Wonderfully quaint and quiet. Perfect getaway and a great space for dogs.
This is our second time staying at this property. It's very cozy, comfy, quiet and peaceful! Perfect getaway from the city!
Stayed for July 4th weekend to participate in a large family event close by. Easily accomodated our family of 5 adults & baby grandson. AC, Wifi, security, view of the surrounding wildlife, & ease of being so close by were all super. Planning a return in December as well!
The Roost is that secret destination you keep looking for! It is a fantastic place to escape, enjoy nature, and watch wildlife from the big deck. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with all the basics you need. Dogs are pampered here too, with water bowls and beds ready for them upon arrival! This was our second year in a row to spend a family weekend - 7 adults and a dog, and we could not have a had a better time anywhere else.
Very cozy and comfortable with lots of nature and peace and quiet. Exactly the kind of getaway we were looking for.
Fantastic and very clean property. Perfect place for a long weekend relaxing with my kids away from the usual routine. The property has a secluded and very relaxed feeling. The birds and wildlife give you plenty to watch while relaxing on the large shaded back deck and gazebo. Very comfortable beds and my daughter said to mention the rugs in the house - she loved them. Easy drive into Bandera for any shopping or things you forgot, and an easy hour drive into San Antonio or to the Frio River, which we did both. Overall one of the best rental properties we've ever stayed at. We are already discussing when to go back next year!
Cozy Hill Country retreat. A short hike from the house reveals a beautiful gazebo with a stunning view of the surrounding hills.
Spent a week at this secluded property not far to out of Town. Enjoyed lots of wildlife. Lots of hummingbirds. Our pets loved the swims in the creek. Nice and quiet peaceful place.
We loved it and our dogs even more. The house has everything you need and more! The area is so peaceful and the owners/ renting company back doors representative was helpful and kind.
Great stay with lots of wildlife viewing. Great view from the perch. Owners are on property, but at the back and hidden from view. Very nice people that leave you alone to explore at your will. Went to Lost Maples Park and hiked the east trail. A must if you stay at this property. It is a somewhat tough trail, but well worth the views once you reach the highest points. Two other parks are also near, Natural State and Garner. I would recommend to anyone thinking about this property. You can also have a good time eating and shopping in Bandera. Dough Joe’s has fantastic pizza and the Old Forge has great homestyle food. The Cracked Mug is great for breakfast and Coffee. The best thing about Bandera is that no one cares about wearing a mask.
