About this property

Casa del Rio · On the Medina River, Sleeps 10

  • Casa del Rio sits on a quiet road above the Medina River outside Bandera, with lots of privacy and the river just below. Guests often say the water ran crystal clear during their stay.



    The house is roomy and spread out, so a big group never feels on top of itself. There are four bedrooms, including a king room and a bunk room, three full bathrooms and two separate living areas. The kitchen is fully equipped, extra futons give a big group some flexibility, and there is Wi-Fi, good cell service, central air and heat. The decor is fun and eclectic.



    Three shaded decks look out over the water, with plenty of seating and a charcoal grill. Mornings are for coffee on the deck and walks along the river. Deer are regular visitors. Some families have come back year after year.



    Early check-in may be possible; ask us. Every stay comes with the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



    WHY WE LIKE IT

    Casa del Rio is one of our favorites for big groups that want the river. The access is about as good as it gets on the Medina, and because the house is in a river community, you can walk up and down the river along the banks. The house has an extra casita too, rented separately, which helps when the group grows.

    SLEEPING

    Bedroom 1: king bed and double bed

    Bedroom 2: queen bed

    Bedroom 3: queen bed

    Bunk room: double bed and two twin beds

    Three full bathrooms



    GOOD TO KNOW

    The house sits on a bluff with several interior levels. The steps down to the meadow and river are steep and uneven, without consistent handrails, so guests must be comfortable on stairs.

    Children must be 5 or older.

    The casita on the property is booked separately and sleeps 2.

    Pets are welcome; any pet fee is shown when you book.

    Check-in is 3 PM and check-out is 11 AM.

The perfect Bandera eclectic river house

We had an amazing stay with friends at this eclectic river house. It is located on a very quiet road with lots of privacy. Plenty of space with three bathrooms and spread out so everyone had plenty of space. The kitchen is fully equiped and everything we needed. The view from the back balcony was perfect. At dusk saw many deer and so peaceful. I would highly recommend this house. We will be back for sure

Great location, unique home

We had a wonderful stay and loved the home and the location on the Medina river. My only feedback would be to make it a little more explicit in the listing that the back porch hangs over a steep cliff with relatively low railings. it was referenced in the liability release but it would be good to include in the listing so folks traveling with small children (like us) are aware at the time of booking. Including a picture of the home from the River could suffice. We were wary of that the whole time because of our fearless 1 year old but all in all we enjoyed the home, the field for running around and the proximity to the river and walking trails.
