Memories made here!

What an amazing place to celebrate my mother's 50th birthday! We had plenty of space & really enjoyed the outdoor area where we spent most of our time. Donny was an awesome host! Communicated clearly leading up to our stay & made sure we had everything we needed once we arrived (including ice). Donny takes care of his property & his guest, and we will definitely seek him out in the future.

Frio River Family Vacation

Great property with many options on where to stay. Ella’s was perfect for our family. Plenty of room and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen and living room were spacious. The outside area had plenty of room for cooking and hanging out. The path to the river was a short walk with a picnic table and our own access to the river. The owner, Don, was very hospitable and quick to respond when we had a question. We are looking forward to making this our yearly family vacation spot!

Perfect Spot on the Frio!

After going to Neal’s every Memorial Day and Labor Day for over 30 years, we wanted to branch out and see what else was out there for our family. This place was perfect! We were right on the water, so no morning rush to get your spot set up, which was great! Perfect house for littles and up. Easy to just walk back up for nap time. Had everything we needed to cook and we utilized the laundry facility while we were there. Owner and Manager of the property was outstanding as a host. Very good people. Please do not hesitate to book this property or any of the others on site if you are wanting to gather your large family together. We made memories on the frio!!

Nice Spot

The house was big enough to accommodate our party of 8 comfortably. Plenty of beds for everyone to have their own spot. It was close to the river with the option to drive a couple of vehicles right down to the river edge. Lots of shade while sitting in the river too. There was a lack of some basic kitchen items and a lot of the pans need replacing. The air conditioning in each room worked great and was really nice for everyone to have the ability to set their own temperature for their room. The location was pretty private with not much traffic and close to shops for ice and souvenirs. I would recommend this property.

Graduation Trip!

We looked for a house that could accommodate three separate families including our recent HS grads and Ella’s Guest Lodge was perfect! The extra accoms of being steps from the water made it even better! Donny is the best host and was there every time I texted him. The complimentary shuttle to either be dropped off or picked up was amazing. We’ve never brought our own tubes before this trip and decided with Donny’s shuttle service that tube rentals wasn’t necessary. Perfect!!!! The house, patio, privacy from other guests, and parking spaces was also top notch. The location is great too. Thank you so much Donny. We can’t wait to come back!!! We already miss your two dogs Sissy and Peanut!

Great spot on the Frio

Although there was no floating the river this year, this spot on the river still had plenty of water to sit out and enjoy. We loved that it had river access, a swim spa and when able to float, they shuttle you and you float back to the property. My family has been going to the Frio for over 40 years. We’ve never stayed anywhere that offered so much!

So much fun!

The owner was very friendly and never hesitated to help us if we needed anything. The river was beautiful. It was close enough to walk down, or you can drive down if you have lots of floats and chairs to bring with you. There were plenty of tables down at the river to sit at. We will definitely d going back!
