Beautiful scenery
We enjoyed the quiet peaceful atmosphere that this cabin had to offer. Even though the Medina water level is low, we were able find enough water to float on tubes and enjoy the natural surroundings. This place had everything we needed to cookout and a spacious porch to hang out in the morning. Carol and Lyn were great hostesses! We will definitely be back.

Very fun trip
My family wanted to take a trip with the kids to get away from it all but at the same time be responsible from a health perspective. The place was super clean and remote and was the perfect vacation during these uncertain times. We would definitely stay here again.

Annular Solar Eclipse Oct. 2023
Our Eclipse experience was made immaculate by the setting of this gorgeous property & river access…. It was the perfect place for family & close friends to share experiences together and make memories. Lots of beds for everyone, a good kitchen for family meals, and the best spot for relaxing adventures…! Highly recommend!!!

Great cabin with awesome views
We very much enjoyed our stay. The views were great and there is plenty of room for kids to explore. The river was low, but that didn't dampen the fun we had. The location is a little secluded, but still close to State parks and the town of Bandera. All in all, if you want a peaceful spot, this is the place.

Holiday Away From Home
A rough-looking drive into the property, not in the owner's control, was offset by the setting when we arrived at the cabin. Quiet, secluded, well designed for relaxing on the porch watching deer and the creek view. Owners are delightful and set up a Christmas Day potluck for the campers and locals that was very nice. Strangers enjoying each other's company. Will return in a different season.

So relaxing
My husband and I truly enjoyed our trip to the cabin. We really enjoyed our walk along the river and sat on the front porch and listened to the water flowing. The cabin was spotless and had way more room then what we were expecting. Also the bed was very comfortable.

What a delight!
We loved our stay in the cabin! The whole team was so friendly and helpful with any questions. They even helped us with our flat tire. The beds were clean, soft, and comfortable. The kitchen and bath were well stocked. Access to the river is quick and easy. We loved getting to feed to deer, birds, and squirrels. Our dog loved the large porch. We definitely plan to come back!

Cozy cabin in a great location on the river
Location is amazing- lovely to sit on the porch in the morning looking out at the river. We loved kayaking and skimming stones on the river. Lovely that our dog could go loose. The firepit and loungers by the river at night was a highlight. And smores! The cabin was cozy, comfortable and very well equipped . We really felt like we escaped to nature for a few days.

When first getting to the property. The host family that runs the place, are SUPER friendly! They were extremely helpful and even wheeled down the wood that we paid for. The house was extremely clean, and there was plenty of towels provided. My family will for sure be returning, and we will HIGHLY recommend to anyone else!

Wonderful! A hill country haven!
What a special place to relax and enjoy the Medina! The cabin was clean, very well equipped and so comfortable! The covered deck facing the river provided a lovely place to watch the birds, the river, and families enjoying this fantastic setting. My dog enjoyed it as much as I did! Best of all, the owners and the camp host were amazing.., welcoming and attentive. I would recommend Boulderdash cabin! I know I will be back as soon as I can!!

Great stay - dog sitting too!
We had a fabulous time here! The house was cozy and clean and right next to the water. Our family loved building a rock dam and skipping rocks on the colder days and floating on the river in tubes on the warmer days. We went into San Antonio one day. Our dog stayed at the cabin. The owner took Penny out for a long walk for a very reasonable fee. It was great to know that Penny was taken care of while we were visiting the sites in San Antonio. Thank you!

Weekend get away
Cabin was well stocked with everything u needed for cooking. Beds were comfy, kayaks were an added bonus. Check in and out was perfect and easy. And the water level was high and nice temperature. Only slight issue was having to work around all the people fishing in the morning but all and all it was a good weekend. I will be planning a trip back in the future. Thank you for opening up your place to guests. Its a perfect getaway from the city.

Wonderful Weekend!
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Boulderdash! The cabin was perfect for our family and we all had a wonderful time. The cabin was clean and well stocked with everything we needed, and our kids loved the DVD collection. We had a great time hiking up and down the riverbed and loved seeing all of the deer and other wildlife. Andrea and her family were wonderful hosts and invited our girls up to feed the deer, which they absolutely loved. The owners were easy to reach when we had an issue with the door code, and resolved our issue smoothly so we could get right in and enjoy our stay. We hope to be back again!

Great getaway!
Campsite was private and relaxing. We hiked along the river, kids kayaked a bit, and hubby fished. The quiet was much needed. My only concern was the cleanliness....the shower curtain was moldy and the couch was patched with what looked like a giant bandaid. ...made me wonder if the rest of the cabin had been adequately cleaned and sanitized.

Slice of paradise
This was our second time staying at boulder dash. This time the water was lower which allowed for more exploring the riverbed. Owners were very up front about what the changes in the river were. We were well prepared for fun in the low river instead of kayaking and swimming that we did last time. The kids loved building mini dams and wading in the deeper parts. The front porch was amazing during a brief rainstorm. Beds are clean and comfortable, kitchen very well stocked. Very pet friendly with easy stairs for our older girl. We will be back. Our only regret is that we waited so long between visits.
