Add some Texas magic to your next visit to the Cowboy Capital of the World by booking a stay at the Cypress Star in Bandera! This is a spacious, kid and pet-friendly Hill Country vacation home with plush sleeping accommodations for up to a dozen people. It's nestled in a peaceful neighborhood setting that has a private, out-in-the-country feel to it, yet it's only a few blocks away from downtown Bandera, and attractions like the 11th Street Cowboy Bar and the splashing fun of the Medina River!

Cypress Star is a short walk to Bandera City Park, which accesses the Medina River for a modest fee. Additionally, you have the option to have fun with disc golf, visit a skateboard park, utilize two playgrounds, or embark on horseback rides offered by a nearby outfitter just two blocks away. This makes it one of our most popular vacation homes, but there's so much going on right on the property, you may find it hard to drag yourself away! The fenced backyard provides safety for kids and pets. There are shaded porches out front and back, adorned with outdoor furniture. And we're just getting started!

We have a pool room with a pool table for hours of indoor fun. Outside, you can entertain on the back porch with a built-in bar, beverage cooler, and Roku-equipped smart TV. There's also a fire pit and a pellet grill/smoker combo for outdoor cooking - and yes, firewood is provided! After sunset, snuggle up with your special someone under the string lights that twinkle over the patio and the grove - pure Hill Country magic.

Did we mention the cowboy pool It's open seasonally from March to October, and when it's filled, it's a must for a refreshing cowboy-style dip! And don't miss the croquet field in the grove, fully outfitted with equipment and even beer holders. (Please return the croquet gear to the house when you're done.)

The roomy interior offers comfort, thanks to central air (split mini units in the bunk room), and ceiling fans. There are two comfy seating areas, the larger of which has a Roku-equipped smart TV.There are two comfy seating areas, the larger of which has a Roku-equipped smart TV. The full kitchen includes all the appliances, cooking and serving ware, and utensils your crew will need, alongside a dining area and coffee bar. Added conveniences include Wifi Internet service and a washer and dryer.

Three bedrooms, along with an additional bunk room, provide great sleep space for up to a dozen people (please be aware the bunk room is only available for groups of more than six). That's one king-sized bed, two queens, and two sets of queen and twin bunk beds in all! The master bedroom and bunk room have their own smart TVs. Two spotlessly-clean full bathrooms are shared among the sleeping spaces, and have shower and tub combos for your cleanup needs. Fresh bed and bath linens are provided for everyone.

    Property was great. Just a few block from 11th street. Owners stayed in touch to make sure everything was great, and it was.

    The property was perfect for our group of seven. Plenty of space for everyone. The rooms were all cozy and well thought out with lots of “extras” which were appreciated. The backyard was beautiful and the perfect spot for hanging out. We would definitely return. My only gripe is that the property stated it slept 12 but after 4 guests there is a “per person” surcharge. Why does it matter as long as we are not going over the house limit? Anyway…great place.

    No sirens, no neighbors playing loud music, no barking dogs and no traffic jams! This home is very comfortable, even the beds! Kitchen is nicely stocked with all essentials. Bed linens are soft and cozy. Coffee bar is a nice touch. The back yard is fantastic and really enjoyable. We travel often and will consider staying here again

    This property was absolutely AMAZING! We booked for a family reunion and it did not disappoint! It was even better than we expected! Plenty of room and privacy for everyone.
