Misty Haven Cabins - Cowboy Cabin and Harleys Hideaway

Misty Haven Cabins

Went here with my wife and two young daughters. The cabin was small but we fit just fine. The decor…read moreis thoughtful and fun and they thought of every detail. The property was well maintained and my kids enjoyed running around in the open areas. We woke up and saw deer almost every morning which my kids loved. I loved the location, just far enough from town to unplug but close enough to get dinner and visit the river on hot days for floating. A great place to relax.

A+ This is a wonderful gem in the beautiful Texas hill country just a few minutes outside of…read moreBandera, TX - "The Cowboy Capital of the World". We flew in and out of San Antonio, only 50 miles away. The owners are very knowledgeable about everything to see and do within a 100 mile radius and they are interested in making their guests as comfortable as possible. The resident dogs are friendly and unobtrusive, deer are plentiful and we even watched roadrunners and plenty of hummingbirds. These new themed cabins (Cowboy and Harley) are located on 5 private acres, with comfortable beds, a porch for bird and deer-watching, full bathrooms and a kitchenette with dining table and flat-screen TV. Another great comfort is the wall (not window) air conditioning and heating unit. It kept us very comfortable during changing weather. The owners have thought of everything - not only are the cabins well-appointed and comfortable, but there is a large platform porch "The Sundowner Lounge", gas barbecues, a fire pit, picnic area, hammock and horseshoe toss games for anyone to use. The small town atmosphere and great shopping and eating in Bandera cannot be beat! Fabulous antiques at good prices, ecclectic shops with second-hand to upscale clothing and jewelry, and even a great quilting store - "Gone Quiltin". Wednesday night at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar, where you cook your own steaks. No need to spend any time in the city! We stayed for a week and really relaxed. It's a perfect place to take the family, or as a quiet place for rest and relaxation. Dog friendly, Motorcycle friendly, just plain Texas friendly!

No need to do any more searching. This is perfect! The minute you walk inside, you will feel at…read morehome. There's an indescribable peace and calmness throughout. The Medina River is visible from the living area and the front porch (complete with rockers). The photos on the web site do not do justice for the home or setting. It is brand-new and immaculate. Find this property via Air BnB; name is Medina River Cabins and this is Laurel House 2; but, it is a far cry from a "cabin"... I could live in this home forever. Did not want to leave and will be returning soon! NOTE that the owner very cleverly designed the floorplan such that you can rent as a 2-BR or 3-BR. www.airbnb.com/rooms/26563502?location=Pipe%20Creek%2C%20TX&adults=2&children=0&infants=0&guests=2&toddlers=0&s=22XtEByT

You'll enjoy grilling and relaxing in the shade or watching the river run from the spacious front porch. It's just a short walk to the river where you can enjoy swimming, tubing, kayaking or just lounging in the cool clear water of the Medina. The beauty of this place is that while it is located 30 minutes from San Antonio and Boerne, and 14 miles from Bandera, the Cowboy Capital of the World, it truly is a quiet country home. There's nothing like sitting on the porch, listening to the river run, or watching the fireflies light up like nature's twinkle lights when the sun goes down. It's a short drive to San Antonio and all the popular attractions and shopping there. The hill country wineries around Fredericksburg, Garner State Park near Leakey, or Lost Maples State Park are only an hour away.

Suspect he took a swim in my coffee (moth eaten lol) Step carefully, has 2 dangerous ones. Speaking of danger, the power is a snarled strip?.Oven broiler so filthy I put it outside and creamer dish awful. The community trash can under the trailer window reaked and was stuffed full as well. All is photoed, videoed, documented, reported and available upon request. A violent storm raged all night. The power went out. Car charged my phone for at least a flashlight. The trailer canopy fell across exit door trapping me in. I was not checked on during the night, rather, rescued in the morning. So, I could not use the restroom the whole of that time.. No apologies/concern offered. With all the mud,, a shower was not an option as the drain was clogged with bugs. The patio was drenched due to canopy failure. Owner didn't even offer to wipe the surfaces. So, I sat on the trailer stoop for the duration of my stay (I vacated a day early due to no shower in all this mud). OWNER LIVES ON PROPERTY AND KNEW THIS!!!! Under dire circumstances, and with but another night already paid for, I "graciously" offered to return a different eve, giving the owner an opportunity to clean up and fix things..when I really should have been offered refund/comp as a good business practice by "A Place to Stay Reservations", but thought to offer the owner an even better remedy in her favor instead. Owner absolutely did not care. Think twice before reserving this abode. Not $40-50.00 a night as advertised, by aplacetostay, a nearby Bandera Texas business. Bate & switched to $66.66. Must make own beds at arrival. Strip, transport bedding to laundry at departure? Don't we specifically pay premium price not to have to do this and all the other litany of clean up rules they have in place? Aren't we suppose to be on vacation??? I'm an easy-to-please, understated, happy-go-lucky, hardy country gal, and an author for a travel magazine (the reason for my stay) complaints kept coming in of people deserving refunds but not getting them. I, a senior staff, was sent to verify. This is, "A Place to Stay", as the name of the company implies, just NOT a good one.

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....

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.

You'll feel like Isak Dinesan, Beryl Markham, and Denys Finch Hatton all in one! Uniquely beautiful and comfortable, Longhorn Guest Cabin has everything from dueling fireplaces on either end of the great hall, to sumptuous bedrooms with windows on either END of the beds... open behind the headboard to the interior space (with privacy blinds if needed) and at the footboard looking out over acres of luscious Texas cattle pasture... complete with wandering Longhorns just as gentle as they are (impressively) huge!... Kitchen is marvelous, as are the two bathrooms. Owners Debbie and Don Davis have spared no expense in up-dating this former hunter's cabin to accommodate the most discerning travelers and their cohort of adult family and friends. So many adventures to pursue around this 1800 acre property, but the cabin itself if hard to leave once you settle in to its intoxicating ambiance of age-old tradition and modern convenience. Did I mention the lovely pollinator garden or the spacious front porch from which you can watch the winged world of birds and insects float around just waiting to star in your telephoto lens masterpiece? There's no hunting on the property, so it's safe to hike or mountain bike the miles of trails crisscrossing land where the cattle (not buffalo) quietly roam. Quiet, by the way is the prevailing mood as the Cabin is some miles from any main road and even further from the nearest town, Tarpley, which is nonetheless charming and accessible. And don't get me started about the chance for those physically fit and intrepid individuals to explore one of the amazing underground caves recently discovered on the ranch. https://devinenews.com/exploring-a-treasure-beneath.../... The rental rate is so reasonable, we plan to go back for a longer stay... soon! Rating: Five stars!! Thanks, Don and Deb for opening up this treasure to people who will undoubtedly appreciate it as much as Tom and I did!!
