I really enjoyed all the birds and how close of a walk it was to the water. The host was very attentive and friendly. I hope to be returning soon. Thank you! ##### Danielle B. Stayed 2 nights in May 2025 Verified ### 10/10 Excellent #### Nicholas M. 18 Nov 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location I truly enjoyed my stay here. I loved having the river there, the peacefulness, and all the wildlife. I also love the dog friendly environment. Sorry one of my dogs wasn't very friendly. She is a rescue I just got maybe two months before we went and still needs more socialization. I wish I would have taken more time to see all the activities they offered, but I was there to spend time with family who lives in Bandera. This was still a wonderful stay and I plan on returning soon. However, I feel the listing is a little misleading. The pictures and phrasing, in the listing, make it sound like there are two small bedrooms. If you really pay attention, you catch a small sentence referring to it as a studio, but that seemed to be about it. Just know The Birdhouse is one open studio, not a two bedroom like the pictures made us expect. Other than that, thank you for the wonderful stay!!! Everything else was wonderful! The hosts were very kind, polite, and keep everything clean and tidy. I will be back for another stay. Hopefully sooner than later. ##### Nicholas M.
