Easy walking, relaxing views, an overlook for meditation, the property is a natural history lesson in birds, deer, rivers, geology and plants in one place. We rented for a week, I never left the property. ##### Thomas d. Stayed 7 nights in Dec 2020 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Katie K. Dec 29, 2017 #### Lovely place Peace and quiet and a very nice and comfortable home made our stay at The Roost a success. I only have one critique: don’t advertise a price of $ 149\. 00 a night and then tack on more $ for people past two. I feel that is false advertising and a game of bait and switch. I completely understand adding pet fees or more $ for a deposit, etc. but an extra $20.00 per person per night ( our kids) who are over 18 is a bit much. ##### Katie K.

It is a fantastic place to escape, enjoy nature, and watch wildlife from the big deck. The house is very clean, comfortable, and well stocked with all the basics you need. Dogs are pampered here too, with water bowls and beds ready for them upon arrival! This was our second year in a row to spend a family weekend - 7 adults and a dog, and we could not have a had a better time anywhere else. ##### Andrew M.

Perfect place for a long weekend relaxing with my kids away from the usual routine. The property has a secluded and very relaxed feeling. The birds and wildlife give you plenty to watch while relaxing on the large shaded back deck and gazebo. Very comfortable beds and my daughter said to mention the rugs in the house - she loved them. Easy drive into Bandera for any shopping or things you forgot, and an easy hour drive into San Antonio or to the Frio River, which we did both. Overall one of the best rental properties we've ever stayed at. We are already discussing when to go back next year! ##### Andrew M. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2021 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Patrick M.

Owners are on property, but at the back and hidden from view. Very nice people that leave you alone to explore at your will. Went to Lost Maples Park and hiked the east trail. A must if you stay at this property. It is a somewhat tough trail, but well worth the views once you reach the highest points. Two other parks are also near, Natural State and Garner. I would recommend to anyone thinking about this property. You can also have a good time eating and shopping in Bandera. Dough Joe’s has fantastic pizza and the Old Forge has great homestyle food. The Cracked Mug is great for breakfast and Coffee. The best thing about Bandera is that no one cares about wearing a mask. ##### Jay S.

Cute, cozy home away from home! The property is beautiful and full of hiking trails plus a creek for those looking to get away from the city to connect with nature. So peaceful, quiet and relaxing - we loved it so much we added another day! We drove from Houston to get here, and it was well worth it.

Aug 12, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Great spot for a secluded hill country getaway with the dogs We had a wonderful time at Kingfisher ranch. My wife and I went with two dogs for most of the week, and had two friends from Dallas join us for the weekend. The location was exactly what we wanted - secluded, away from people and highways, with lots of trails to explore, memorable picnicking spots all over, a scenic (muddy) creek for the dogs to splash around in (and capability to hose them down afterwards), lovely deck area with an excellent grill, fully equipped kitchen for cooking out, and much more. Worth mentioning also that Hill Country State Natural Area is just 20 minutes away and has rugged and dramatic hiking; and there is an access point to the clean, shallow and wade-able Medina at the top of the road to Bandera, which are both extremely convenient from this property. Loved it and already planning our next trip back! ##### Ben J. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jennifer F.

Jul 28, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Perfect getaway from the world We needed to get out of town to rest, reset and recharge. This location met all of our needs. There was ample room for our family of four and extremely dog friendly. The dog bowls full of water on arrival were a nice touch! We put our own blankets on the furniture and the provided dog bed in the master to make our pup feel more at home. She loved exploring the area on our morning walks with her and meeting the rabbits and deer in the area. I fell in love with the hummingbirds off the porch and was happy to greet the owner who came by to tend the feeders one afternoon. It was not an intrusion at all, and she understood that our dog’s protective response was not aggressive. Being a getaway during COVID, I was concerned about running out of essentials but that was not the case at all. All new soaps, sponges and plenty of paper products were provided. WiFi was enough for streaming from our Fire Stick and a Zoom meeting and webinar were great on the WiFi. No Verizon cell service is available, mentioned only as an FYI, not a concern. I went there to get away and got what I wanted. Our family played games, watched movies and visited Garner State Park and Hill Country State Natural Area for day hikes. Lost Maples was close as well but we prioritized the parks we’ve never visited. Dinner at Mac and Ernies did not disappoint. We would return again to this delightful property! ##### Susan D.

We had a great stay. Lots of wildlife. The owners take pride in this rental. It was very clean and well supplied. There’s a private and very clean swimming hole in the back of the house. It was great having it all to ourselves. Wouldn’t think twice about renting again. ##### Keith W. Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jamie M.

The creek itself was lovely and enjoyed how isolated it was. It had various depths which kept our boys busy exploring and playing. The house was comfortable and kid-friendly. We enjoyed the location as well for visiting Bandara, hiking the nature preserve and exploring other nearby small towns. The owners were quite receptive if we had any needs or questions and our boys enjoyed all they had to share about the animals on their property. ##### Jamie M.

Plenty of open area. Outdoors chairs needed some cleaning. Kitchen cabinets also needed done cleaning; some of the spices wheee te expired and needed to be thrown away. Others than that very comfortable and relaxing. ##### Dalia V.
