River Rock Retreat · Kallionäkymät & koiratarha

River Rock Retreat is on three acres a few miles from downtown Bandera. Private access to the Medina River is at the back of the lot, about a five-minute walk, with the bluffs rising on the far side. Bandera's food, nightlife and antiquing are just down the road.



The house was fully remodeled and has a bright, open feel. The living, dining and kitchen areas are one open space, with a smart TV, a bar that seats four, a dining table for four and a kitchen with a dishwasher and a Keurig. Upstairs are all three bedrooms, each with a Roku TV, and a full bath with a tub and shower. A half bath with the washer and dryer is on the main floor. The primary bedroom has a workspace, and there is central air and heat, ceiling fans and Wi-Fi.



There are three places to sit outside: the deck off the primary bedroom, a lower deck with built-in benches and string lights, and a side patio with rocking chairs. Out back are a fire pit with six chairs, a charcoal grill and a giant checkerboard. Dogs are welcome, and there is an enclosed dog run.



Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

What we like about River Rock Retreat is how the house is arranged. All the bedrooms are upstairs, so the main floor stays open for the group, and the primary bedroom opens onto its own second-story deck. Across the river are the bluffs, and that upper deck is the place to look at them. Kids head straight for the giant checkerboard.
