Well let's just say we absolutely plan on returning. Friendly staff, clean room, comfortable bed, across from a county park, pet friendly and loved the front porch to sit and relax.
2-night trip

10/10

We enjoyed our brief stay the staff were friendly and helpful, the location great to walk into town. Our only issue was the AC which was incredibly noisy and difficult to regulate. Despite this we loved our stay.

It was a great hotel, and it will be my main place to stay in the area. It is a short walk to restaurants and bars. It is short drive everywhere. It was a cute place that my wife will love.

The stay was fabulous. Very clean and super cute cabin by the river and in town for walking distance to all the shops and bars. Super nice friendly service when arrived. Definitely would stay there again

Great service, great price, beautiful location - you can see the Medina river, and tale a walk by the river - right across the street from the cabins. We walked to the restaurants on the main street - just minutes away, walking. Beautiful country!

Really cool place near downtown and the river. Lots of amenities like outdoor sitting areas, your own fire pit and a big BBQ grill. Very clean and super helpful management. We liked the area so much we booked an additional night.

This is a very nice cabin atmosphere, directly across the beautiful park of the Medina river, with a full kitchen and very comfortable bed and nice shower. The only thing I would mention to be aware there is a $75 pet fee, which I think is steep versus other places.

The Vaquero was very comfortable for my best friend and me for a 1-night stay while we were on a Texas State Parks hiking weekend between Enchanted Rock and Lost Maples. The front desk staff was the best!

Clean room with rustic decor that is very Texan. We only stayed one night, but it was cold and the heater in The room (which Looks like a window air conditioner) was very noisy.
