Welcome to the Rustic Retreat, a beautiful hillside vacation home located in the scenic Hill Country of Concan Texas. This home is designed to sleep up to 20 guests comfortably, with four bedrooms and four bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, grill, wifi and plenty more amenities that we’ll be talking about in later posts. There’s also enough relaxing, seating and dining spaces throughout the house to keep everyone spread out yet cozy when eating and conversing.
Located just 5 minutes away from the best swimming hole in the Frio River, known as The Landing, our cozy cabin will be waiting for you when you finish your day of fun on the Frio.
You may be thinking, why write a blog about a vacation home? That’s a great question. You may also wonder, how much can you write about one home?
What You Need To Know
Well, we’d like you to look at it this way, we promise to have great information on our home, but also on the area, info on the Frio River, the best local news, attractions, events and announcements to keep you up-to-date on all that’s happening. We’ll also give you helpful tips and advice on vacationing, including recipes and camping hacks that’ll bring your vacation game to the next level! When you arrive at the Rustic Retreat, you’ll be prepared for a great time. You’ll want to keep coming back, the same way we have so many friends and families who come and stay with us year after year.
We give them something wonderful to enjoy and they come back every year that they can. We will strive to give you something wonderful to read here and we hope YOU will keep coming back.
It’s amazing, though we are newly built, we have had guests who have stayed with us since we’ve opened our doors, faithfully returning to their ‘home away from home.’ They come to leave the hustle and bustle behind and return to their long-awaited hillside home, where the only call they have to answer, is the call of the Frio.
We’ll talk about the spring-fed river, explore her beauty, visit the wildlife who call the Frio home and check out all the activities you can do on this gorgeous river. Tip one, don’t forget your camera, the scenery is breathtaking.
Untouched By Man
We’ll introduce you to the whole area, a part of the Texas that has been relatively untouched by the world’s progress. You’ll be surrounded by nature and can enjoy a peacefulness and a quiet that we can’t put into words. We guarantee you, however, after you’ve experienced it, the stress will melt right off of you. Be warned though, once you leave after feeling that calm surrounding you, you’ll be counting the days till you can get back to it.
The wildlife around here is breathtaking and here on our blog, we’ll be talking about that as well and sharing some photos when the critters are nice enough to pose. You’ll hear about bat caves and bird migrations, fishing, and hunting ideas and horseback riding excursions, just to name a few.
We hope we answered the question of why we are starting this blog. I guess you could say, when we thought of why should we start a blog about our vacation home, our real question became, ‘How could we not?’
