Hacienda del Rio · Stone House Above the Medina

Hacienda del Rio sits above the Medina River, about five miles from Bandera, on property shaded by large oaks. Behind the house, an antique gate opens onto a tiered staircase that leads down to the river for swimming, fishing or sitting on the bank. Hill Country State Natural Area is about ten miles away.



The exterior is stonework, and inside the living and dining room are large enough for a big group. The kitchen is fully equipped, with an oven, a range, a microwave, a toaster, a blender, a drip coffee maker and a K-cup maker. Four bedrooms and three full baths are upstairs, along with a TV room with a DVD player, and there is a half bath tucked under the stairs downstairs. Central air and heat run on both floors, the living room TV has Roku, and there is Wi-Fi, good cell service and a whole-home water filtration system.



Just off the living room is a large shaded patio with outdoor furniture and a charcoal grill. Fishing and hiking are allowed, and there is wildlife on the land around the house.



Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

What we tell people about Hacienda del Rio is that it is built for a big family. Four bedrooms upstairs sleep ten, and the living and dining rooms downstairs are large enough to hold everyone at once. The exterior is stonework, and an antique gate behind the house opens onto a tiered staircase down to the Medina. Bandera is about five miles away.
