the deck at night. The location is right in downtown Bandera where you can walk to everything, sleeping accommodations for up to 13 guests and great river access.
One of the most unique features of the Bandera Box Guest House is that it has an out-in-the-country feel on a one-acre plot, yet it's right in downtown Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World! Perched right on the scenic and fun Medina River, this Hill Country hideaway is a kid-friendly and pet-friendly waterfront cabin that's ideal for a family getaway. When you combine its location, amenities, fantastic views, and accommodations for up to 13 people, your next vacation can truly have it all!
Just imagine: in one direction lies the shops, night life, eats, and events of Bandera; in the other, the tubing, kayaking, and swimming fun of the Medina River-and nature lovers will love spying the wildlife that frequents its shores, too. No matter what you have planned-from just kicking back to taking in everything you can-the Bandera Box is perfect for your weekend adventure! It's an ideal central point from which you can explore the very best of the Hill Country.
An absolutely huge two-level deck faces the river, and it's nicely tree-shaded and equipped with patio furniture and a picnic table. Steps curve from the deck to the meadow and riverfront below, providing easy access to waterside fun and leisurely walks. A gas fire pit and charcoal grill set the stage for conversation and fresh-air dining, as well. There's ample parking here for motorcycles and vehicles.
No luxurious detail has been overlooked inside, from the kitchen with modern commercial appliances, the central air and heating, washer/dryer combo, and three bedrooms with comfy sleeping arrangements for up to 13 people. Gorgeous woodwork graces the floors and walls, and there's tons of relaxing space, including a huge living room and a kitchen/dining space with three seating areas. Four full bathrooms all feature showers, with a shower and tub combo in the master bath. All bed and bath linens are included, as are cooking and serving ware, glasses, and utensils. Tech-wise, there are three computer work areas, Wifi Internet access throughout the house, cable TV, and great cell service.

My son and I traveled to Bandera with some friends of ours for a weekend getaway. We dove hunted nearby one evening, went to a couple of great restaurants, etc. People and accomodations in town were wonderful!

I wanted to reach out and express my sincere gratitude for the incredible vacation experience my family and I had at your rental property in Bandera, Tx.
Seem-less check in. Was great. The attention to detail was remarkable, and it made us feel instantly at home. The amenities provided were top-notch, ensuring that we had everything we needed for a comfortable stay.
The location of your rental property was si convenient. Being located so close to various attractions made our vacation all the more enjoyable. We were able to explore the local area, engage in outdoor activities, and create cherished memories together. All within walking distance.
I must commend your staff for their exceptional professionalism and responsiveness. They were always available to assist us with any inquiries or concerns, and their friendly demeanor added a personal touch to our experience. My daughter in law left an expensive bathing suit and we reached out to Spencer who quickly responded and got it in the mail to us. (Which we received 🤗)
Our only wish was there was water to get to in the river.
Once again, I want to express my heartfelt appreciation for providing us with such a wonderful vacation retreat. It was a much-needed escape that allowed us to relax, recharge, and bond as a family. Rest assured that we will highly recommend your rental property to our friends and family, and we hope to return for another memorable stay in the future.
Wishing you many more happy guests.

This is a great place for a big family or several friends to come together. The house is roomy with a huge deck outside. Beautiful views in the morning (nice place to have your coffee). It’s also well stocked with books, games, and kitchen supplies. Location is perfect for walking everywhere.

It was perfect for our group. This is our go to place when in the area. We will be booking again soon.

We came to Bandera for a concert. The Box House met the needs of our group and was walking distance to the concert venue.

Really great layout for two families with kids. Walked into town. Walk to the river (on property). Great open layout for the living room and kitchen to hangout.

House is great for a group. There was 7 guys down to ride motorcycles. House has lots of beds huge back patio limitless hot water so worked out perfect for a group. House was clean and had everything we needed to enjoy our stay. Perfect base for riding the hill country.

Our team had a wonderful stay

Every year a group of us ladies enjoy a trip out for Cowboy Mardi Gras. Being behind the grocery store proved to be more beneficial than bothersome - something we were worried about! The drive to the main part of town was easy & simple. We did not venture down to the river, but it looked easy enough.
The only thing we did not realize was that the queen room has a queen bunk & a pull out queen couch. It definitely was not a deal breaker by any means as the bunk room has plenty of space! The kitchen was well stocked & we enjoyed all the areas to be able to lounge. Thanks & we will probably be back next time!

I would recommend the Box House for anyone looking for a clean, spacious rental. The home had everything we needed to cook our Thanksgiving meal and then enjoy time with family on the back patio. We loved the gas fire pit as it offered such a warm and welcoming get together. The one and only time I had to reach out to the Host - the response was quick and our question resolved.
4.7
We enjoyed the living and kitchen area. The beds were nice. Due to proximity to truck deliveries out front, sound machines in the bedrooms would help a lite sleeper. Update the welcome book. The information is well written but not all accurate. Our hosts were very nice and helpful.
4.7
My stay was short but very relaxing and comfortable while I was helping with a fundraiser. It is in close proximity to everything in town and conveniently walking distance to grocery store. The house was very roomy, clean, and quiet even though the street it’s in can get quite busy. I had friends pull up on their bikes and I wouldn’t here them till they knocked I. The door. I will definitely try to book this place again with family and friends.

The size of the home and the location was great for our annual dove hunt.

Very nice house but could not overcome the location. The house was clean and cute but our front doors faced dumpsters from a small grocer and the Burger King drive through window. We herd trucks all hours of the night and early morning. For some reason, the river had no current and a white film on the top - we tried swimming but didn’t feel comfortable. It was a very expensive weekend and never felt like a vacation.

Great time
We had a wonderful time splashing in the river and enjoying Bandera, the house was great.

Overall we had a great stay and the home was everything we anticipated. I think the home needs some attention from a pest control expert. We encountered numerous roaches through out the weekend. I also agree with previous comments about the A/C system. The main kitchen, dining, and family rooms, all cool very well, the bedrooms stay a little warm for my preference. Overall the property was great. Thanks.

Nice home. However, was listed as a 4br 4 1/2 bath. Was a 3 br 4 bath

Never judge a book by it’s cover
When we pulled up it didn’t look like much. The house looked smaller than I pictured, and was in need of a good lawn mowing. As soon as we opened the door all changed. The house was very large with more than enough beds and space. The kitchen had all commercial appliances which were great. Patio and fire pit were amazing. Just 2 complaints master shower had poor drainage so standing in water during shower. I don’t like that at all. Then you need satellite, cable, or at least a powered HD antenna on the roof so you can pick up some tv while relaxing. Great stay and I would stay again.

Beautiful home!
Great house to have a group of people at for sure! There wasn't access to the river unfortunately because it was too low (going through a dry spell at the moment so there was water but it looked kind of stagnant). Wish I had thought to bring my fishing pole though because the fish in there were pretty big! Patio is amazing in the evenings, house was perfect (we loved the kitchen!) It does get a bit hot/stuffy at night if you are used to dropping the temperature so come prepared for that. The night life around the area is fun to say the least though- some good cowboy bars. Please be aware that you are in the middle of town (this house is located behind a grocery store) so while you may not have great views in the front, you have wonderful views in the back. Also, bring something to watch TV with- there is a TV but no fire stick or anything unless you don't mind using your accounts and then closing them out before you go (it's a smart TV so you do have access to apps like Hulu and Netflix). All around- great time there!
