Fun and great location
It was a great hotel, and it will be my main place to stay in the area. It is a short walk to restaurants and bars. It is short drive everywhere. It was a cute place that my wife will love.

8/10 Very good

Rustic and clean
Clean room with rustic decor that is very Texan. We only stayed one night, but it was cold and the heater in The room (which Looks like a window air conditioner) was very noisy.

The Vaquero was very comfortable for my best friend and me for a 1-night stay while we were on a Texas State Parks hiking weekend between Enchanted Rock and Lost Maples. The front desk staff was the best!

Will Come Back
This is an adorable collection of 11 cabins -- All seem to be decorated and equipped differently, but ours was so nice inside: rustic and comfortable. Bedding was great, linens were nice, kitchen was well-equipped and the location was perfect! We were only there one night, but the central use area would have been fun, especially for multi-family or multi-friend groups. So Recommend It. (and it cost less than near-by hotel!)
