Cottage on the Frio River

Drive in or fly in to relax in a cozy 3 bedroom cottage on the Frio River. Yes, we have an air strip for those of you who have the capability of flying in. The views will bring tranquility and you will not want to leave. Enjoy the fire pit on the rock patio that over sees the views of mountains and trees. The river is approximately 200 yards away where you can enjoy swimming or fishing. When not at the river, challenge your friends/family to a game of corn hole or horse shoes. The cottage on the river is a great place to get away from the business of life and to slow down and enjoy the ones that mean the most to you.

***please be aware that during a drought, we have no control over the flow of the river. Our refund policy is posted and it will be followed. **

Amazing. Quiet Property.

This property was absolutely amazing. The back porch view was outstanding giving us the appreciation to enjoy the scenario. The stars popped at night, we saw critters, and the property’s river access allowed my kids to fish and even swim some. In fact, i found some deep water holes when Inwas rescuing a fishing lure on the opposite river bank. In addition, the property was located conveniently to the grocery store in Leakey and were able to hang out and enjoy music at the local venues.If you are looking for a quiet get away and reconnect with your loved ones, book this place. Rumor has it, that they are adding a pool as well so you can break things up with the family.

Excellent fly in cabin

Beautiful property, great views, very nice and comfortable cabin. Very convenient right on the airport. The airport is great, good asphalt and good tie down cables. Short walk into town. There was some road noise and shooting going on but it wasn’t bad, still a very peaceful setting .

It was a peaceful place to relax and get away from the city. Beautiful land. Too bad the river in the back was dry but we still enjoyed a day at Garner State Park.

A Great Frio Home Away from Home

This farm house was one of our favorite places we have ever stayed at the Frio. Quiet and relaxing yet close to the float. The screen doors and beautiful views with a great layout and very comfortable. We all fell in love with the character and views of this house. Loved the land to wander on.

Cute little cabin, great getaway

This property was perfect for our family (dad, mom, and 4 kids ages 15 through 4, and goldendoodle). Great location, close proximity to Garner where we went two nights for the dance. We also spent a couple afternoons there since the river was low on the property but nothing anyone can do about that. Great getaway to unplug and reconnect!

charming cottage in the hill country

Cute house outside of Leakey, close to the west fork of the frio. River is dry for the most part, but they have been going through a terrible drought. Back porch has beautiful views of the hills. Nice walking trail down to river bed. House is old and has alot of charm, but needs some repairs and updates to make the house more comfortable.

Quiet, peaceful getaway!

We loved our stay! The view from the back porch was phenomenal and we ended up spending most of our time there relaxing. The house was very clean, our dogs enjoyed the fenced yard, beds were comfortable. The property is just on the outskirts of town, so you feel like you’re away from it all but close enough to town to get your necessities. You’re minutes away from Garner State Park and some gorgeous drives. Definitely would stay again!

Great vacation cabin!

The cabin was just as described. We had 7 in our group and everyone had enough room, the beds were comfortable and the back porch had fantastic views. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our food. The dishwasher need to be screwed in tight, and there were a few boards on the porch that need replacing , but other than that

My family and I spent a few nights for New Year's. This is a beautiful place, the entire area is amazing, the view is awesome, couldn't have asked for more! My family and I loved the cottage, all clean, comfortable, safe, the response to our needs was immediate and friendly. We have stayed at other cabins in the area in the past, but this one will now be our favorite place to stay; we are already planning our next vacation time there again.

Nice getaway

A nice and relaxing weekend. The beds are super comfortable and the view was great. The place needs a little TLC but overall it’s really nice. The dishwasher needs to be secured to the cabinet, toilet paper holders are broken, the hot tub never warmed up - but we had a relaxing weekend and I recommend this location to fellow travelers and family.

No water, no problem

This cottage is in good condition for being built in the 1800s with lots of charming original features (plus plenty of modern updates as well!) The Frio was low (practically non-existent) but it really wasn't a problem; Garner was a quick trip away and with day passes we were able to spend some time there in the river. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The host is helpful and responds quickly!

Good but could tweek a few things

The lighting was pretty bad in the house with white fluorescent bulbs. toilet paper holders were broken and not any counter space in the bathroom. The back porch and view is amazing! No water in the river next to it which was deceiving from the pictures. We loved being so close to Garner and had a great time!

Private river getaway

We knew ahead of time that the river would be low and were a little worried, but we walked approximately 200 yards upstream and found a small, clean, fresh water swimming area. The property was clean, quiet and well stocked as advertised. It was also fun to see some plane activity during our stay at the nearby airport. The hot tub was a fun bonus we didn’t think we’d use, but enjoyed lots of time in it! We were less than 5 minutes away from town, making it easy to grab a meal or supplies. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Getaway

My family of four plus our two dogs recently stayed here for a long weekend and had blast. The property was beautiful with great views, sunrises and sunsets`. We spent mornings and evenings on the patio, taking day trips to the various state parks in the area. The hot tub under the stars was a definite plus. This was the first time we brought our dogs on a trip and the house was set up very well for them, surrounded by a fence to keep them contained so we didn’t have to worry. The dogs relaxed as well…lying on the porch, overlooking the meadow and taking in the views. The house was clean and owner was very responsive to a few questions we had. We would definitely recommend and are looking forward to getting back!
