    Thousands flock to Bandera for a genuine cowboy experience, and French Serenity is as great a spot in town as you're going to find! It's a ground floor guest rental right downtown, with shops, restaurants, and attractions within walking distance; as a matter of fact, the popular 11th Street Cowboy Bar is across the street! In addition, the biggest water attraction in town, the Medina River, is less than a mile away. While all the suites at Salt Block are well-insulated, please note it's in a vibrant and active neighborhood that can be noisy.



    Bandera's own Texas Salt Co. will provide a flavorful touch of their award-winning smoked salts and spices to every suite at the Salt Block! Your kitchen at French Serenity will feature a complementary signature smoked products to sample, including their Cowboy Salt, Sea Salt, and Black Pepper. An on-site retail location is in the works, too! By the way, if you have a larger group of people who'd like to visit Bandera, let us know; there are three other guest suites at the Salt Block beyond French Serenity! Your suite rental includes an on-property parking spot, with additional street parking available; motorcycles are welcome!



    Every aspect of French Serenity is new, from central AC and heat to tasteful decor, reflecting an inviting combo of modern and rustic touches. There's a spacious and relaxing living area, complete with a Roku-ready smart TV; and a full kitchen equipped with new stainless steel appliances, including a fridge, stove and oven combo, and dishwasher. There's even a coffee station to brighten your mornings! Wifi service is available throughout the suite, as well.



    Your Hill Country nights will be comfortable, too! There are two bedrooms at French Serenity, each with a plush and roomy queen-sized bed. The suite also includes a sparkling-clean full bath with a spacious walk-in shower. Beds and bath all include a generous supply of clean and fresh linens.



    The French Serenity suite at Salt Block is waiting to be discovered! Contact us at Backroads Hill Country to be among the first to experience this singular guest rental.

Very clean and well appointed

Everything about this location was perfect with one exception. The music that was out and around downtown was too loud. It could be heard in the room at night.

This our third time to stay at this location. We love the rooms and the location in town…..always friendly and prompt response from the people over it. The only issue we have ever had is there is only 1 iron/ironing board for all 6 rooms. And the iron is suppose to be out back in the hall after use. The problem is people don’t put it back so we are out wearing clothes that are wrinkled after a 4 hour drive. I know it’s a small complaint but that it for these rooms.
