While there were a few issues with the property, it was still such a great experience. Loved the space, and especially the pool and grill/bar area, plus star gazing at night time. We will definitely book another trip next year, and recommend to friends. Shane was awesome to work with, very helpful.

Great location. Pool was amazing! The layout was perfect for my family of 19

This place has so many amenities! Previous mentions to prepare to stay are accurate as far as outdoor flies on food, paper products, trash bags, etc. I would also add to bring some sort of absorbable and dryable shower matt for the doorless showers. The tile floors are extra slippery when wet and you only brought a bath towel. The AC in the rooms on the East side of the house do not work very well at night, but the AC on the West side work way above average. There were several small roaches on the counters in the kitchen. Do not leave food out inside. The cabinet that slides open and closed for trash access in the kitchen is about to break… it does not slide open or close easily. Now for the amazing pros of The Branding Iron: The place is very spacious with plenty of rooms and allows families to have their own bathroom and bedroom combo in the house and then an extra half bath outside by the pool. Tons of games to play on the back porch and backyard area. Outdoor covered cabana is awesome. I would definitely want to stay here again!

The house overall was great more than we expected.

It’s a great home, just needs some improvements on appliances refrigerator wasn’t cooling at first, half of the house a/c not working, the stove/range not working property, outside TV no audio just images. Looking forward till next summer.

Amazing house with room for everyone! Very accommodating and fun for kids and adults from morning to night. Definitely coming again!

We rented this house for my daughters 15 th bday and it was a great experience from kids to grandparents. The property manager was very prompt and efficient with any request / questions made. The house was very clean and spacious for large groups with plenty of different areas to hangout like the beautiful pool area. Would totally recommend this place for your stay!

We had a family of 16 people, ranging from 10 to 80 years old. Everyone had more than enough room to relax inside and outside. Unfortunately, the Frio River was too low to hang out in but the house had enough activities to keep all of us entertained. My 78 and 80 year old parents had no problem getting around. Communication with Shane was great, one of the air conditioners was not working when we arrived on Thursday. He was able to get someone out and it was fixed that evening. The pool pump was also not working. Someone was out and it was fixed by Friday afternoon. Only complaint is the house could use a deep clean. Something fell under one of the beds, it was nasty under there. Otherwise, all was great. We will definitely be back.

We had a great time, it held 5 family very comfortable. It was clean and the place is close to everything. I would definitely use them again.

Great place for big groups and families! Lots of chairs and hang out areas. Lots of beds. Bathrooms in every room. very nice!

My family had the best time! We loved the space, and pool! The house had everything we needed and the owner and manager were so great to work with! We will stay here again for sure .

This house is amazing to stay for a large group. It was very clean upon arrival and easy access when checking in. Very roomy for all of us. Shane, the owner, responded quickly if needed, which I didn't need him at, but he responded when we checked in and checked out. Due to the severe drought and unable to float the frio, the pool was a huge plus, but we were able to get passes for everyone for the Concan Swimming Hole that is provided with house, but you have to go to the swimming hole to get them. Neighbors are at a good distance between us, so you really don't have to worry about the noise. The house was nice and cool considering that it was a 100 plus degrees. They have everything you can think of for kitchen accessories. I definitely would recommend this place to stay. We had no problems at all. I would make sure to bring paper towels, toilet paper, garbage bags sizes 13 gallon and 50+ gallon, bath/beach towels, fly and bee traps (they hover really quick to outdoor patio if you have food out. Coffee supplies. Floats for pool as well if you like to hang in the pool. Charcoal, lighter fluid, lighter, and wood for fire pit if you like to cook outside. Paper plates, silverware if you don't like to wash dishes on vacay. If you plan on cooking, I would recommend bringing food or there is an HEB in Uvalde that is about 25 miles out from the house. Recommendation: Make sure to take outdoor trash to trash bin every night cause the racoons get into and make a huge mess. We also got corn one night and placed it in back field behind the fence, so we had lots of deer visit in the evening when we were sitting on patio. It's beautiful if you love nature. Thanks again Shane, we will definitely will be recommending your place to stay at and will keep it in mind for future use.

This place was great, few things needed to be fixed but they sent maintenance over right away! Highly recommend stay.

The Branding Iron is a perfect place for our annual stay. Well appointed, spacious and clean. The outdoor area is where we spend most of our time and the brave kids loved the pool even though it was chili outside. We brought wood for the fire pit, and really enjoyed the ambiance. We have rented many cabins over the years but this one checks all the boxes.

Such an awesome getaway! House was clean and has games and an outside patio to enjoy!

Great stay.

We had our family Thanksgiving vacation at this beautiful home. We hope to be back for Summertime

A perfect stay at a great property. The river was low, but we had a pool so there was no issue. Everybody loved the outdoor kitchen and each bedroom having its own bathroom. We also had access to the Concan Swimming Hole included in our rental and made a half day of it.

Great house, great location. Plenty of parking. Quick access to great golf course. House was perfect. Thanks for great accommodations.

Fantastic accommodations! Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Working with the owners of the property was great as well.

The property was amazing. Clean. Has everything needed for a welcoming stay. Great for families and just adults. Loved the volleyball net in the pool. We had a great time. We will be booking this location again.

We had a great time and had plenty of room for the whole family. Will be renting again.

The cleaning lady was still cleaning when we arrived meaning that they did not have the house clean and sanitized. The worst part was the swimming pool it was cloudy and had a foul smell. Then we realized there was alge at the bottom of the pool. So that's the reason the kids eyes got infected.

The Branding Iron was perfect for our group of 18 family members. The kitchen and living space were exceptional. Bedrooms were comfortable for all especially with each having its own bathroom. Actually we spent most of our time in the beautiful outdoor space (when we weren't at the river). The pool was perfect for all and the lounge are was cool and comfortable. Our of our expectations were met in every way.

Everything was perfect for what we wanted.

Property and owner were amazing. We enjoyed our stay and will definitely rent again. The property was exactly what we saw in website. Location was perfect we experienced nature all around the neighborhood of our stay. This was our first time in Concan Tx glad we chose their cabin area to stay. Thank you Shane for allowing to stay at your beautiful home and allowing us to spend time together in our family trip 2021. Well worth the 5 hour drive.Sincerely A big family from lower Rio grande Valley the ZUNIGAS from “San Benito tx”

The property was clean and well maintained. It was great for all of the family. All rooms have private restrooms. Couldn’t ask for anything more. Shane, property manager, was awesome. He was always available and we had no issues with the property.
