Cabin was really clean and furnished with just about everything you could need including coffee. The window units worked great, both rooms had an fan as well. Beds were nice and comfortable also pillows provided are great (my pillows). Water heater works great and water get very hot! Location was great just a few miles from free river access and the Garner State Park. Good thing to know is there is only general stores not an actual supermarket so buy any specialty foods you enjoy beforehand.

I met my husband, Darren (Daz) in 2001 while he was working here in the states. He moved here from Scotland in 2001. We then had our son, Connor in February 2004 and our daughter, Isla in May 2008. The first time I took my husband to the Frio River he fell in love and we kept the family tradition going with our kids, making it a must every year. Then we moved to the beautiful Texas Hill Country in April 2015 & bought Whiskey Mountain Inn on July 22, 2016. We are looking forward to this new adventure.
