Cute and quirky and great roadtrip stop

Pros: Great location, super friendly welcome, cute real Texas style cabins with an extra bed. Big rooms and all basic amenities are there. Plus a cute little fire place out the front.

Cons: For a roadtrip stop this was perfect

Great location, well kept Vaquero cabins.

Pros: The staff were welcoming and the rooms were clean and cosy. I am a UK traveller who stayed in October, so I was very hot. But the rooms are well air conditioned and designed. Plenty to do in the area including steak night on a Wednesday (don’t miss it) and horse riding (I recommend Historical Rides Bandera with Harrieth and Tom)

Cons: Location and hosts

Excellent value for money

Pros: Hidden gem. This little spot is excellent and has everything you need for a short stay. Couldn't fault it. Walkable distance to town too with free parking.

Cons: The only way to improve is to add blackout blinds. It's very bright in the morning. It can be a little noisy in the morning, but it was no big deal!

A charming stay in the heart of Bandera, with the kindest hosts you could ask for!

Pros: I had such a wonderful stay at The Vaquero! From the moment I arrived, the ladies who run the place made me feel completely at home, they’re truly the best. Their kindness and hospitality gave the motel such a welcoming, small-town charm that made my trip to Bandera even more special. The location couldn’t be better, you can easily walk to all the local bars, shops, and activities happening around town. It’s the perfect spot if you want to soak up everything Bandera has to offer without needing to drive everywhere. If they ever added a nice pool, that would be the cherry on top! I absolutely recommend The Vaquero to anyone visiting Bandera. It’s one of those places that leaves you smiling long after you’ve checked out.
