The cabin was great for our group of 12, rare that each of us can get a bed. The downside was having to bring our own sheets, towels, etc. Outside of that we had a great time! ##### Austin M.

It is stocked with the basic necessities. Plenty of space for everyone. Some of the other reviews mentioned the a/c not keeping up. There are notes near each thermostat telling you exactly how low you can go with the temp. I’m 51. 72 is warm for me but the other guests were ok. We were also on the river during hottest parts of the day. It cooled down nicely at night. 😊 ##### Tanna V. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott J. Jul 27, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### This House Is Vacation Rental Goals! This house is gorgeous! The layout is amazing! It allowed the young adults in our group to socialize without disturbing the older adults! The decor is easily one of the best we have seen and we have stayed in a LOT of vacation rentals! The porch is seriously amazing! We found the location to be perfectly situated for all things we love to do at the Frio. We are Texas Parks annual pass holders so we booked reservations at Garner for each day of our stay! It’s the perfect place to hang in the river! The cons of this home are few but to assist others when booking here they are! We chose to bring our own linens. The listing is not accurate listing twin bunk beds in the rooms. What is actually in the rooms are twin over full beds (which we thought was amazing) but could pose an issue when bringing your own linens! As other reviewers stated the A/C is inadequate in one bedroom upstairs and in one bedroom downstairs. We made a quick trip to Family Dollar and purchased fans to make the rooms slightly more bearable. Another issue we found was there was one garbage bag provided, one roll of paper towels, and one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom for our 6 night stay. The hand soaps were empty and no dish soap was provided. These things aren’t deal breakers but would have been nice to know ahead of time since things are pricey to purchase in Concan. We really enjoyed our stay at this property and would definitely book here again! ##### Scott J. Stayed 6 nights in Jul 2024 ### 8/10 Good #### kevin S.

The large deck and campfire area were an added bonus. We stayed three nights and had a great time. The Frio was too low to float but we were able to swim and hike at Garner State Park. The hike up Old Baldy was outstanding and the Frio Bat Cave was amazing. I highly recommend the Rustic Retreat. ##### kevin S. Stayed 3 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stephen P.

The vacation rental was spotless. I was happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We stayed at the Rustic Retreat for July 4th and had an overall good experience but definitely some room for improvement. The great: - Easy check-in process: basically just show up and they give you the keys and you can head to your rental -There is plenty of hang-out space for the number of people the rental sleeps, and the kitchen comes with plenty of pots/pans/cooking utensils. There is also a large pantry to store food and keep the counters clear. -The property is fairly private due to the trees along the property line on both sides, and backs up to a hill. The grill is sturdy and the covered patio is an awesome spot to hang out. We didn't use the fire pit because it was really hot out, but was a nice feature. The could-be-better: - The AC does not keep up with the size of the house. In the middle of the day the cabin easily reached 79 - 80 degrees. Additionally one of the upstairs bedrooms never cooled down and folks had difficulty sleeping in there. - Save your money on the linens package: The pillows provided with the are pretty \*\*\*\*\*\* (small, flat) and don't have pillow cases (ew). Additionally, they don't make the beds they just put the folded sheets on them and you have to make it. We had a four day stay and only 1 towel per person, so had to dry off with damp towels after the first day. -We never successfully found the landing for river access, even after talking on the phone with the office. No one in the community knows what it is, and the map provided with the rental is definitely not helpful. Ended up paying $20/day for parking at another spot. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chelley J.
