Different folks like different types of vacation spots. If you are among the crowd that wants to stay near a river — specifically the Frio River in Texas — you’ve come to the right place. The Frio River is surrounded by gorgeous views and is a fantastic spot to go fishing, take a ride in a canoe or tube, or even swim in — an extremely popular destination located in the great state of Texas.
As a matter of fact, one Texas native and TravelAwaits contributor happens to think the Frio River is also a great place to kayak — especially in the less crowded autumn months. With crystal-clear spring-fed waters, the Frio River also happens to run through Garner State Park, offering guests a great place to cool off when it heats up down south.
If you’re looking to enjoy some river time, chances are you might want to take a look at some cabins near said river, right? Great! We’ve pulled together 10 extremely popular, highly-rated Frio River cabin rentals, all near the river. We arranged them in order from north to south for easy browsing.
