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.
