Holiday Villages of Medina Leave your stress, worries, and cares outside
Once inside the gated entrance of Holiday Villages of Medina, you’ll understand that their motto is a reality. Situated in what’s been named the “Cowboy Capital of the World,” you can “hang up your spurs and take off your cowboy boots” and relax. The town of Bandera’s distinction originated when it became a staging area for the last great cattle drives of the late 1800s. Confirming Bandera as the Cowboy Capital, a bronze monument honoring the many National Rodeo Champions who call Bandera home stands on the courthouse lawn. Once onsite, you canenjoy the 6,000-square-foot clubhouse and pool area. Join friends at barbecue pits, picnic tables, and campfire areas. The pool area also boasts a hot tub. Enjoy a game of miniature golf and a variety of sports on the sports courts. If the pool doesn’t offer enough refreshment, head down to the waterfront park area where you’ll find a boat launch
and lighted fishing pier at Medina Lake, which is fed by the Medina River. You can fish for largemouth bass, channel catfish, white bass, flathead catfish, and blue catfish. Meet your friends and make new ones at the many activities organized at Holiday Villages of Medina. These include karaoke, potlucks, game nights, hamburger and hot dog suppers, movie nights, and yard sale and craft show. Offsite, although horseback riding is a standard part of any stay at a dude ranch, you don’t have to spend the night at one to enjoy the experience. In fact, many nearby guest ranches, such as Bar M Ranch, Dixie Dude Ranch, and Juniper Hill Stables, provide trail rides that take you through rolling green hills, wide-open pastures, and across trickling creeks. You’re close enough to visit nearby Sea World, Fiesta Texas, and San Antonio River Walk. See some of the best bull riders, barrel races, and mutton busters at one of the many rodeos in Bandera.
