We loved our cabin and Tracy at the office was very informative, friendly and welcoming. The cabin was clean and had a nice kitchenette with a sink and everything we could have needed was furnished in the cabin. We could walk to the park and river across the street as well as to shops, bars and restaurants. We also liked the visit from the ducks, geese and deer and we were given a baggie of dried corn to feed them. We would definitely recommend The Vaquero for a stay in Bandera.

Liked the private cabins. Didn’t like the road noise but we were in #11. I’m sure many of the others weren’t as susceptible to the road noise as they were much further away. But the white noise unit at bedside hmmmm Elle’s a lot. We’ll come again!
