In four of the cabins, a limestone fireplace stretches from the hard-wood floor to the peak of the 21 foot cathedral ceiling. When guests arrive, their cabin is already stocked with an overflowing basket of fruit, breakfast foods, coffee, tea, and snacks. For lunch and dinner, guests may enjoy one of the many excellent restaurants in nearby Bandera, or Dianne or Peter can pack them a lunch for the trail, or bring hot meals or groceries to their cabin. They can also cater for small groups upon request. There is plenty to do, for horseback riders and non-riders alike.
Children find the lodge's own fossil-hunting area good for at least a couple of hours' fascination.
Tubing, fishing, and kayaking in the Medina River are minutes away, and Sea World, Fiesta Texas, and the Alamo are within an hour's drive. Still, guests need not feel compelled to do anything in particular. Hill Country Equestrian Lodge is located 10.5 miles West of Bandera. Total capacity 44. Sleeper sofa in living area.
