I've never been an outdoor person myself but my husband decided to take me here for my birthday this year. I fell in love with it immediately when I arrived. I guess during this time of the year there wasn't much mosquitos and other insects, so I was able to relax and not worry about bug spray the whole time! The whole decor around the ranch is amazing to a city girl like myself. Old western design everywhere definitely makes your country experience authentic. We are definitely making this a yearly trip for a little get away with our kiddos.

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.

Tucked right up against the Frio, this spot isn't just scenic -- it's sacred. The moment you step into those clear, cold waters, everything else falls away. It's impossible not to believe in magic when you're surrounded by that kind of natural beauty. The property is well-maintained, the owners are kind and responsive, and the location feels private without being remote. Whether you're floating in the river, watching the stars, or just sitting still for the first time in ages, there's something deeply healing about this place. We'll be back. Probably many times.

It is a…read morecamping atmosphere, so do not expect bougie or luxury, but they provide you with everything you'll need in your cabin. Because the point of Riverstone Cabins is that you stay at the river all day and it is heavenly! Even in the thick of Texas summer heat, the air is breezy and not scorching hot. You can sit on your porch and listen to nature and the river water rolling over the stones and it is absolute perfection. It is peaceful and serene and the moment your feet hit the coolness of the Frio River in this secluded watering hole, you are transformed into a place that is truly magical. We cannot wait to go back every time we leave.
