"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."

RIVER IS YOUR BACKYARD!

RIVER IS YOUR BACKYARD!

8/10 Good
"The place is a fantastic cabin and bunkhouse with enviably quiet and beautiful river access. I stayed the weekend with my five older sons as part of our annual retreat. We had a great time. However, for us the stay and cost were offset by having to provide all of our linens and towels. We had one roll of paper towels and one trash bag which were insufficient for a group this size. Leaving with all the dishes done; not just running in the dishwasher, was an added inconvenience relative to the cost. Again a wonderful place but the pre- and post-trip labor felt more like camping with walls and a/c than we had hoped for."

4-bedroom house in Utopia with 450’ of private crystal clear Sabinal river front

10/10 Excellent
"My family and I had such a great time at Steve's home and are already planning our next trip back. The large shaded yard and the cold river helped us bear the August heat and we were able to have fun outside all day. The water is deep for swimming and fishing and my kids loved the rope swing. The river felt like our own private space the entire weekend. We also enjoyed our nights in the hot tub and the view of the lightning bugs and stars. There were 4 bikes on property but only two were able to maintain air. My husband and I rode into town and I got to relive a childhood memory as I had not riden a bike in years. Don't hesitate to book your stay."
