What riders say about Bandera stables
I LOVED THIS PLACE. my wife and I came for Valentine's getaway, stayed the night before Valentine's day we know booking the day of would be crazy. And it was bless the cowboys and horses.
From reservations to checkout, our stay was a five-star experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and accommodating. The cabins were beautifully rustic with modern amenities and air-conditioning. We enjoyed three delicious, home-cooked meals daily, with complimentary beer, wine, and soda.
We had the most wonderful time staying the wknd at the ranch. Harriet was amazing, very informative & accommodating! The horses were obviously well cared for & loved! We got plenty of time on the horses as well as helping to groom, saddle & just simply pet & enjoy! Cabins were cuter than expected & cozy!
