Enjoyed our stay Thanksgiving week
Great location on the Frio River, close to Garner State Park. Did a great (adventurous with recent rains!) float from the Park to the property, cooked all our meals there (grill was great) & cozy place for gathering with the family.

Loved the private access to the Frio River right in our backyard! Great outdoor space for grilling and sitting out by the fire, looking at the night sky! Garner State Park and tubing on the Frio is a short distance from the house! Great time with friends and family <3
This is right on the river!! With the water so low we just walked down our back steps, threw our tubes in the river and enjoyed the river. Aside from the great location, it had everything our family could possibly need and more. And very clean! Would absolutely go back!

You and your guests were wonderful! We hope to have you stay with us again.
Our family and friends had a great trip! If you have elderly or young kids, just be VERY careful on the steps down to the river. We had 2 kids with us, and didn't have any problems...you just have to be careful! House was nice.

Nicki, Thank you for the review. We hope to see you and your guest again.
We really enjoyed our long weekend at the river. The river was low but we were still able to get in, cool off, jump off the rope swing & our grandson was able to play. The house was nice, everything was as said. We enjoyed the nice deck. Raccoons came to visit every night. The only downfall - is the hike back up the stairs from the river. We would stay here again.

Great Family-friendly House!
We had a great time here on the Frio. The house was just perfect for our small family gathering. A little hike down to the river, but well worth it. There is a great swimming hole here!
Maggie and the staff were very accommodating and we would highly recommend renting from them. The house has everything you need with the exception of linens. The kitchen is a great set up for board games and visiting.
Overall, an awesome experience all the way around.

Inga,
It was lovely meeting you and your family and we are so glad you enjoyed your stay. We hope to have you come stay with us again next summer.
We had a very relaxing stay. We love birding and there were plenty of birds to see/hear off the deck. Also, the duck could gates could be closed off to keep our dogs in place while we sat outside which was a plus. There are A LOT of steps down to the water, keep this in mind if you bring little ones or elderly. The water was low, we only went down twice and didn't stay long. As the rental says; bring sheets, blankets, pillows and towels. If you want a nicer meal in town, make a dinner reservation at Leakey Drug. Garner State Park is super close and Lost Maples is about 45 min away.
We wanted a fun but but safe trip with our adult/college kids, and we definitely found it. Your home was perfect. From the river access, to the grill, to the fire pit, and the extremely close proximity to Garner State Park. We thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and your home. We even got to include the family dog, which was a HUGE bonus for us. Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We're already discussing returning again during the summer! :)

Great spot on the water...Garner in your own backyard
We stayed at Casa Rio at the end of July for a few nights. It’s a nice little place. It’s got everything you need except bedding...bring your own pillows! The deck in back was nice, grill did the trick for hot dogs one night...view is outstanding from the deck. There’s a rope swing across the river...kids stayed on that all day...great spot to throw chairs down and enjoy. Upstairs bedroom gets a little warm but tolerable. Good spot...accommodated 2 families just fine. Short drive to Garner and Neal’s.

We are so glad you and your group had a nice time. We would love to have you back again next year.
The cabin could use some TLC in certain areas that were brought up to the property manager. The upstairs bedroom does get warm, so leave the doors open up there. Other than a few hiccups, the back patio views and Frio location made up for everything! We enjoyed meteor showers (the closest we’ve ever seen!) and played in the river every single day and just did not want to leave! We would love to return, in hopes that some things get fixed. Overall great last summer vacation.

The location was gorgeous. Did not enjoy owner showing up at 7:30 to get a copy of my I'd and cc. I was just sitting down to eat, yet she kept up her talk for 30 minutes. The house provides no bedding, towels... didn't realize it meant no pot holders too. Furniture and beds should be replaced. Mattresses so bad I was tempted to sleep on floor. My son slept on couch one night and couldn't decide which was worse. Place wasn't as clean as previous reviews led me to believe. Mattress covers were filthy and covered with hair. Will not be going back.

Paula,
We are so sorry that you had a bad experience. We really strive to do our very best to ensure that all of our guests have a great experience. I would like to take the time to address each of your concerns you mentioned, not only to clear things up with you but also so there is no confusion for future potential renters.
1.) I attempted to contact both you and your husband the day of your arrival and could not. I then sent texts and asked you to notify us of your arrival time and informed you that we would be stopping by so I could meet you and go over a few things about the property. I never heard from you all so I decided to pop over that evening to make sure you all made it to the house and check you in.
2.) No, we do not provide sheets and towels not only does it tell you that they are not provided on the VRBO listing that you read prior to picking our property, but it says it on every document you received from us via email after that. And to be quite honest, we knew a bad review was coming from you since you told us in an email prior to your arrival that you could not recommend a place that does not provide sheets and towels. Along with your husband trying to cancel the trip a day before your arrival.
3.) Now, as far as the potholders go we do provide those and kitchen towels perhaps you missed them as they are kept in a drawer in the kitchen.
4.) I am so sorry to hear that the beds were not comfortable they were all replaced not that long ago and this is the first complaint we have received on this issue.
5.) Cleanliness is absolutely a top priority at Casa Rio and we are certainly displeased to hear about those issues, we would have loved a phone call notifying us of the situation so we could have come over and replaced the mattress covers if they were, in fact, dirty and made the situation right.
Sincerely,
The Casa Rio Staff.
Beautiful property! Very clean with lots of built in outdoor seating. Right on the river. The steps down were not too bad but you definitely get a leg work out coming back up. Plan before you head down to minimize trips. We had 6 adults, 2 children and an infant in our group. There was plenty of space for everyone. Large family room and kitchen was perfect for our group and the high chair and pack and play made it really nice. The downstairs bedrooms get a little warm at night but if you leave all the room doors open it helps a lot. Pack light weight blankets in the warmer months. The window unit A/C in the second floor master works great. You might want a heavier blanket if you’re staying up there. I got cold but my husband said it was perfect. The kitchen has just about everything you’ll need as far as dishes and appliances but bring a blender if you want to mix drinks. The kids had a great time at the river and there is plenty of space for littles to play but also some deeper spaces for the adults to jump in. My grandkids already want to go back and we just left. Property management takes their time going over all the details for the property and are quick to respond if you have any questions. All in all it was perfect for our family trip. The only regret I have is not being able to stay longer.

Thank you Veronica, for this wonderful review! We love it when our guests are satisfied. You and your family were also a wonderful group to host. Hoping that you all will come again to our Casa Rio River House [right on the river]. Have a wonderful year!!
Maggie @ Casa Rio
I chose Casa Frio for the natural lighting in the living area and the privacy of the deck overlooking the river, and I was not disappointed. The view and the wildlife are fantastic. Lots of bird species I don’t see in the city. Will definitely come back after a heavy rain season to kayak. All around a comfortable place to stay.
Recommendations:
Packing in and packing out our bed sheets made me worried about brining back bed bugs. Would prefer to have fresh sheets on the beds provided by the host.
Would like a coffee table in the living room so that 4-5 people can sit around it and play games.
The smaller trees that grow close to the deck could be cut back to increase the view down to the water
Check in at noon would be better than 3pm

Thank you so much for your comments on your stay at Casa Rio River House! We are so glad you loved watching the wildlife and the peaceful and privacy of our deck. It definitely is a great time to kayak after a recent rain! We do follow CDC guidelines for disinfecting the property and the beds. Thank you for your recommendation for cutting back the trees. Check in and check out times are this way because of the turnaround for incoming and outgoing guests. We so look forward to your coming back to visit us. Thank you!
This property was very clean, and the location on the river, but not among crowds, was just what we needed! We visited in March 2021 and the river was low-ish, making it perfect for wading in spots with our youngest, some swimming for our 6 and 8 year olds, and kayaking around for all! It's also less than 10 minutes from Garner State Park, and about 40 to Lost Maples State Park- both of which offer beautiful hikes.
The listing does mention to bring your own towels, but you also need to bring all your own bed linens- even blankets and pillows as they want you to fold and set aside the comforters/pillows when you arrive.
The kitchen is well-stocked with everything we needed to cook meals, although fair warning if you want lower priced groceries, it's about 35 minutes one way to the nearest HEB. There are some convenient stores/camp shops closer for smaller items. The kitchen only has salt and pepper, so bring your own seasonings otherwise.
Also a very important note- if you have verizon you would have NO cell service (for us it was out about 45 minutes prior to arrival coming from Austin) and so the plan to call/text 30 minutes out did not work. I ended up driving back out to a camp shop where the kind lady let me use her office phone to call to let them know we had arrived for check in. I think it would be much easier if they gave the code for the key to the guests rather than trying to meet them out there, but there could be other things preventing that I'm not sure.
Louisa met us there and was so lovely and helpful. They were also easy to contact as needed via text (once we had the wifi password, we at least had that option for communication with our phones).
All in all, we would visit again, and you just cannot beat this location- the deck areas were a huge hit and so refreshing to sit out on and enjoy the scenery after the kids were down.

About the host
Hosted by Maggie Cook, Property Manager
I was born and raised in South Texas. My late husband and I purchased this home as a place to get away for family and friends. So many great memories were made in this special place. In 2009 we decided to rent our personal homes here in Concan so that others may enjoy them and make memories of there own. Since that time I have had many returning guests on a yearly basis who love the location, privacy, views and river access that this home provides. My staff and I love meeting new people and would love to host your family and friends. We are happy to answer any questions you may have and assist you in the booking process. Hope to hear from you soon.
