We used a Livingsocial deal for a two night stay in the River's Edge Cabins. The deal itself was…read moresuper good: $143 for a two night stay in a cabin that sleeps up to eight people. My partner and I went and brought four friends and there was plenty of space for all of us. Upon checking in, the woman that runs the place was more than eager to tell us anything we wanted to know about Concan, Garner State Park, and the surrounding towns, such as Leakey. Very friendly and personable staff. At the cabins we stayed at we could not have been more than a couple hundred feet from the Frio River, very beautiful scenery. There is a fire pit outdoors, but having a grill outside your cabin is hit or miss - we didn't have one, but our neighbors did. If you're betting on having one, call ahead to confirm first. The outdoor rules are a little strict (no music, no parking on grass, etc.) I was also confused as to why there was a $30 cleaning fee in addition to your reservations fee because you make your own beds, wash all your dishes, and take out your trash before you leave. Not sure what the cleaning fee was for aside from cleaning the floors. Aside from that, we had a really great experience. The location was idyllic, everyone we met was extremely friendly and helpful, and we had a blast. We'd love to come back.

We found ourselves in Utopia, Texas of all places for a wedding of a couple of friends. Since…read moreSabina's River Lodge is pretty much the only hotel/motel in the area, this is where we stayed. Utopia is a tiny little town and Sabinal River Lodge is at the edge. It is a minute drive to town where you'll find a few small cafes and other service stores. The Sabinal River Lodge itself is homey and rustic. It was an enjoyable stay for us. The room we had was spacious with two comfortable queen beds, a small kitchenette and a 4-person table with chairs. It seemed pretty newly refurbished. Everything worked well. They have very basic things in the kitchenette, so don't expect to cook much other than microwaving or using a small pan on the stove. There is no oven and there were no pots. I liked that they provided a new sponge and dish soap though! The fridge is also mini size. But if you're not planning on cooking much, all of this shouldn't be a problem. The cafes in town actually serve food that is affordable and delicious. Apart from sleeping, we didn't really get to spend time at the lodge to enjoy the view from the patio in the back or the outside area. We saw several deer on the property at night, but I'm sure there are other critters to see around, too. The room rate was $135 per night and the check in/out process was easy. The people we interacted with were friendly and because it is a small place, it felt very familial. If you ever find yourself in Utopia, I'd recommend this place to stay!

It's right on the Sabinal River, and is a many-generational family-owned business. Clean, comfortable, great beds, and country stylish, the folks that run the place aim to please and enjoy serving their guests. Brandi is sharp, charming and truly cares. First day we made ourselves some coffee, and relaxed from travel by spending the morning sitting on the deck, watching the hummingbirds and cardinals at the feeders, and a variety of other birds flitting through the trees. Peaceful. One in our group made a point to swim by the dam in the river a couple of times, and enjoyed speaking with some of the folks who were fishing. The kitchens are well-outfitted, and the rooms have dining tables for comfortable eating, or card and board games! There's also a pool table and a barbecue, which we made good use of. A lot of care has been put into creating a comfortable relaxed environment. Highly recommended. A worthy place to get away from routine. Feels like home.

There are tons of cabins, very cute, rustic feel but clean and comfy. We stayed in a 4/4 house which was awesome, fully stocked kitchen, flat screen tv, direct tv, games, huge dining room table, The bedrooms all had their own bathroom and 2 queen beds. Great patio space with a grill and picnic tables. If the river was up we might have been super close but in the drought who knows. It was still beautiful and fun to hike around. We utilized the pavillion/kitchen/band space and smoker room, all were nice. There are some fun bars in town, Lost Maples and Garner but we definitely utilized the kitchen. The only drawback of this place was the reservation process. It was a little confusing and might have thrown some people off but the stay was so wonderful you forgot all about that.

If you want to go "off the grid," it's perfect. They do have internet in the cabins but no tv - and only minimal cell reception is with AT&T. But this place makes it so easy to forget the rest of the world & simply relax! If you have a small family, the one bedroom smaller cabins are ideal, which is where we stayed the first time. This time we stayed with another couple in one of the two bedroom cabins & had plenty of space with 4 adults & 3 kids. Tell Butch the Disney's sent you! :)

They own Rock Island which includes quite a long stretch of the riverside and is popular for day use but not directly in the Campground so it's quiet and peaceful. Facilities at Rock Island were included In site fees so we could enjoy the area at our leisure. Thanks for the great time and we will stop back by when we next come through the area

We've stayed here a few times and it is an overall nice experience, but there are some things with…read morethe cabins that need to be addressed. 1. The keypads to enter get so hot and it is difficult to enter your code mid-day. You have to stand there for a while and wait for it to recognize what number you tapped because of the delay. Not too fun when you have kids and everyone's fingertips are burning when they try to enter the code. 2. I don't believe the cabins are cleaned thoroughly between users. When you leave you have to gather dirty linens together, take out trash, and sweep. I think that's the extent to the cleaning done, with new linens and paper products being added. On our most recent trip I brought counter wipes and wiped both bathroom countertops, and the kitchen counters, and the wipes had dust/dirt all over them. 3. Mysterious stains on our washcloths 4. I don't think the floors are mopped between users, we had an unknown substance on our bathroom floor, and we walked around in socks that turned totally brown. 5. Bring pillows if you come! Each bed comes with 2 flat pillows. The beds are very firm, too. So if you like a softer bed and bigger pillows, accommodate for that. 6. If you want to use your patio you have to clean it. Chances are it'll be COVERED in bird poop. It would be nice if the cleaning person/crew gave everything a good wash out there before the next users came. 7. If you swim in the river there's no where to put your wet items. We wanted to hang them on the patio furniture, but again- everything is covered with bird poop. We didn't want to make creamy bird doo on our swim tops. 8. The entire place is sand and rock. To enter your cabin is a small door mat, and when you step inside your cabin you may or may not have another door mat. Unless you lay a towel down inside and have your family wipe their feet off, dirt will be everywhere. Overall we had a good time as a family. But, as a family with many young kids we bring lots of gear and are ready to just relax when we get there after the long drive. It's unfortunate at the amount of dirt and dust and bird poop. I'd like to just be able to let my kids play without having to spend so much of my own vacation cleaning before we settle in, and also cleaning when we're ready to leave like an Air Bnb makes you do.
