Other details to note
Son’s River Ranch also rents Riverside Cabanas that can be added to a guests stay but it’s best to reserve ahead of time as we are normally full every day in the summer and most weekends. Cabanas are available from 10:30 AM - 6:30 PM and come with picnic table, BBQ pit, comfortable outdoor wicker furniture, water and electricity. Cabana rentals are extra, though Cabin guests may use picnic tables, lounge chairs and umbrellas down by the water free of charge.
We also rent tubes and kayaks. We have another location 2 miles downriver which is our tubing/kayaking take out. Shuttles run back and forth during the high season every day and most weekends during the off season (we do not run shuttles in the winter however and shuttles must be scheduled ahead of time). Our section of the river is very family friendly and has no dangerous dams or rapids. It’s a great place for beginners to kayak and just about anyone can tube. We provide free life jacket use for non or weak swimmers.
Neighborhood description
We are located in the country, but we are easy to get to. There isn't much in the immediate area as far as restaurants and shopping so it's best to bring your own food and plan to cook and BBQ. We do have a convenience store and Dollar General located a few miles away as well a local favorite restaurant called Franks. A little further out you will find some of the best BBQ in the state in both Lockhart and Luling! If you head to Lockhart try Smitty's or Black's BBQ in Luling the place to go is City Market! Blue Lotus winery is also not far away as well as BS Brewery.
Getting around
The River and all amenities are within walking distance. You are welcome to bring bikes if you like.
Guest can temporarily park right at their cabin to unload but then we ask Guests to please park in the free parking areas behind the cabins.
