About this property
On 3 Twisted Sisters Loop, Great for Motorcycles, Couples Getaway, Pets Welcome!
Come and unwind in the quiet Frio Canyon and watch the sunrise over the hills while you sip your coffee. Take a picnic lunch down and cool off in the Frio River at our private river frontage. Grill some burgers and dine al fresco. Sit outside and experience some of the darkest skies in Texas - you’ll even see the Milky Way most nights, and roast marshmallows over the fire pit.

The new Frio River Nest is a tiny cabin perfect for either a one person retreat or couple’s getaway. At a cozy 240 square feet, this nook of a cabin has everything you need for a rejuvenating experience in the beautiful Texas Hill Country.
The Nest sleeps 2 in a queen-sized bed and offers a bathroom/shower combo. The sitting area (loveseat & smart TV) and kitchenette offer everything you need for a quick weekend or extended visit.
Outside you’ll find a cozy front porch with some lounge chairs, and down the steps are a couple of Adirondack chairs around the fire pit, a Weber charcoal grill, and a picnic table under the trees for dining al fresco.
Our 5-acre property features 3 individual cabins. You may see your neighbors, but each cabin enjoys plenty of space. If you're interested in renting the entire property for a family or friends gathering, send me a message for rates.
Our spot on the Frio River is perfect for relaxing, not too deep, and offers several swimming ‘holes’. Park your chairs and canopy in the river and kick back with a cold drink.
If you’re looking for a quiet getaway, our private stretch of river is enjoyed only by surrounding landowners and their guests - there are no tubers passing through.
Wanting more of an active getaway? Head down to Garner State Park for some stand up paddle boarding, hiking up Old Baldy (elevation 1840ft), and stay for the storied dance that’s happened nightly during summer months since the 1940s. Or head over to Lost Maples for excellent hiking with trails for every level of hiker, and where in the fall you can check out the prehistoric Maple trees and their gorgeous fall foliage.
-Garner State Park - 19 miles -Lost Maples State Natural Area - 29 miles -Neal's Dining Room - 27 miles -Devil's Sinkhole State Natural Area - 38 miles -ConCan, Texas - 27 miles -City of Leakey - 9 miles -The Sisters are a connecting trio of Texas county roads, Ranch-to-Market Roads (RM) 335, 336, and 337, that form a 100-mile loop around some of the prettiest country Texas has to offer.
Please note our section of the river here is not suitable for tubing or kayaking, but if you’d like to go, both Leakey and Concan offer several river outfitters. We recommend Happy Hollow just south of Leakey and Andy’s on River Road in Concan where you can rent tubes and kayaks and enjoy 2-way shuttle service.
Not a summer outdoors person? We still have some thing for you. Leaf watchers love us in the fall and snowbirds love to use our cabins as a getaway in the winter. Our area is also great for birders as birds and monarch butterflies migrate through our area year round.
A beautiful destination anytime of year!

Great place to make a home base for daytripping in the area. Also perfect for going nowhere and pure relaxing. Just what we needed for a little weekend getaway.
Frio River Nest cabin is great for 1-2 + dog. Lucky to have a full moon while I was there and 3 days on the river with my water dog. Comfortable and clean... quiet and secluded... lots of options for trails and dining nearby in Leakey or Concan.
This was such a nice little get away, we had been dealing with the hurricane aftermath and this is exactly what we needed. We enjoyed the day down at the river which was peaceful and beautiful, so relaxing. The cabin was perfect and had everything we needed, so cutely decorated. Can’t wait to come back.
The cottage was just right for my husband and I. It was cheerfully decorated and all our needs were met for a comfortable and relaxing visit. It is easy to find with the instructions from the owner. We will be back again!
Compact lodging that provides all that's needed. Dorm sized refrigerator. Nice queen bed with chenille accents. Bird decor. Comfortable mini-split a/c. Several steps from parking to porch. Lovely space to sit outdoors. River is nearby, but tread with care if you're not steady of foot. Enjoy the scenic drives!
My husband and I celebrated our 35th wedding anniversary in this charming cabin. The cabin itself was a delight – cozy, immaculately clean, and boasting a comfortable bed, exactly as depicted in the photos. We were particularly enchanted by the surrounding scenery. Visiting in fall, we were treated to a picturesque display of changing tree colors, complemented by superb weather.
One of the highlights of our stay was the spectacular stargazing at night. Away from the city lights, the sky revealed a breathtaking tapestry of stars, adding a touch of magic to our evenings.
One minor setback, unrelated to the cabin, was our inability to access the Lost Maple Area Park due to a lack of reservation. However, this turned into an unexpected adventure as we explored nearby towns, finding joy in the unexpected. The river in front of the property added to the cabin's allure, although it was too cold for a dip and the rocky terrain made walking challenging.
Overall, our anniversary stay was a blend of tranquility, beauty, and a touch of adventure. The cabin provided the perfect backdrop for our celebration, and the surrounding area, despite some accessibility issues, offered delightful surprises. It was a reminder that sometimes the road less traveled, or in our case, the path un-hiked, leads to memorable experiences. I would recommend this cabin to anyone seeking a serene getaway with the potential for spontaneous exploration and enchanting night skies.
We had a great stay. Perfectly sized cabin for myself and my husband. Hes 6'4" so I was worried that it might feel small or bed would be too smal but it was not . We actually both commented that bed was really comfortable and we slept well. The little path to the river access is a very short walk. We also walked further down the old rockspirng road to a bridge where the rovef goes over the road way. It was a cool space. Easy trip to Garner State Park from here as well. Very nice trip.
Peaceful place to get away from the city life. Access to the river should be maintained. But it's a walking distance if you can't drive your vehicle to the river. Just have a dolly to haul your stuff.
The directions host sent in email were much appreciated as internet unavailable much of the road from town to the cabin. The cabin was cozy with lovely simple decor. Though small, the cabin was stocked with everything we needed and a few unexpected items such as kettle and tea assortment and even a wine bottle opener! The abundant wildflowers and short walk down path to shallow riverbed made for enjoyable nature walk. We enjoyed our little getaway to the Nest.
This tiny cabin is a bit off the beaten path, making it perfect as a get-a-way. We enjoyed relaxing in the river, reading on the porch, star gazing, and cooking sausage, bacon and even eggs on the grill. We met the nicest folks in the cabin next door - an unexpected pleasure.
Christy has made the cabin so welcoming! Everything is comfortable and well designed. There was even a box of supplies available for painting rocks. I had so much fun painting one morning while there was a light rain.
River access was great. There is a small set of rapids and a waist deep area to take a dip. We loved being able to bring our dog. He had a great time as well! We will be back.
