My husband has stayed at Bob Ton Roulet two times prior and this year I joined him. It was/is…read moreeverything he said it would be. The cabin had everything we needed including river access (Nol has given public access to the river as part of a lease agreement with TPWD). I didn't get to meet her but Mark says she's the best. We had deer, skunks, bunnies, opossum, fox and horses. The bird watching was great. Who else says, "give me a hug" but someone as great as Nol! I can't wait until next year.

I recently stayed at Nol's cabins and I absolutely had one of the best experiences I've ever had on…read morethe South Llano River. Nol has 2 cabins for rent that are a stone's throw from the river (30-second walk). They are attractive, clean, well-furnished and they are both newly built. As someone who likes to kayak Central Texas' rivers I've had the opportunity to stay at numerous different riverfront cabins and I have to admit that Nol's are the best by a long shot. Sadly, I can be overly critical at times but these accommodations were excellent. The bed (queen-size) was plush and comfortable, the AC was frosty cold and her riverbank is private, quiet and beautiful. She even has one of the best swimming holes that I've experienced on the South Llano. The 100-year old pecan trees that line her stretch of the river provided us a comfortable respite from the hot July sun. If you like to fish and run the rapids like I do Nol's property sits on an ideal location on the river to float into or float out of when making kayak trips. Pro Tip #1: When you make your morning cup of coffee go sit down on river's edge upon her rock steps. It's quiet, relaxing and you'll have the whole river to yourself. Pro Tip #2: After your dinner meal go sit out on the porch and watch the wild turkeys, white-tailed deer and axis deer come out to feed. We saw more wild game and birds than you'd see at the zoo.

We flew in and out of San Antonio, only 50 miles away. The owners are very knowledgeable about everything to see and do within a 100 mile radius and they are interested in making their guests as comfortable as possible. The resident dogs are friendly and unobtrusive, deer are plentiful and we even watched roadrunners and plenty of hummingbirds. These new themed cabins (Cowboy and Harley) are located on 5 private acres, with comfortable beds, a porch for bird and deer-watching, full bathrooms and a kitchenette with dining table and flat-screen TV. Another great comfort is the wall (not window) air conditioning and heating unit. It kept us very comfortable during changing weather. The owners have thought of everything - not only are the cabins well-appointed and comfortable, but there is a large platform porch "The Sundowner Lounge", gas barbecues, a fire pit, picnic area, hammock and horseshoe toss games for anyone to use. The small town atmosphere and great shopping and eating in Bandera cannot be beat! Fabulous antiques at good prices, ecclectic shops with second-hand to upscale clothing and jewelry, and even a great quilting store - "Gone Quiltin". Wednesday night at the 11th Street Cowboy Bar, where you cook your own steaks. No need to spend any time in the city! We stayed for a week and really relaxed. It's a perfect place to take the family, or as a quiet place for rest and relaxation. Dog friendly, Motorcycle friendly, just plain Texas friendly!

There are a couple of other houses on the property, so this would make for a nice weekend retreat for a group. The river is a short walk away, and the kids had a blast swimming and kayaking. We felt very at home. Denise, the property manager, lives right next door and was super sweet and helpful. Oh, and Castell is a cute small town. Poking around the historic church, school house, and cemetery was fun.

The meals were served family style, different every day, and so delicious and local!!! The room was perfect and as expected on a back country ranch. I was surprised and thankful we had an electric heater!! The horses and ranch staff were a bit stand off ish until they get to know you, but then they are super friendly and accommodating, so please give everyone a chance, they are all great people. The facilities are great, though we came at a time of year that the pool was not in use. The only thing we were a bid irked by was how the horses didn't seemed to be brushed daily, and they had burrs and mud caked on them. I would think it would still be a profitable business after being in the family for over a hundred years, to have a hired hand that just took care of the horses on a daily basis, since that is the business' main draw and attraction. Other than that, an outstanding time!!
