Not river-adjacent. Cabins with direct access to Cibolo Creek, 20 minutes from San Antonio. Book a Riverfront Cabin Direct Creek Access On-Site Kayak Launch 30 Min from San Antonio You can leave Stone Oak at 5:15 on a Friday and have your feet in Cibolo Creek before the streetlights come on in San Antonio. That's the whole point of this place. No three-hour Hill Country slog, no canyon traffic on 1604, no half-mile walk from a "riverfront" rental to the actual river. Thirty minutes up I-35, exit at Marion, and your cabin door is twenty steps from the water. Son's Rio Cibolo is a family-owned cabin property on a quiet, spring-fed bend of Cibolo Creek — the closest true on-the-water cabin getaway to San Antonio. Our [riverfront cabin rentals](/stay-overnight) are clustered along the creek, each with private outdoor space, a fire pit, and direct line-of-sight to the water. Whether you're coming from Alamo Heights, Boerne, the Medical Center, or the South Side, you're looking at the shortest drive in Texas to a real river cabin. ## Right On The Water ![Cabin deck steps away from Cibolo Creek](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) ### Direct Creek Access Walk 20 feet from deck to water ![Kayak launch on Cibolo Creek](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) ### Kayak Launch On-site kayaks, launch from the property ![Couple at the creek swim dock](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) ### Swim Area Dedicated swim zone on Cibolo Creek ![Row of waterfront cabin decks facing the creek](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7) ### Private Decks Every cabin faces the water ## A San Antonio River Weekend, Mapped Out **Friday evening:** Pull off I-35 around 6 PM, check in, drop the cooler in the cabin. Light the fire pit. Listen to the creek instead of traffic on 281. **Saturday:** Coffee on the deck, Kayak & Paddleboard Wristbands ($19.99/person) in the water by 10. Float the spring-fed stretch, find the swimming hole near the dam, lunch at the cabin. Afternoon nap or a hike across the 100-acre property. Dinner over the fire pit. **Sunday:** Slow morning. Pack out by 11. You're back at brunch in San Antonio by noon — Pearl, Southtown, wherever you usually go. The whole weekend cost you less driving than a single trip to Concan.
