About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Welcome to Bandera Fortress - Crazy Horse Cabin

The Bandera Stronghold is located 5 miles from downtown Bandera on spring fed Mason Creek. Wildlife abounds on this heavily wooded 8.5 acres. The Crazy Horse cabin is adjacent to the host’s home, though very secluded. It features a full kitchen for "cooking/dining in" and is stocked w/ most needed utensils, condiments & coffee (since hosts are on site, they're happy to share anything you might need or have forgotten). The private back deck holds the hot tub and overlooks the beautiful creek. Crazy Horse cabin offers a queen bed, cozy dining for two in the kitchen, full bath with tub and shower combo, TV monitor with DVD player, central air and heat, charcoal grill, outdoor dining table & chairs. Your well behaved dog is welcome for an additional fee. All bed and bath linens are supplied. A roll away bed is available for a 3rd guest for an additional fee. (See our other cabin listing, property i.d. # 3926136, Red Cloud Cabin, if you need a 2nd cabin). Enjoy a day of catch and release fishing, bird and deer watching and a dip in the creek followed by an evening of stargazing as you soak in the hot tub. No telephone or WiFi, but decent AT&T cell service most of the time. Gravel base is suitable for motorcycles. Administrative fee covers the county taxes not collected by Home Away.

Wonderful creekside retreat!

What an amazing place to stay! We spent three nights at the cabin and enjoyed every minute of it. From the peaceful sound of the nearby creek, night time dips in the hot tub, watching the stars on the back deck, and coffee on the front porch...everything was pretty much perfect! If you want a nice, quiet and relaxing getaway, we would definitely recommend Bandera Stronghold. We certainly recommend this place and hope to return again.

Beautiful Property & Cabin!

We had a great getaway weekend at this cabin! We live in San Antonio so this was a quick drive and beautiful change of scenery. Everything about the cabin was well done. The interior is very new, clean and nice, and the patio and creek make you want to spend all of your time outside. To top it off, a dip in the hot tub on a cool night under the stars made it a beautiful experience. The owners are very nice and the check out process was a breeze! We'll definitely be back!

Refreshing Retreat

A perfect and relaxing getaway for our 28th anniversary! Breakfast on the patio over the majestic creekside with singing birds and the bubbling waters under sweeping and cascading trees. Afternoon floating in the creek...more like a river, relaxing in the sun. Evening time grilling on the patio and watching the sun set and then melting the day away in the hot tub. Then wrapping it to an end roasting marshmellows and smores over the firepit under the summer stars. Life just doesn't get any better than this. You'll want to stop in Bandera to shop and eat, hit the apple store for apple ice cream and jams and or go to Kerrville City park on the river, visit James Avery store and museum, then eat at The Ridge up the road. Garner, San Antonio, Utopio and Canyon Lake all within an hours drive. Great cabin retreat and great location. Amazing time: we'll be back. Trish and Jon do an amazing job taking care to add the little touches that make their place a real retreat. They put alot of thought into the details and the extras to make their guest feel welcomed to this cabin getaway. Caring host who give you privacy but are a call away. Thanks Trish & Jon for sharing your little piece of heaven on earth with us!

Lovely little creekside Cabin

I booked Crazy Horse cabin for my boyfriend and I over New Year's Weekend for 3 nights. We ended up having two friends unexpectedly join us and Patricia and Jon were so accommodating. They left extra cots which fit in the entryway which were a perfect and cozy fit for us. We brought our dog and our friends brought theirs and through miscommunication we must've forgotten to let Patricia and Jon know beforehand but again they were very understanding and accommodating. Even though we had four adults and two dogs in the cabin it was very cozy and we had a great weekend! The decks are large and the views are great so we spent a lot of time outside on the decks when the weather was nice. The dogs loved the little creek behind the cabin and we loved listening to the creek babble while enjoying the scenery. The cabin has everything you would need and is even cuter in person. The bed is remarkably comfortable for a cabin bed and there is even a tv with movies if you ever are inside enough to turn it on (we didn't). The kitchen has everything you need to make some awesome meals and there is a grill which you definitely will want to utilize if the weather is nice. The cabin is also close to lost maples and garner state park so after some hiking the hot tub was an awesome way to relax sore muscles. Patricia and Jon were too amazing and the nicest owners we have dealt with on Homeaway by far. I cannot recommend renting from them enough. If you are looking for a cabin for two people in the hill country this is the one! The only thing to note is that if it rains the driveway does get very muddy. You will want to bring extra pairs of shoes and make sure you have brought old clothes with you. Also very slick for driving so be sure to take that into account if the weather is supposed to be rainy.

Great little cabin. We took a long weekend and really enjoyed ourselves being lazy. The hot tub was the best part! It was so cool with the big tree limbs surrounding it. The Apple Store inMedina was great breakfast. Lost Maples a nice hike. Mac and Ernie’s in Tarpley a fun dinner.

We enjoyed our weekend in the cabin so much! Was impressed with how much water the creek had. Even put our kayaks in and paddled down the first evening. The view, the deck, the privacy, the hot tub, the firepit all were amazing. Lived outside b/c it was so great. The host was very responsive but gave us our privacy. I've bragged about this place and we will be back!

Friendly & Relaxing Experience

Hosts were respectful of our privacy... but again like friends we always wanted to have. Their hospitality was more than that... They make us feel st home away from home. Our puppy was the happiest ever... being able to run through the shallow waters of the creek. We thank them for the experience... and yes, we will come back again as THE BEST CUSTUMER IS A REPEAT CUSTOMER. Thank you Trish & Jon from Patricia & Ugo.
