Clean and well furnished. Kitchen had everything needed and was thoughtfully stocked with all utensils/tools. Used the smoker to make dinner the second night. Quick 30-45 second walk from the front door to the Frio River. Our boys had a blast fishing all day and spending time at Garner State Park.

Very nice for a river cabin
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Mar 2025
We were looking for a quiet, private getaway and this little house provided just that. While the house could use a little maintenance (some paint chipping), it is equipped with anything you might want in the kitchen and the bedrooms are very comfortable and inviting. The living room also had comfortable seating and games to play along with a nice TV. We stayed in two days and out two days. The outside was well equipped too from the grill and fire pitt to the bench swing and adirondack style seats in the front. The walk to the river was short and easy to get to. We would definitely recommend this to anyone wanting a peaceful, well equipped stay close to the river. We had a lovely time.

This is a beautiful, remote location and is great for anyone who wants to get away from it all for a few days in the country. The Frio River is across the road, and while it was low due to recent dry conditions (we could neither see nor hear the river itself from the cabin), we still enjoyed hiking along the riverbank and wading in the river where it was deep enough to do so. Lost Maples State Natiral Area and Garner State Park are both less than an hour's drive from the cabin as well. Please note: if you plan to visit either area -- even just for the day -- call ahead for reservations. We were unable to visit Garner because they were at capacity when we arrived there, and we had not made a reservation. Thanks to its remote location, the cabin can certainly live up to its name. We only got to enjoy one truly 'starry starry night' while there (clouds), but that in and of iteself was pretty incredible.
The cabin itself is cozy and reasonably comfortable; it worked well for the four of us. At 1,000 sq ft, it can certainly accommodate small parties such as ours; parties larger than four may feel cramped though. The beds were surprisingly comfortable; that was a real plus. The owners had the cabin well-supplied; we really lacked nothing during our stay. The cabin was clean upon check-in, but aspects of it could have been cleaner. The lack of a dishwasher is probably a contributing factor here. For example, we found the coffee cups stuck to the bottom of the cabinet when we checked in, so we cleaned them ourselves before using them. Dust from the dirt road in front of the cabin is probably another factor here. The decor of the cabin is 'tired,' and the seating is adequate if not terribly comfortable. Be aware that, while there is WiFi/internet and a TV and DVD player in the cabin, there is neither cable nor satellite service. Therefore, if you want to watch TV, you need to bring some sort of streaming device with you.
The owners are fabulous. Danny could not have communicated with us better before, during, or after our stay. He seemed quite proactive and anxious to ensure a positive experience for his guests. He is a genuine asset to this rental experience.
We would definitely stay here again if our travels took us to this area, and we highly recommend Starry Starry Night Cottage!
