About this property

The Lodge at Lightning Bug Springs

  • If you`re looking to escape the hustle and bustle of big city The Lodge at Lightning Bug Springs is the perfect destination; 15 acres of beautiful property nestled along the banks of the Dry Frio. Don`t let the name `Dry` fool you, though. There is a swimming hole just steps away. The property offers a swimming pool, hiking, a large fire pit, a volleyball net, tire swings, horse shoes, soccer goals and large shade trees for enjoying nature. In the evening watch the sun set while the deer graze in the field.

    The Lodge offers 3 bedrooms; 1 King, and 2 Queens with 2 full bathrooms. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a full size refrigerator, range top oven, microwave, dishwasher, and coffee pot. It has a living room with two couches and two chairs. The dining area has a large dining table for 6.
    The home has central air & heat, washer & dryer and a smart tv.

    The Lodge is far enough from the noise of the main river to experience a peaceful retreat, but just minutes from Concan and its quaint restaurants, quirky shops or to float the Frio.

This was the perfect place to stay! The cabin was so clean and comfortable. It was stocked with everything we needed to cook meals every night. There is a grill for burgers and we cooked hotdogs on an open fire. The river in front of the cabin is not swimmable but if you make a short walk down we found the perfect swimming hole with fish that come right up to you. If you want to vacation and have a peaceful experience, this is the place. It is perfect and we will be back.

Property is as pictured. The house was great and spacious for 4 of us. Kitchen is well stocked with cookware. Host was quick to answer questions. The fridge was tricky. It took a day to cool enough for us to be comfortable putting food in it so just have a backup plan for your groceries. We kept ours in an ice chest. The river is not full enough to swim in but the water hole over by the cliff is, you just have to walk down. Overall we had a great time and would stay here again.

Spring break getaway

Had a great mini-spring break getaway with the family. Lovely property-lots of space to hike and enjoy, ending the day on the wrap around cabin porch watching a hill country sunset with a great glass of wine.. Great location with quick drives to Garner, Leakey and Uvalde.
