The Ranch Cabin @ Whiskey Mountain Great Location!

The Ranch Cabin @ Whiskey Mountain Great Location!

10/10 Excellent
"The Ranch Whiskey Mountain cabin was great. Though weather worn, the cabin has wonderful charm and is a great location for visiting Garner State Park (quick side note: you do need to bring your own bed linens and bath towels). The morning sunrise is beautiful to watch on the front porch as the light reaches over the horizon.The Whiskey Mountain hosts are very responsive to communication and ready to help or answer questions. Overall 5/5 would recommend!"

The water was beautiful and perfect for enjoying the day.We had such a great time and would definitely recommend staying here.

"We rented an RV and had no idea this was even a thing. The owners go out of their way to make sure you are satisfied. Nothing is ever perfect, but just having someone try their best to make you happy is what matters most to me. The property itself is amazing and this is definitely a place we will come back to, either renting or bringing our own RV. They are also right in the heart of where the best spots on the Frio are."

Adorable cabin STEPS away From the Crystal Clear Frio River - Terrace #3

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at Frio River Cabins. The cabin was clean, Veronica was friendly, courteous, and helpful. The beds were comfortable, the river was wonderful, the grounds were well maintained. There were a couple of things that could be improved, however, that kept me from giving it 5 stars; the air conditioning is not central cooling and so the room where the unit is located was comfortably cool, the other room was not so comfortable. The river access was ok but could be better. By that I mean, you cannot walk into the water, you have to climb down a ladder or jump into it from a high ledge. That’s ok for young people, not so great for older people like us. On the plus side, I really enjoyed all the birds. They keep numerous bird feeders out so if you’re a birder it’s a great place for birding. All in all, we had a great time and would stay there again."

Cozy Log Cabin called Buffalo Horizon. Sleeps 4. Close to Frio River

10/10 Excellent
"Cabin was clean and nicely kept. If you want coffee, there is a small Keurig but no K-cups; a couple bottled waters are provided to start you with. You need to bring more bottles and K-cups but it was not a deal breaker for us. Jack-n-Jill bathroom, TV’s in each room. Mini split A/C’s were nice for different cooler/warmer sleeping people. No washer/dryer but was also not a deal breaker. Kitchen is stocked otherwise as far as cooking utensils, pots/pans, silverware, etc. Property is at the end of a long road so it feels very remote and safe, very quiet - however it is a one car road so there will be times you may need to pull off.There is another cabin in close proximity (I believe another rental of the same company) but we didn’t really mind - we never heard the other people, even when they were outside. You do have a dedicated driveway to your cabin so you’re not encroaching on the other cabin and likewise them to you. I do believe there was some property work going on during our stay so there a was a little machinery noise but we were already up and moving around (around 10am) so we were not woken up by beeping. Front door window blind is missing but all other windows are covered. We used a towel and hair ties fastened to the plastic pieces where a blind was at one point.Communication with hose was very fast and clear. We do plan to make a river trip a yearly thing and will plan to stay at this cabin again (or the neighboring one) if dates match up."
