Aug 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### The Coziest Home Away From Home Our travels prompted us to find this well polished gem. We came to Bandera to support my son in his grand opening of Bandera Jewelers. Bright Star was very close to town, and tucked away just enough for hometown neighborhood privacy. Let me tell you, this home is so beautiful and the host has definitely thought of everything! It is nice to know that we have a place to stay that mirrors the cleanliness and comfort of our own home. I wish I could give more than 5 stars. The beds were so comfortable, it was like sleeping on clouds. The house is very roomy, with large bedrooms with master ensuite. The house is very modern and had everything we ever could have thought of needing. Sandra, keep up the great customer service! It was also nice to know that you were quickly responsive to my messages. ##### Michelle E.

We have stayed at a lot of nice VRBO homes, but this one was the best! The house was beautiful, super clean, and Sandra thought of everything! It had all the conveniences of home and more! Her home was out in a country neighborhood so we saw deer every day and yet only about 5 minutes from Bandera. You will not be disappointed! I hope we can stay again soon! ##### Peggy T.
