When visiting the Cowboy Capital of the World, this BRAND-NEW village offers it all: closeness to the nightlife and shopping of Bandera (Only 1 Block away from Main St!!), and access to the Medina River. But we take it one step further by adding a fun one-of-a-kind Glamping experience you'll never forget! With that said, we're delighted to present the "Hoot Owl" Yurt!

"Hoot Owl" is cozy and features high ceilings showcasing the beautiful wood and natural light from the Yurt design. It has an open-concept living space featuring a large and super comfortable Queen Sleeper Sofa and TV (Streaming with own account only- No Cable). Our Yurts have been designed to offer the amenities of the modern world (Wifi, Bathroom, Comfortable Beds, large Kitchenette, A/C & Heat) while still providing a simplistic connection to nature.

The Master Bedroom has a plush and comfortable King Size bed and TV (Streaming only). You can see the clear dome from the bed which allows natural light to stream in during the day and a glimpse of the stars and moon at night before you drift off to sleep. Rainy nights in a Yurt are unlike any other! All linens and pillows are provided.

The Second Bedroom features a Twin over Full Size Bunk Bed - perfect for the kiddos or adults alike to get a good night's sleep on the also super comfortable mattresses!!

The Bathroom features a Shower, Toilet and Sink and all towels and wash rags are provided.

Step outside under the large Palapa covered porch where you'll find a delightful outdoor area designed for relaxation and entertainment. Grab a cup of coffee in the morning and listen to the birds chirp while relaxing in the cozy Wicker Hanging Swings or laid back in the Adirondack Bar Stools! The String Lights around the patio provide a peaceful atmosphere in the evenings to wind down with a drink and family/friends!

Fire up the Argentine Gaucho Grill in the outdoor sitting area and sizzle up a delectable feast as the tantalizing aroma fills the air. The Grill is definitely a conversation starter and sure to impress!! Share stories and laughter with loved ones as you gather around under the starry Texas sky. Nestled underneath a large array of Oak, Pecan, Cypress, Mulberry and Cedar Trees, it creates the most perfect and peaceful setting for your weekend getaway.

For the ultimate indulgence, immerse yourself in the soothing warmth of the beautiful Cedar Hot Tub. Unwind and let your cares melt away as you soak in the rejuvenating waters, surrounded by the beauty of nature while being nestled in the trees.

Camp OTX Drop Off
My family was in Bandera for one night to drop off our kids at camp OTX and stayed at the yurts the night prior to drop off. The yurt was extremely clean and pictures accurately depicted the property. You are close to the next yurt but that is stated in the description so we were not surprised. Host was very nice, provided a detailed packet that outlined the location of the yurt and activates to do at the camp grounds as well as in town. Host was kind enough to let us check-in a few hours early and responded promptly when contacted.
