Frio River cabin rental

Best weekend cabin rental on the Frio River (Texas) for a young couple?

Looking for a laid-back, relatively secluded, air-conditioned cabin rental somewhere on the Frio River for a weekend in mid-August. No kids, but we may be bringing a couple dogs. Any recommendations on a particular cabin or a site to find reviews?

I rented a cabin in Leakey that was right on the Frio a couple of years ago. Very comfortable. I don't recall the exact name of the cabins... but they were right in town.

Well... as much of "in town" as Leakey gets. Which is to say that they were still plenty secluded and laid back.

Garner State Park has a Facebook fan page. That might be a good place to ask. We usually stay at the park and our only experience with renting a cabin outside the park was not satisfactory. Not to be a spoil sport, but the Frio is supposedly as high as it has been in years and you will be lucky to find a good place. Good luck and I'm jealous as we won't be making the trip this year.

We've stayed multiple times with River Oaks Resort outside of Concan and are always happy to go back. They have a dedicated access to the Frio. Though we have always had larger parties (multi-family gatherings, reunions, etc.) they have smaller cabins.
