Concan Hideaway Cabin in Uvalde County
The place was very nice. It was very quiet. You can hear so many different kinds of birds singing. It was great to sit at the porche to enjoy the nice weather, to read peacefully and talking with my husband. The house inside is very nice and clean. We had a great time there. Thank you so much, Roger and Bel.

Honey's Frio River House
We loved our stay. Had everything we neaded in the house. Very comfortable & cozy. Loved the peacefulness & serenity of it. Was a little further out than we anticipated from anywhere but was told that in advance. The wildlife was awesome. The kids loved the outdoor shower. Definitely recommend to others.

TJ's Escape *HUGE* Landmark Oak Tree *1mile2river*
This place was great and the host was very responsive. We'll definitely be back next time we visit Leakey!

Wildflower Haven Tiny Home
If you are looking for VERY lowkey with absolutely nothing to do but relax. This is the perfect spot. The place was beautiful and the wildlife was a joy to watch. There are 3 other cabins next door with privacy fences so semi private. It’s definitely a bird watchers paradise and nice trails to hike. The only thing this place lacks is a fishing hole. We love to visit this area because of a little restaurant in Bandera (The Hens Nest) that is a must. It’s a hidden gem and has the most unique food that never disappoints. We would definitely come back.

The Springs Retreat - Cozy Cabin Water View

The Maggie (Camper)
Ellen was an excellent host! She was there to greet us for check-in and give a run down of the amenities, gave excellent recommendations of the local area, and was available for any immediate questions or concerns. 10/10 amazing stay!

5 stars – A Perfect Stay! I had a wonderful experience staying at this Airbnb! The property was exactly as described—clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully decorated. Everything was spotless, and the amenities provided made the stay feel extra special. The bed was cozy, the kitchen was well-equipped, and the little touches like fresh towels and local recommendations were much appreciated. The host was incredibly kind and responsive, always available to answer questions and ensure everything went smoothly. Check-in and check-out were simple and stress-free. The location was also fantastic—quiet and peaceful, yet close enough to everything I needed. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable getaway!

Your guide to Frio River
All About Frio River
Set west of San Antonio and south of Garner State Park, the Frio River is a winding river nestled among south Texas's cypress and juniper-laden Hill Country. This brisk, spring-fed river is known for its crystalline waters that carry kayakers, floaters, and canoe-bound fishing enthusiasts past wooded banks and various riverside communities.
Concan, one of the central towns along the Frio River, is where travelers will find the main access points for floating, along with swimming holes, equipment rentals, and several bars, cafes, and restaurants. When you’re taking a break from river-bound activities, check out sites like Garner State Park and Lost Maples State Natural Area in the surrounding region for hiking and cycling. Trails for motorcycles and all-terrain vehicles also wind through the region, offering plenty of opportunities to explore south Texas's scrub forests, wildflower meadows, and highland plateaus.
The best time to stay in a vacation rental in Frio River
During the summer, Texans from all over the state cool off and float in the brisk Frio River, which passes along riverfront cabins and under the cover of cypress stands. In this part of the Hill Country, summer temperatures are high, and so is humidity, the heat relieved only by the occasional rainfall. By contrast, winters are overcast and bring colder temperatures, although they rarely dip below the freezing point.
The autumn weather is crisp and moderate, and you can enjoy the changing of the leaves as you hike along the area's many trail systems, particularly in Garner State Park. The shoulder seasons also happen to be when some of the area's most popular events occur, like the Rio Frio Music Fest in March and the Fall Festival on the Frio at the beginning of November.
Top things to do in Frio River
Garner State Park
If you’re a lover of the outdoors, Garner State Park, just 20 minutes north of Concan, has much to offer. Three miles of the Frio River flow through the park, with access points for floating, swimming, and paddling in its waters, and equipment rentals are available on site. Several intertwining trail systems allow for hiking and cycling opportunities, too. In the summertime, the park holds jukebox dances if you’re looking for more lively outdoor entertainment.
Float the Frio River
Floating down the Frio River is a generations-old Texas tradition. Whether you bring your equipment or rent from a local vendor, you’ll find several different stretches of river to float on. They range from short, refreshing jaunts to longer trips that take half a day and wind through rapids as well as calm waters.
Frio Bat Caves
South Texas has some of the largest bat populations on Earth. Large Mexican free-tailed bat colonies occupy several caves around the region, some accessible to the public, others on private land. If you’d like to encounter the bats outside their daytime home, arrive near the caves at dusk, when millions of them leave for the night’s hunt, their stunning formations covering the sky.
