About this property

Unique colorful cabin with 360° Hill Country Views!

A vibrantly colorful getaway! Pets welcome! Located on a clifftop with private access to the riverbed below -- dry at the moment but ex excellent for birdwatching, hiking and rockhounding. The fabulous Hill Country views and stargazing from the decks are calming for the mind and stimulating to the imagination.

A darling front porch and cactus-garden-in-progress greet you at the front of this colorful house. Enter to a galley kitchen, a full bath, and a living/dining area that gives onto a back porch overlooking the riverbed. Walls full of beautiful stained glass windows and artwork give a vibrant feel to your stay. Upstairs are two bedrooms, each with a view; and a half bath (full bath is downstairs). A spacious area between the bedrooms offers a work space, and can accommodate an air mattress (provided). If you're feeling adventurous you can sleep up on the rooftop deck, which has the best view of all — 360 degrees and a sky full of stars.

Plenty of parking on this fully fenced property, 3/4 acre with cool rock formations. A deck out over the riverbed also provides a great spot for stargazing or sunbathing, or just enjoying a cold drink and the country atmosphere. The screened-in back porch offers a peaceful spot to enjoy your morning coffee, and there's an outdoor shower for a quick splurge on a hot day. Take a moment to say howdy to the donkey that lives across the road.

This is a peaceful country neighborhood, off the beaten path but only 11 miles from Bandera, with its many attractions: restaurants, shopping, Lake Medina, rodeo and gunfight reenactments in summer, and much more.

Excellent location
The location is excellent, the place is cozy, however a little run down. The living room hasn't been dusted in a while, the vacuum cleaner was missing parts, the toilet brush in the main bathroom was disgusting.

The ring of fire!
We came to Skywatch Playhouse to do just that…watch the sky! This is a perfect place to celestial events like the annular eclipse we just experienced. Plan to come back for meteor showers this winter. Book for April if it not taken already!

About the host

Hosted by Carrington McDuffie

Host profile image
I'm an avid traveler, with appreciation for all kinds of places, especially the Texas Hill Country. I'm a recording artist and touring musician. Originally from New York, I've lived in the Northeast and on the West Coast, but for many years now I've made my home in Texas. I love music, and reading (I'm a professional audiobook narrator), and I have a profound appreciation for the natural world.

Why they chose this property

Fabulous views of the Texas Hill Country, surrounded by wildlife! This is an eclectic, homey place full of color, a getaway for grownups and kids of all ages. A dog run alongside the house offers hospitality for your pet.

This special little house was hand built by artists. The walls are made from salvaged flooring and cedar fencing that's been bleached, bug-treated and hand painted. Several stained glass windows throughout the cabin bring in colorful light. Oriental rugs, original paintings, a framed tapestry, antique oak and '50s-'60s restored pieces, with a little shabby chic, all make it homey.

A library of DVDs and books is available in case of a rainy day or for a cozy evening. Drawing materials and books for children as well. Activities in the Bandera area abound — from museums to shopping to picnicking to rodeos!

What makes this property unique

There's nothing quite like the Texas Hill Country, and from the rooftop deck of this property you can see for miles -- trees and hills, all the way to the horizon. Being located over the Medina River, even when it's dry it offers hiking, and you're in a quiet location with lots of wildlife. Birdwatchers have spotted tanagers, cardinals, roadrunners, purple martins, painted buntings, hummingbirds, and more.

All the color of the living space itself - the many stained glass windows and the paintings, the hand-painted walls, the creativity - give this cabin a very special feeling.

Extensive filtration offers delicious drinking water straight from the tap.
