Great service, great price, beautiful location - you can see the Medina river, and tale a walk by the river - right across the street from the cabins. We walked to the restaurants on the main street - just minutes away, walking. Beautiful country!

Really cool place near downtown and the river. Lots of amenities like outdoor sitting areas, your own fire pit and a big BBQ grill. Very clean and super helpful management. We liked the area so much we booked an additional night.

This is a very nice cabin atmosphere, directly across the beautiful park of the Medina river, with a full kitchen and very comfortable bed and nice shower. The only thing I would mention to be aware there is a $75 pet fee, which I think is steep versus other places.

The Vaquero was very comfortable for my best friend and me for a 1-night stay while we were on a Texas State Parks hiking weekend between Enchanted Rock and Lost Maples. The front desk staff was the best!

Will Come Back
This is an adorable collection of 11 cabins -- All seem to be decorated and equipped differently, but ours was so nice inside: rustic and comfortable. Bedding was great, linens were nice, kitchen was well-equipped and the location was perfect! We were only there one night, but the central use area would have been fun, especially for multi-family or multi-friend groups. So Recommend It. (and it cost less than near-by hotel!)

Rumble on the River
It was a little two bed cottage, perfect for my needs. I was there for the Rumble on the River bike rally. After riding I could just come back and relax. I had neighbors on both sides very friendly.
