About this property

Rustic River Cabin under the Oaks and just a short walk to the river.

Come enjoy the peace and quiet of the Texas Hill Country, while relaxing in the cool waters of the Dry Frio River. This cabin is nestled under a canopy of live oak trees and just a short walk to the river. The Dry Frio River gets its name from the fact that the spring fed river meanders under the rocks at times, giving the appearance of a dry creek bed. This means the water is always cold, even in the hot summer months!
The air conditioned cabin has a simple, rustic feeling. The family room has high ceilings with comfy leather sofa and loveseat. The fully equipped kitchen has an electric stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, and plenty of cookware. The cozy master bedroom has a stone fireplace and a queen-size bed, with room for a portable crib if needed. The spacious bathroom has a lovely clawfoot bathtub/shower. There is loft area with two full-size beds and a beautiful view of the huge live oak trees.
Outside there is ample seating on the covered porch and around the fire-pit. A charcoal grill is available for those outdoor cook-outs. Just down the road, a short walk, is a community park area with a covered pavilion and outdoor activities. Wi-Fi is also available at the park area.
This is a great place for star gazing, hiking, fishing, swimming, nature watching, unwinding and making memories.

***This is the Texas Hill Country, complete with all the critters, big and small. Please bring appropriate protection, (bug spray, water shoes, hats, sunscreen, etc) to ensure you have a safe trip. Remember to respect the land, water, animals, and the people who reside here, but most of all enjoy the simple peace and quiet it has to offer.

Rustic River Cabin

Wife and I had a great time at the Rustic River Cabin. It's private, remote and perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of the city. Although there is Wifi at the pavillion, be prepared to disconnect from it all.

Quaint and Rustic--Loved Every Minute of IT!

This was a very unique experience and I'm glad we did it. This is a very rustic cabin. I felt like we were frontier living! (But with a working stove, AC, and running water.) My girls were squeamish, but they are spoiled city kids. LOL. We didn't encounter any scorpions (thank God) but there are spiders outside the property. You're in nature! All joking aside, it was quiet, restful. A bit of a drive from Concan, (about 15 miles/20 minutes) but after the second night we were thankful were weren't right off of 83. We saw deer, turkey, birds, an armadillo and a majestic buck strutted across the field when we were leaving. Yes, I would go back and stay again, but maybe without my teens. (Enough said about that situation...) They kept wanting to go to Sonic, and the nearest one is Uvalde. You go here to GET AWAY FROM IT ALL! Would be a great honeymoon spot. Be sure to take your own water and ice.

Cozy cabin

It’s an older cabin with a cozy feel. It was very secluded as the other 3 cabins next to it didn’t have anyone staying there. The dry Frio was dry but there was a nice watering hole right behind the cabin.

Peace & Quiet

At first the thought of no cell service and the distance from town a little concerning, but it is so peaceful! The ac was cold, the beds were comfortable, and it was nice having deer walk w/in 10 yards of you. The scenery is great and it's a pretty drive back to the property, would stay again!

About the host

Hosted by Kay Doebler

Host profile image
Our family has been making the trip from Houston for 50+ years. My father and his brother since the 40's. It is a hike, but once you are here and can turn everything else off, it is the best therapy available.

Why they chose this property

It is a small, usually quiet community. I like the fact that I can come here and feel like I am the only one out here!

What makes this property unique

My cabin is situated under a canopy of oak trees which makes it quite cool, even in the hot summer months. There is a trail down a small slope that leads to the river. There are NO homes in between the cabin and the river. The deer make their appearance most every night as they come out of the fields down to the river. Shake a little deer corn for them and they practically come running!
