About this property
Historic 1869 Whiskey Mtn. Home Great Location- Sleeps 15-22 Great Location
My place is close to Garner State Park (3 Miles), Lost Maples Park, Frio River, Concan, Utopia, Kerrville, & Uvalde. The famous three sisters (best driving roads in the USA) You’ll love my place because of the location, the ambiance, and the outdoors space. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets), Pets are an additional $15 per pet, per night. If you are wondering how we got our name Whiskey Mountain….Many years ago during the prohibition times, a whiskey distillery was developed in a cave in the mountain behind our property. The Bootleggers were caught selling their production and the local population decided to call this “area” Whiskey Mountain. It was built in 1869 and is a 1 ½ story German farmhouse with a lot of history and tales! The stories written tell of families full of love with dances in the front rooms and horses tied up to the front cypress tree posts that hold up the 50 foot front porch! Whiskey Mountain Inn is nestled in the Texas Hill Country off Hwy 83 about 3 miles South of Leakey, Texas. We are convenient in location to many attractions in the Frio River area such as Garner State Park and Lost Maples State Natural Area and we are within a very short distance to river access.

The owner had great communication and allowed us to bring our dogs. She was very helpful. The property was so clean and was nice and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it to anyone.
This house suited our large family just right, we had a great time and the house had a farm house cozy feeling. Our children and family loved the time we spent together. There was plenty of supplies to make a whole Thanksgiving dinner. We definitely will be coming back in the future and highly recommend it.
The house was older with a pretty closed floor plan. It was in a great location for Garner State Park and tubing the Frio. It served the purpose for a last minute trip. The only hassle really was having to bring all our own towels and bedding for everyone on the trip and having to make all the beds once we got there.
This was the perfect stop for our entire family. The location is so close to eveything Garner State Park, Utopia, Frio River, and our favorite Lost Maples.
The place has the old country feel but with all the modern necessities. It was so peaceful with all the beautiful trees. So much room to explore around the big home. The beds were very comfortable.
Lots of activities for us to do. My family loved hanging aroung the firepit at the end of the night sharing great stories.
The cabins are very soaced aoart. So you have room to explore. You are close to a few stores if you forget something.
We definitely will visit again. We enjoyed traveling through the roads with the beautiful trees as a backdrop.
Very cute and cozy cabin. Great for our multi-family vacation. The host was very communicative, answered all of our questions, and made the stay very simple and enjoyable.
The property is gorgeous; lots of area to walk around and for the kids to play, they had fantastic communication, everything was clean love that they had double mattress protectors! Friendly and loved learning about the history of the area and house. One of our new favorite places to stay in Leakey. It was close to Garner State Park and not far from lost Maples. We had a blast and will come back again!
Over all we had a great stay. Nice property but a little cramped for our big Ol’ Family. One small issue with a door but nothing that kept us from enjoying our stay:)
Great location but we had to cut our trip short. Every night you could hear rats running around. The in-laws saw some on the restroom and you can heard them trough the walls.
Great historical house with an amazing property! Plenty big enough for the entire family.
Only cons for us were having to bring your own towels and sheets plus no washer and dryer. So if your staying longer period of time with the whole family not having this amenity can be a bummer. Also having an actual shower would be nice!
Overall great house, great host and plenty to offer.
The house was really cool. We enjoyed the old home, the hardwood floors and such. Sleeping arrangements were fine. Some of the smaller mattresses on the beds were not comfortable according to some of our family members. And if only two bathrooms is a challenge for you, that could be an issue. We did fine.
The location and communication with the host was great, however there was an issue with the sewage system over following into the yard. This caused one of the bathrooms to be out of order which was inconvenient with 18 people staying in the house. Other than that it was great.

Disappointed
We checked in at 4:00pm. Storm hit at 7:00 and by 7;20 we had no power. We waited around to see when it was gonna come back on. 21/2 hours we left for a motel because of our lil ones. When emailed the next day we got one short email and it said “ there is nothing we can do, we have no control over the storm! They didn’t respond to anything after that…
We have been coming to the Frio every summer since 2008 and we love it , This was our first time to stay at Whiskey Mountain Inn and we really enjoyed our stay it was very roomy for our big family
