The word "Vaquero" is Spanish for herder of cattle, or "Cowboy". The cowboy tradition of ranching was inherited from the Spanish and Mexican vaqueros. That style of ranching was imported to the Americas after it was discovered that the dry climate and sparse grass would be sufficient for what the large herds of cattle would require. Bandera itself is known for its deep roots in Texas country music, with many honky tonk bars that allow you to do some two-stepping, or simply listen to live music performed by renown country artists, all within walking distance of your cabin. There are ample amount of things to do in the Texas Hill Country. For motorcycle enthusiasts, begin the journey of the 100 mile ride known as the Twisted Sisters from Bandera.

There is never a dull moment while visiting this area and experiencing this new rustic boutique motel. You will enjoy mingling with the locals in all the restaurants and unique shops - you'll be amazed at just how friendly everyone is. At The Vaquero Motel, you will go back in time to when the wild mustangs and cattle roamed, and experience the cowboy way but in a rustic and luxurious cabin, all while taking in the scenery of the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
