Frills Country resort is a great place to book for a family vacation!…read more However my family and I weren't aware of the water issue, we only had 1 hour to use the water then after that time period they'll shut it off, so we had to fill our tubs up with water to be prepared. [The front office did provide water jugs.] The water did stay on for more than 1 hour, only issue is the water pressure will go down a little bit. The cabin my family and I stayed at is "Lone-star". It is an amazing cabin, very big on the inside. Very clean, and organized. Every room in the house was perfect. I would say it fits 13people in there, but everybody had their own bed, and shower. There is no wifi which is not good, since they offer cable tv so it should've came with it in my opinion. Our neighbors were very friendly, great place! Overall we had the best time and loved the cabin... might go back this coming weekend again

There are lots of tables. *I wouldn't pay extra for the VIP area* - just get a reserved table if you want a seat. The crowd is a little different here. Not everyone stands up by the stage, probably because there is so much seating. That leaves plenty of room for dancing if that's your thing. The bar stations are spread out around the venue, so the lines never seemed too bad. They also let you come and go with a wristband, which is convenient.

The bar has a really cool vibe - old storefront with windows that open to the beer garden. Plenty of outdoor seating, food truck, and live music. We took a peek in the dance hall - smaller than Gruene or Mercer but looks like a fun place for a night out with friends! Definitely check out their upcoming shows to see who is playing (so far most of the music lineups are just for the beer garden). The bathrooms are outside and were clean at first but got dirty quickly. They desperately need to refill the soap dispensers! This is definitely a spot for local and bikers - so expect some smoking and engine noise. But overall a great place to relax under the giant oak tree.

"These days Luckenbach Texas is, to paraphrase John Steinbeck, a "State of Mind" - A Texas state of mind, where you can kick back, relax and get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life--like a step back in time." You can purchase tickets online or head over to the ticket booth if it isn't a sold out show. The monthly lineup usually includes your favorite local artists & in demand bands, special events, festivals & free shows! Even though Waylon & Willie's Luckenbach Texas wasn't actually based on the dance hall, their iconic lyrics did help make it famous. So turn up the volume and get Back to the Basics of Love as you make the trip out to see a show! You can even arrange a Willie Nelson tour to learn about the historic property If you really do love the Lone Star State, you might want to consider having your wedding or anniversary celebration at Luckenbach!

We booked Chalk Bluff River Resort for Labor Day weekend after we weren't able to get a cabin at…read moreGarner State Park. My wife had visited Chalk Bluff as a child, so there was also some nostalgia involved in choosing it for our family trip. We arrived late Friday night and immediately got a sense of how crowded the resort was. The neighboring cabin's occupants were parked in our designated spot, although they moved without any conflict when we arrived. Their front door was also immediately adjacent to ours, making the cabins feel very crowded together. Throughout the resort, there seemed to be a large number of people staying at each site. We expected a rustic cabin, but ours had some significant maintenance and cleanliness issues. We killed multiple large cockroaches shortly after arriving. Several lights were burned out, with an oddly placed LED light apparently being used to compensate for the poor lighting in one area. The air conditioner seemed undersized for the cabin and was unplugged when we arrived. The bathroom was particularly problematic. The hot and cold shower controls were individual faucet-style handles, one of which didn't operate properly, making it extremely difficult to regulate the shower temperature. The toilet mechanism was also damaged and had to be manually reset between uses. After a hot first night, we spent Saturday tubing the Frio and bought a box fan on the way back to improve the airflow in the cabin. We decided to stay another night because we wanted to spend Sunday actually exploring the resort. There were some things the kids enjoyed. The animal area was fun, although the giraffe and longhorns weren't accessible during our visit. The playground was okay, and the sturdy two-person metal swings were a hit. The river itself is wide and tranquil with some nice deeper areas, although the water wasn't nearly as clear as what we'd experienced on the Frio. On Labor Day weekend it was extremely crowded, with tents and chairs lining the bank and even extending into the water. There was also quite a bit of drinking and smoking around us. We spent a few hours in the water while leaving our inexpensive soft-sided Buc-ee's cooler on a rocky area nearby. When we returned, the cooler was gone. We obviously can't say who took it or exactly what happened to it, but it was an unpleasant end to an already disappointing stay. At that point we decided we'd rather leave early, get a hot shower, and spend the night in a clean hotel. We explained to the staff that we were checking out early and why. There was no offer of a partial refund, and the response was essentially that we shouldn't come during a holiday weekend. I understand that Labor Day is going to be one of the busiest weekends of the year, and crowds themselves aren't the resort's fault. However, the condition of our cabin, inadequate cooling, bathroom maintenance problems, cleanliness issues, and our overall experience went well beyond simply being busy. Unfortunately, the nostalgia my wife had for Chalk Bluff didn't match our experience this trip. We checked out early and won't return. Based on our stay, I also wouldn't recommend it for families looking for a comfortable cabin-and-river getaway.

My husband and I stayed at the Flying L cabin for a couple nights while we attended a very dear…read morefriend's wedding. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best experience staying there. 1. We are out-of-towners and this is our first time visiting Bandera. We always heard about the welcoming, friendliness and hospitality of the small town Texans. What we experienced at the front desk when we checked in wasn't any of those. The young lady who helped with our check-in wasn't friendly nor welcoming. I wanted to check out the place so I asked her if its ok for me to look around. I got a short answer from her after I repeated the question twice. No eye contact, no smile... 2. When we opened our cabin door, a very strong chemical smell of the most recent wood stains was overwhelming. We left the door open for a while to see if the smell got better, it wasn't, and we started feeling a light headache and nausea . So I called the front desk asking for another room. I was put on hold for a long time. I had hang up and then, got a call back. Since another cabin won't be ready until much later, we brought all of our luggages back in the car and drove to the check in area to drop off the keys. The young lady was busy with another customer so we talked to another lady. Again, no smile.. Its noone fault about the smell of the cabin. However, the way the situation was handled, it made us feel like we were bothering them. If I could "suck it in" and stayed in that room, I would. But my sensitive nose couldn't handle it... 3. The cabin itself has very nice wood walls and cute and simple decors. But it's a tiny space with the bunk bed taking a big chunk of the room. No closet or hangers, the tiny shower, and the beddings and towels, being dark brown, didn't help to show the cleanliness. The pillows were so hard, my husband couldn't sleep the 1st night. Luckily, he asked the front desk for a more "fluffier" pillows and got a better night of sleep the next night. Worse is,, there was only one tiny mirror in the bathroom. I am not sure why another mirror wasn't available in the room so 2 people can get ready at the same time... Customer services at these hotels are very important. They play a big part on how people, out-of-towners like us, view about the town and people who live here. Sadly, based on our experience from our stay here, Bandera wan't what we expected and maybe, will be our one time visting... *This resort/these cabins are surrounding by a nice golf course, homes and so many beautiful and peaceful deers. It has so much potential to be a very special place....

My daughter and I stayed here for an event we were attending in town. We stayed only one night,…read morearrived to check in at 7:30 pm on a Friday and we were checking out the next morning before 8:00 am. When we checked in, the woman working at the desk was very friendly. However, she had about a five minute presentation on every detail about the resort. She even talked about things that were not happening while we were there. This would have been nice if we were staying a while but we were obviously there only about 12 hours. The other downside to this is that we were third in line to check in, so we had to stand there and listen to her say it three times. Side note, part of the check in process is to sign a liability waiver which I find odd. After we set off to find our cabin, I was shocked to find the grounds dark, completely dark. The only designation on the cabins is a number on the cabin itself and some of them do not face the street. The porch lights are dim so it was very difficult to find our place in the dark. The room was fine, dimly lit but fine. It was roomy, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was nice. After we got settled, I went to the restaurant by the main office. They had live music and were taking orders outside. I was told by the woman taking orders that the kitchen was too backed up and they could not take any food orders at the time, "we are a three man operation and are too behind so come back in 30 minutes". Then, when I came back at 9:01 pm I was told they stop serving food at 9:00 and I could only get pizza. Not impressed with the restaurant. The next morning, I got up at 6:00 am to go for a walk. Again, everything is pitch black, no street lights anywhere. I walked through the little cabin street that winds around and followed a sidewalk that apparently turns into the golf course sidewalk. No designation, no lights, I had no idea. A staff member in a golf cart yelled at me that I was not allowed to walk on the golf course sidewalk. This also seemed strange to me as I wasn't running around on the course. I was on a sidewalk. This place was fine if you need to be close for an event, like we were, but I would not choose to stay here for any length of time for recreation.
