Hill Country/Stays/River cabins in the Texas Hill Country
21 houses on or near the Medina, Frio and Guadalupe rivers, managed by Backroads Hill Country and booked direct. Each one says which river and whether the water is on the property or a short walk away. Hill Country rivers rise and fall with the rain, so the live levels are linked under each river.
The Medina River above Medina Lake
The Medina runs clear and cypress-lined through Bandera County on its way to Medina Lake. In a normal summer it is good for wading, tubing and kayaking; in a dry spell it drops low, so check the level before you plan a float. Live Medina River levels →
The Frio River
The Frio is the cold, clear, spring-fed river of Frio Canyon, running from Leakey down past Concan and Garner State Park. Tubing season runs from late spring into early fall, depending on how much water is flowing. Live Frio River levels →
The Guadalupe River
The upper Guadalupe winds under cypress and limestone bluffs through Kerrville and Comfort and on through the country north of Boerne. Live Guadalupe River levels →
The Medina River below Medina Lake
Below Medina Lake dam the Medina carries on past Castroville toward San Antonio, a quieter stretch than the one above the lake. Live Medina River levels →
