Jan 25, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Clean and Quiet Tin Star is a great place to stay. Very close to the center of Bandera. The unit is clean and well maintained. Actually purpose-built to be a rental. The area is very peaceful and quiet. Super dark at night, so lots of stars. My only nit is the unit could use more places for the traveler’s things. Zero horizontal surfaces available. Dresser completely filled with bedding. No hooks or available shelves in the bathroom. Otherwise awesome. ##### Tim A. Stayed 3 nights in Jan 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jose Sep 30, 2025 Liked: Amenities Very nice place. Host was very nice. Location was perfect near town ##### Jose Stayed 2 nights in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### April Mar 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Super clean, ACA was on when we entered, great experience all around ##### April Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ingrid R. Apr 18, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Wonderful little spot Before choosing this place, I looked around at everything available in Bandera. Then I found the TinStar. Not liking crowds and enjoying relaxing in peace & quiet this place WAS PERFECT. I would take this lodging over any other I saw in the area if I ever come to Bandera again. ##### Ingrid R. Stayed 4 nights in Apr 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Dale M. Jun 6, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Nice clean unit. If you're using Google maps it will take you to the next property. The lake is dry but there is plenty of wildlife. ##### Dale M. Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Monica B. Sep 15, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy The room was nice and clean. I liked that it was out of town. My only complaint was the person in the room next door was having a party of about 6 people outside listening to music and talking loudly at 3 am. We asked kindly to keep it down and they turned the music down but kept talking loudly right outside our door. Sadly we chose that location to avoid a loud atmosphere like town can be. ##### Monica B.
