The Cowboy is one of two upstairs suites in the Salt Block, right in downtown Bandera. Shops, restaurants and the 11th Street Cowboy Bar are within walking distance, and the Medina River is less than a mile away. Salt Block guests get a discount at Salty's Texas Provisions in town, a shop for gifts and things made in Texas.
The suite is new throughout, with central air and heat, ceiling fans and a modern-rustic look. There is a comfortable living area with a smart TV, a full kitchen with new stainless appliances, a dishwasher and a coffee maker, and Wi-Fi. Two bedrooms sleep four, with one set up for the adults and one for kids, and the bath has a walk-in shower. A starter pack of supplies is provided.
Smoked salts, sea salt and black pepper from a local salt maker are left in every Salt Block kitchen. The suite has an on-property parking spot, with more parking on the street, and motorcycles are welcome. The building has three other suites if your group grows. One pet is welcome here.
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
We usually suggest The Cowboy for a family with kids. The second bedroom has its own pair of beds, so the grown-ups keep the other room to themselves. It is upstairs in the Salt Block, a short walk to Main Street and the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. The kitchen is new and has a dishwasher, which matters when you are cooking for four.

GOOD TO KNOW
The Cowboy is upstairs, so there are stairs to climb. The building is across from the 11th Street Cowboy Bar in a lively part of town, and some noise reaches the suites at night.
One pet is welcome; any pet fee is shown when you book.
Check-in is 3 PM and check-out is 11 AM.
