About this property

Dark Skies & Private Frio River Access. Dogs Welcome! Book Now for Fall Foliage!

  • Nestled atop a hill a short walk to the peaceful banks of the Frio River, in Leakey, Texas, - with private river access - this spacious cabin sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children comfortably and includes all the amenities you'll need for a relaxing getaway.

    -Sleeps 6 adults + 2 kiddos
    -Newly remodeled kitchen
    - AMAZING deck
    -Private river frontage for the property a short walk away
    -Fire pit and firewood included
    -Charcoal grill with charcoal and lighter fluid provided
    -Peace and quiet
    -DARK SKIES - lots of stars

    Come and unwind in the quiet canyon under the Milky Way like you've never seen, and roast marshmallows on the fire pit. Grill some burgers and dine outside on the large deck. If you're looking for more action, head down to Garner State Park for the nightly dance under the stars during the summer, or Lost Maples for excellent hiking.

    The river is perfect for kids, not too deep, but several swimming ‘holes’. Park your chairs in the river and relax with a cold drink while the the kids run wild and free! Quiet - no through tubers - a private stretch of river enjoyed only by surrounding landowners. Please not the river here is not suitable for tubing or kayaking, but there are plenty local spots for tubing and kayaking.

    Great for birders in the spring, those seeking summer fun in the river, leaf watchers in the fall, and snow birds in the winter.

    A beautiful destination anytime of year!

    **If you bring a dog, please note there is a non-refundable Pet Fee you must pay.

Check-in was super easy and directions to the cabin were very helpful. Christy, our host, was extremely responsive to our questions and requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to be back as soon as possible! The stargazing and wildlife were spectacular. The crazy rains prevented us from enjoying river time, but it’s very nice private access.

Wonderful stay!

Great location, amazing views, and perfect river access for little ones. The house had everything we needed for us to enjoy our stay. The private river access was clean and clear, our kids had a blast and it was perfect for us adults to sit and relax. Looking forward to returning next year!

Maples trip

The place was nicely located in Leakey area with a great view of the river valley. Only complaint was sink light in kitchen was burned out and made it a bit dark on the countertop.

Cabin

The location is absolutely beautiful stunning and relaxing. The house was fully stocked for preparing meals. The drive is peaceful and beautiful to town. Only con is since it’s a pet friendly place there was tons of dog hair on surfaces, pillows, beds, towels, I swept several times and was still pulling dog hair off me and out of my mouth. The host was very responsive and communicated very well

Off the beaten path

Property, as described and the view is amazing! I wish I'd packed hiking shoes to explore the property more! Love the proximity to GSP but not the crowds you'll find in Concan. The moon was nearly full but I can imagine the sky is dreamy on a dark sky night! House is clean and roomy. Kitchen is well equipped. I would suggest a smart tv for guests to be able to cast to. Other than that, no concerns. We'll be back!

Beautiful views, clean cabin and wonderfully dog friendly with short drives to float.

This property was fabulous, clean, spacious and very accommodating. There were beautiful views. The owner had excellent communication skills. She responded almost immediately, if you had a question. We absolutely loved that we could bring our two dogs with us. There was a perfect little lagoon to take them to. We set up our shade tent and just let them lay in the water next to us, when they didn’t want to play frisbee or ball. We also thought it was fabulous there were dog toys present. Our younger dog found a toy to play with. We also thought it only appropriate to add another toy to the collection.

Peaceful paradise

Cozy cabin with panoramic views. Very private and quiet location. Spent many hours on the porch relaxing in comfortable chairs with ottomons. We are a couple from Houston trying to detox from the big city. We watched the sunrise and sunset every day. If you are a birdwatcher, this place is for you. Humimngbirds came everyday and at 7:22 p.m. like clock work, these crazy birds came and flew in circles in front of us and went to bed in their mud nests. What a show! This cabin is extremely clean! Kudos to the maid service. You couldn't tell that dogs are allowed in the cabin at all.

Lawn needed mowing. Access to river was not very accessible. Definitely not a place to expect to be able to float the river.

The place was amazing. The view was beautiful every morning. We enjoyed a cup of coffee, me and my wife the only but I would say is that the river was not as available as assumed my daughter had a broken leg and it was not easy to get to the river with all the rocks to get there.

Dark Skies was GREAT!

This vacation home has everything you could possibly need. We loved our stay, the stars on that deck at night are AWESOME!! The private river access was nice for the kids to play. Just a short drive to Garner State Park to float the river. We would definitely stay again!
