My husband and I stayed at the Flying L cabin for a couple nights while we attended a very dear…read morefriend's wedding. Unfortunately, we didn't have the best experience staying there. 1. We are out-of-towners and this is our first time visiting Bandera. We always heard about the welcoming, friendliness and hospitality of the small town Texans. What we experienced at the front desk when we checked in wasn't any of those. The young lady who helped with our check-in wasn't friendly nor welcoming. I wanted to check out the place so I asked her if its ok for me to look around. I got a short answer from her after I repeated the question twice. No eye contact, no smile... 2. When we opened our cabin door, a very strong chemical smell of the most recent wood stains was overwhelming. We left the door open for a while to see if the smell got better, it wasn't, and we started feeling a light headache and nausea . So I called the front desk asking for another room. I was put on hold for a long time. I had hang up and then, got a call back. Since another cabin won't be ready until much later, we brought all of our luggages back in the car and drove to the check in area to drop off the keys. The young lady was busy with another customer so we talked to another lady. Again, no smile.. Its noone fault about the smell of the cabin. However, the way the situation was handled, it made us feel like we were bothering them. If I could "suck it in" and stayed in that room, I would. But my sensitive nose couldn't handle it... 3. The cabin itself has very nice wood walls and cute and simple decors. But it's a tiny space with the bunk bed taking a big chunk of the room. No closet or hangers, the tiny shower, and the beddings and towels, being dark brown, didn't help to show the cleanliness. The pillows were so hard, my husband couldn't sleep the 1st night. Luckily, he asked the front desk for a more "fluffier" pillows and got a better night of sleep the next night. Worse is,, there was only one tiny mirror in the bathroom. I am not sure why another mirror wasn't available in the room so 2 people can get ready at the same time... Customer services at these hotels are very important. They play a big part on how people, out-of-towners like us, view about the town and people who live here. Sadly, based on our experience from our stay here, Bandera wan't what we expected and maybe, will be our one time visting... *This resort/these cabins are surrounding by a nice golf course, homes and so many beautiful and peaceful deers. It has so much potential to be a very special place....

My daughter and I stayed here for an event we were attending in town. We stayed only one night,…read morearrived to check in at 7:30 pm on a Friday and we were checking out the next morning before 8:00 am. When we checked in, the woman working at the desk was very friendly. However, she had about a five minute presentation on every detail about the resort. She even talked about things that were not happening while we were there. This would have been nice if we were staying a while but we were obviously there only about 12 hours. The other downside to this is that we were third in line to check in, so we had to stand there and listen to her say it three times. Side note, part of the check in process is to sign a liability waiver which I find odd. After we set off to find our cabin, I was shocked to find the grounds dark, completely dark. The only designation on the cabins is a number on the cabin itself and some of them do not face the street. The porch lights are dim so it was very difficult to find our place in the dark. The room was fine, dimly lit but fine. It was roomy, the beds were comfortable and the bathroom was nice. After we got settled, I went to the restaurant by the main office. They had live music and were taking orders outside. I was told by the woman taking orders that the kitchen was too backed up and they could not take any food orders at the time, "we are a three man operation and are too behind so come back in 30 minutes". Then, when I came back at 9:01 pm I was told they stop serving food at 9:00 and I could only get pizza. Not impressed with the restaurant. The next morning, I got up at 6:00 am to go for a walk. Again, everything is pitch black, no street lights anywhere. I walked through the little cabin street that winds around and followed a sidewalk that apparently turns into the golf course sidewalk. No designation, no lights, I had no idea. A staff member in a golf cart yelled at me that I was not allowed to walk on the golf course sidewalk. This also seemed strange to me as I wasn't running around on the course. I was on a sidewalk. This place was fine if you need to be close for an event, like we were, but I would not choose to stay here for any length of time for recreation.

Driving up to the venue, it was nice, but it didn't have quite the "wow" factor that the online photos and videos had led us to expect but it was the customer service that was the biggest disappointment of our visit. We had a scheduled appointment to tour the venue with a staff member. Throughout our entire meeting, she remained seated and wore sunglasses the majority of time. She never offered to walk us through the property or show us the different areas of the event space. Although she had printed pricing sheets sitting in front of her, she initially told us that all of the pricing was available online. While that is true, my daughter eventually had to ask for one of the printed sheets that was already on the table. Since we are just beginning the planning process and had not yet selected a wedding date, we understood that an exact quote could not be provided. However, that should not have prevented us from receiving a proper tour of the venue and learning more about what it has to offer. I eventually asked if I could walk to the ceremony area in the back of the property. The GlassHouse Staff Member said I could, but she did not accompany me or provide any information about the space. As I walked through the ceremony area, I realized it simply wasn't the atmosphere or experience we were looking for. We drove a considerable distance specifically to tour this venue, so the lack of engagement and hospitality was disappointing. A venue tour should leave prospective clients excited and inspired. Instead, we left feeling like our appointment was an inconvenience. During our conversation, the staff member also mentioned that the venue is already booking events into 2028. Congratulations on your success--that certainly speaks to the venue's popularity. However, every prospective client deserves the same level of attention and professionalism, regardless of where they are in their planning journey. Based on our experience, this is not the venue we will be choosing for our daughter's wedding/reception.

I called and purchased tickets for the buffet with no problem. Later, I went to their web page, and learned about all their wonderful amenities and activities, and we decided to book an overnight stay. Boy, were we glad we did! It was everything we could have wanted. We stayed in one of their "hotel" rooms at the Wynne/Flato Lodge. The granddaughter would probably say that we didn't have everything -- There was no TV in our room, and no cell reception. BUT, we did have a great internet connection. Once you're settled in, you won't miss TV or phones. In fact, I think it is a blessing that allows you to use your brain and think about what you'd like to DO. At night, there was a hayride up the hill to a fire pit, supplied with fixin's for s'mores, hot chocolate and hot cider. Yes! After the hayride, we went back to the Registration building to watch a family movie, "Beauty and The Beast." Someone even came to bring us popcorn! There are also board games in this area. This same building houses a library and gift shop on the upper level, and art classrooms on the lower level, back side. The next morning, we had breakfast - basic, but very doable, with hot food, a hot bar: oatmeal, gravy & biscuits; and a cold bar: yogurt, fruit, etc., along with the required coffee. Next, the granddaughter went zip lining and rode The Big Gulp (yeah, you'll have to check this out); later, we went back to the Registration building for a painting class and a trip through the gift shop for Christmas gifts. What a great trip! We can't wait to go back! You gotta do MO!!
