We enjoyed our stay here at the cabin and exploring around the river/stream. Unfortunately, the water levels are low, but we knew this coming in and we were able to put a few seats in the water and dip our toes in.The cabin had everything we needed, and we appreciate that they included some additional items like face wipes, hand, soaps, Q-tips, etc.Our family is used to being on well water so just wanna mention to families visiting …if you use the hot water you may have a sulfur type smell, which is completely normal. We like the proximity to Bandera and exploring the town. It’s a great little place to be if you’re trying to get away from the hustle and bustle.

Everything We Were Looking For

Couldn't have asked for a better host or nicer weekend getaway with family. The cabin was very clean and so well stocked - most towels of any place we've ever stayed! :) Great time, accommodations, and host.

Great getaway

Spotless cabin, comfy bed and stocked with everything you need. Thoughtful owners who obviously care about their guests. Lucky enough to have the whole place to ourselves and enjoyed the river, fires at night and all the great spots to relax. Especially loved feeding the deer that were feet from us as well as the birds and squirrels. Even saw a fox! We would definitely return, and you won't be disappointed with this beautiful spot.

Family friendly weekend getaway

This cabin was perfect for a group of 9. It had everything we needed and I appreciate the amount of towels available. There was great outdoor space on the porch and in front for safe kid friendly space. The kids had a blast and can’t wait to go back.

Beautiful scenery

We enjoyed the quiet peaceful atmosphere that this cabin had to offer. Even though the Medina water level is low, we were able find enough water to float on tubes and enjoy the natural surroundings. This place had everything we needed to cookout and a spacious porch to hang out in the morning. Carol and Lyn were great hostesses! We will definitely be back.

Holiday Away From Home

A rough-looking drive into the property, not in the owner's control, was offset by the setting when we arrived at the cabin. Quiet, secluded, well designed for relaxing on the porch watching deer and the creek view. Owners are delightful and set up a Christmas Day potluck for the campers and locals that was very nice. Strangers enjoying each other's company. Will return in a different season.

Our Eclipse experience was made immaculate by the setting of this gorgeous property & river access…. It was the perfect place for family & close friends to share experiences together and make memories. Lots of beds for everyone, a good kitchen for family meals, and the best spot for relaxing adventures…! Highly recommend!!!

What a delight!

We loved our stay in the cabin! The whole team was so friendly and helpful with any questions. They even helped us with our flat tire. The beds were clean, soft, and comfortable. The kitchen and bath were well stocked. Access to the river is quick and easy. We loved getting to feed to deer, birds, and squirrels. Our dog loved the large porch. We definitely plan to come back!

Beautiful Nature with the Conveniences of Home

We absolutely loved our stay in Carol-Anne & Lyn's cabin on the Medina!! They, Andrea, and the pups were so welcoming, kind, & helpful. Since this place is on the river, I had prepared myself for a lower expectation of cleanliness, but was I wrong & so pleasantly surprised. The cabin was incredibly clean & tidy! It had all the comforts of home when it came to the kitchen, so cooking and grilling was a breeze. Plenty of plush towels & extras. The beds were comfortable and the bedding was soft & inviting. The one private access bedroom was perfect for our adult daughter & the bunk beds were fun for our two little ones. We loved having coffee on the huge porch with the wildlife. This is such a safe & peaceful property. The river is a short trek away with plenty of spots to soak & explore. I was worried about finding a quiet spot on the river for the day, but it was the complete opposite. There is plenty of amazing riverfront to spread out from others, but also opportunities to say hi to other visitors if you like. The water was so clear with beautiful views! Our kids loved catching frogs & crawdads in the evenings. Bandera is nearby if you need anything, plus they have some needed items in the office for sale. We ordered pizza from the Dough Joe in town & it was excellent. Thank you so much for the wonderful vacation & for all your hospitality! Your efforts toward guest comfort & extras show! This was one of the best & most relaxing trips we have taken. Highly recommended!

Great stay - dog sitting too!

We had a fabulous time here! The house was cozy and clean and right next to the water. Our family loved building a rock dam and skipping rocks on the colder days and floating on the river in tubes on the warmer days. We went into San Antonio one day. Our dog stayed at the cabin. The owner took Penny out for a long walk for a very reasonable fee. It was great to know that Penny was taken care of while we were visiting the sites in San Antonio. Thank you!

Great cabin with awesome views

We very much enjoyed our stay. The views were great and there is plenty of room for kids to explore. The river was low, but that didn't dampen the fun we had. The location is a little secluded, but still close to State parks and the town of Bandera. All in all, if you want a peaceful spot, this is the place.

What a special place to relax and enjoy the Medina! The cabin was clean, very well equipped and so comfortable! The covered deck facing the river provided a lovely place to watch the birds, the river, and families enjoying this fantastic setting. My dog enjoyed it as much as I did! Best of all, the owners and the camp host were amazing.., welcoming and attentive. I would recommend Boulderdash cabin! I know I will be back as soon as I can!!
