About this property

11th Street River House

When we have guests visiting the Cowboy Capital of the World, two things stand out among their requests: closeness to the nightlife and shopping of Bandera, and access to the Medina River. With that said, we're delighted to present the 11th Street River House! It's a kid-friendly and pet-friendly vacation home on the river, and it's only a short walk to the 11th Street Cowboy Bar and all the shops and attractions of this great Hill Country town. It sleeps eight and is a perfect family getaway!

A two-minute walk across a pretty meadow behind the 11th Street River House leads you to the swimming, tubing, kayaking, and fishing fun of the Medina River! (Please keep in mind the steps to the river are a little steep, and for your well-being and ours a signed release of liability is required to stay here.) Covered parking is on-site for your vehicles, and motorcycles are welcome!

The backyard here is fenced for the safety of your little ones and pets, and there's a great fire pit for socializing and snack roasting, surrounded by outdoor chairs. There's a large double-sized picnic table back there, too, and a big charcoal grill and smoker combo for BBQ feasts (all you need to supply is charcoal and lighter fluid). For open-air relaxation, you'll find a screened and shaded patio out back, complete with rocking chairs and decorative hanging lights to add a little sparkle to your evenings.

The natural-light-infused interior of the 11th Street River House is climate-controlled year-round with central air and ceiling fans, and the spacious and comfortable living area features a large-screen TV that's Roku-ready for streaming your favorites! Plenty of modern appliances, cookware, and table service for eight, round out the amenities of the full kitchen, with a dining area conveniently nearby. There are even baby toys and a highchair available for your youngest bundle of joy! Wifi Internet service supplies connectivity to the whole house, too.

With a complement of three bedrooms and six beds (one king, one queen, and four twins), all in your crew are assured comfortable and restful nights here! All sleeping spaces are draped in fresh linens as part of your stay, and bath linens, as well as necessities, are included in both full baths. The master bath includes a roomy shower stall, and the hallway bath features a shower and tub combo, highlighted by a classic clawfoot tub! You'll also find a walk-in laundry room for even more cleanup convenience.

Pros & Cons

The house itself was fine, nothing special but adequate for our two-night stay. Though compact, the kitchen was pretty well appointed and we were able to make our Thanksgiving side dishes. Be advised there is no dishwasher. Also, decent coffee mugs are needed! When we arrived, the house had not been cleaned. Spencer was very apologetic and got a couple over later that evening to do a quick cleaning. The house was better but not spotless. Spencer comped us one night due to the cleaning schedule mix-up, which was much appreciated. The street is super noisy—loud motor noises from the grocery across the street and lots of motorcycles. That could be a problem for fussy sleepers and napping babies. As advertised, the back yard has a nice fire pit area, seating, long table, and dog proof fence. With the river access, I can see the house being a fun place during warm weather. I would give the house 4 stars but for it not being cleaned prior to our arrival.

Cute house with river access

We enjoyed the house and property greatly. As expected, the river was down, but it was still a lovely scene in the back of the property and we took advantage of walking around and enjoying the outdoors. The house is adorable, and well equipped. The only minor thing to be aware of is the noise from the grocery store coolers; you get used to it, but it's a constant hum like a lawn mower. Overall, highly recommend this location for adults and families with older kids!

11th Street House Bandera Texas

House was comfortable for our small group. Older home but well updated. Challenging route to the river via a long wood staircase and some distance across mildly grown up bottom land. The Medina is one of the prettiest rivers in Texas. Not at it’s best during this long dry period we’re having. The host was very responsive and the house was very clean. The area pleasantly surprised us with two very interesting museums, fun shops and solid small town Texas restaurants. 15 minutes to Medina,Tx for apple cinnamon soft serve at Love’s Apple Store and about 20 minutes to Camp Verde for a nice restaurant/store and beautiful grounds to enjoy. Our trip was a success!

Wonderful Home in the Heart of the City

We greatly enjoyed our stay in the 11th Street River House. The house was immaculate and had a great layout, so you can tell the owners take a lot of pride in their property. The river access was a little further of a walk than we expected, but the location was excellent. All of the places we wanted to go to were within and walking distance. We had a great stay and will definitely be coming back!

Bandera stay

Comfortable house. It did not have k-cup as advertised and the yard needed to be cut. We really weren't there except to sleep and clean up. Everything overall was good. Lots of different levels to negotiate getting in and out of the house. Not old people friendly.

Thoughtful touches for stay away from home

The home was perfect and exactly what was expected. The kitchen included everything needed. The living and dining rooms were comfortable. Nice touches like soft blankets for the unexpected cold snap and wonderful towels. We had a great time. Thank you - Barbara
