Carriage Tarpley 5 | Suite Queen avec cuisine

The Tarpley Suite sits at the top of its own private stairway at the Carriage Inn, in downtown Bandera, right across the alley from the 11th Street Cowboy Bar. Main Street, the river park and the historic district are an easy walk; at Christmas, so are the light displays.



It is set up for living in, not just sleeping in: a full kitchen with an oven and stove, a fridge, a microwave, a toaster and a coffee maker, a dining table, air conditioning and heat, Wi-Fi and satellite TV, a queen bedroom and a full bath with a tub and shower. Linens, a hair dryer and an ironing board are provided. Cowboy-era antiques keep it in step with the rest of the inn.



The backyard is shared with the inn's other guests, with a charcoal barbecue pit, a large outdoor fireplace, a fire pit, string lights and plenty of tables and chairs. Out front, the shaded porch has Adirondack chairs, a porch swing and a view of the old Wild West carriage the inn is named for. Covered parking for the inn rooms is first come, first served, with street parking nearby.



Early check-in may be available on request. Every stay includes the Texas Hill Country Travel App, a local guide for exploring the area.



WHY WE LIKE IT

Of all the Carriage suites, Tarpley is the one people book for longer stays. It has its own private entrance up its own stairway, so it feels like a small apartment of your own in town, not a room at an inn.

SLEEPING

Bedroom: queen bed

One full bathroom with tub and shower



GOOD TO KNOW

The Tarpley Suite is upstairs, reached by its own stairway.

The Carriage Inn sits directly behind the 11th Street Cowboy Bar, so live music can carry late into the night.

Your suite is entirely private; only the backyard and fire pit are shared with other inn guests.

The primary renter must be 18 or older.

One small, well-behaved dog is welcome; any pet fee is shown when you book.

The Carriage Inn has five suites and a separate cottage, so a bigger group can book more than one, or the whole inn for up to 25.

Check-in is 3 PM and check-out is 11 AM.
