Perfect Frio Getaway
Drink morning coffee watching the Sun rise rising right in front of you over a serene portion of the West Frio River. While the Frio is low right now, this West section had water for river walks and playing. Some small perch in a few pools. Hosts go out of their way for a perfect stay. Walk down to the river for those without mobility issues. Hope to return one day.

Great cabin
Overall the cabin is excellent but the cleanliness is lacking. Both toilets had to be cleaned before we could use them. There are cobwebs all over pics and ceiling, ceiling fans haven't been dusted.To be honest - we had a great time and will be back. Just wish it was a bit cleaner.

Lovely Cabin in Remote Location on Frio River
My wife and I frequent the Texas Hill Country and look for quiet cabins in remote areas. This one was perfect for us. The cabin is well maintained, clean, and lacking in nothing. The location was remote, quiet, and literally on the river. It is hard to access the water because of the steep river bank. There is a large rope provided to stabilize your climb down and back up. Not a problem for us able-bodied old folks. Kids would love it. We found our stay to quite enjoyable and look forward to returning in the future.

Nice overall views, the cabin is well equip, the living room ( chair and futon) should be updated and access to the water is difficult at best. at least if over 60 yrs of age even then you need to be very careful. easy access to town and restaurants. I would visit again.

Just what we needed for a family vacation. The river provided hours of enjoyment for the kids to fish. Just a short drive from Garner State Park. Beautiful scenery.

Amazing Place
This was our 6 year going to Double Dog Cabins. I can not say enough wonderfully things about the place. It has it all. Great view, privacy, easy river access. The house is very cute and has everything you need. And the owner, Mr. Moore, is wonderful and extremely helpful. Already have next year booked.

Perfect Little Cabin & Spot
My husband and I stayed here for our anniversary and it was absolutely the perfect place! The cabin was equipped with everything you could need and the views were breathtaking. The climb up and down to the river is very steep so you'd need to be able to handle that to access the river from the property. John was great and very helpful. Our dogs also had a great time swimming in the river. It was deep enough in spots for them to swim but shallow enough for us to sit in chairs and enjoy the water. We definitely plan to return again for another visit.

Perfect Cabin on the River
This was a great spot tucked away with a fabulous view of the river. Got to relax with the family with our own little piece of the river, not many people around. Super quiet and the house had everything we needed.

Had a blast!
This was our first family trip to the Frio and a memorable one! Had no surprises at the property and Mr. Moore answered every question we had. The privacy was what we looked for and only saw our neighbors from the other cabin during our stay. Went to the swim hole at Concan and missed the river at the cabin (the crowds)! Grilled each night and enjoyed the wilderness there as well. Boys loved Yahtzee during the storms and plenty of room in the cabin for our family of 5. Will stay again and recommend to friends!
