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.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned cabin, featuring a kitchen with a refrigerator and an oven. There's a private patio. Conveniences include a microwave and a coffee/tea maker.
Enjoy recreation amenities such as a spa tub or take in the view from a garden.
Guests will find features like onsite parking.

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.

Overpriced, tiny space, right next to owners but you do "Get Away"
I wish other reviewers had mentioned that the owners live 100-120 feet away. The hot tub is nice but you don't really have privacy. Before we could use them we had to clean the refrigerator, grill, firepit and oven.

Little gem
We had a great time with our 2 kids (6 & 10). We loved playing in the creek, the fire pit, hot tub and watching all the wildlife. Perfect place to get away from it all.

Instant relaxation
As soon as we drove up I felt immediate feeling of relaxation come over me. Living in a big city it was a great to be able to almost completely unplug. I say almost because cell reception is intermittent. Very quiet and peaceful. Definitely recommend for someone or people wanting to unplug. The owner lives next door and is very accommodating and extremely cordial. Thank you for letting us stay there.

Perfect Retreat!
My wife and I brought our dogs and were only able to stay two nights -- we wish we'd had more time! It was amazing to disconnect and just BE. We looked at the stars from the hot tub (which was perfectly hot!), enjoyed a fire in the fire pit (it was cold!), took walks with the dogs (and loved on them!), played some Scrabble and gin rummy...it was glorious! The cabin is snug and cozy, with a good kitchen setup; if you're going to do a lot of serious cooking, bring a good, sharp knife (the same could be said when visiting my relatives, though!). Otherwise you're good to go! We're planning a return as soon as we can get it into our schedule, this time for a bit longer!

Memories were made
Our trip was cut short but memories were made. The views are amazing. The cabin is perfect. My wife, myself, and our two boys stayed in the cabin. It’s was perfect. Bedroom is a good size and so is the kitchen. The river is crystal clear and loaded with trout. We had to leave early due to two sick kids but it will be a Thanksgiving we will never forget. We will be back. Thank you Patricia

Incredible!
Great place to get away from it all and get back to nature, yet still close to town and other popular Hill Country locations. Comfortable and cozy and had everything we could possibly need for our vacation...especially loved the lack of wifi, as it really allowed us to unplug, relax and enjoy nature. Loved seeing all the deer on the property and it was clearly apparent that the owners care about the wildlife and property. We were sad when our departure day rolled around knowing we had to leave. Can't go wrong with a stay here and we plan on returning in the future.
