Christmas Cabin Rentals Near San Antonio

May 9, 2026 8 min read

Christmas at a hotel near San Antonio is fine. Christmas around a private firepit, with the whole extended family in their own cabins, on a spring-fed creek 20 minutes east of downtown — that's a different kind of holiday. The Son's family of properties stays open year-round, with heated AC cabins, Kayak & Paddleboard Wristbands ($19.99/person), and the kind of quiet you don't get on December 24 in town.

Why a Cabin Christmas Works

Family Christmas firepit at Son's Rio Cibolo

The kids run outside instead of pacing the living room. The grown-ups have their own cabin instead of sharing one. Dinner is BBQ at the firepit, not a 90-minute restaurant wait. And it's still 20 minutes from family in San Antonio if anyone needs to go visit.

The Best Christmas Cabins to Book

Couples Christmas / anniversary: waterfront cabins at Son's Rio Cibolo. Big-family Christmas: 2–4 safari cabins together. Adventure Christmas: bell tent glamping at Son's Island. Book now →

New Year's at the Cabins

FAQs — Christmas Cabin Rentals Near San Antonio

Are Son's cabins open during Christmas and New Year's?

Yes — all Son's properties are open year-round, including Christmas week and New Year's. Cabins are heated and AC-equipped for winter comfort.

How far in advance should I book Christmas?

Christmas week and New Year's weekend often book 4–6 months in advance. December weekdays and early-December weekends are usually still available 4–8 weeks out.

Is the creek swimmable in winter?

It's spring-fed and stays around 70°F, so a quick dip is possible — but most winter guests use the creek for kayaking, fishing, and dock-side firepits rather than swimming.

Yes — kayak & paddleboard wristbands are available year-round for $19.99/person.

Are the cabins heated?

Yes — every cabin and bell tent has heat and AC.

Can we host a family Christmas at the cabins?

Absolutely — many families book 2–4 cabins together for Christmas. Safari cabins sleep up to 7 each. Contact us for multi-cabin holiday holds.

Are pets allowed?

No — pets are not permitted at any Son's property.

What about New Year's Eve?

Yes — New Year's at the cabins is a popular booking. Firepit, BBQ, glass of champagne under the stars. Book early.
