You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

A perfect family vacation on the Frio River.

Looking to enjoy the eclipse this October or the one in April here is your spot.
Dreaming of a perfect family vacation this summer? Downum on the Frio is the place for your family or even a group of friends. Relax on the deck above the pool, swing into the clear Frio River from the rope swing at the swimming hole or just sit in a river chair with your favorite beverage in your hand. We have something for the entire group.
Anyone in the group love to ride, well we are located right off 337, one of the Twisted Sisters, famous for the best ride in Texas.
Home is 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath located on the Frio River. Just steps away from the fresh clear waters of the Frio River and 1 mile from the town of Leakey, where you can shop for supplies or enjoy the charming hometown shops. Property also has a pool for those who want to relax and lounge with a large deck for outside enjoyment.
Will sleep 14 comfortably in 5 queen beds, 4 upstairs, also upstairs one twin, as well as a sofa sleeper and twin in the living area with linens and towels supplied. There are 4 TV's, free wifi, fully equipped kitchen, laundry area and gas grill, wood burning grill and gas flat top for cooking out of doors.
On your bike and need supplies, give us a call and we can have what you need waiting for you when you arrive.
Leakey has some new restaurants and night spots not to be missed as well as a few new food trucks.
Another special thing about Downum on the Frio is the river dog Roadie. She will entertain you and adds to that home feeling. Roadie has all 5 star reviews.
We have added a small bedroom space downstairs with a twin bed, perfect little private space. If you need more space there is a cabin on the property that sleeps six, two bedrooms, two baths with a queen size sofa sleeper in the living area. To check it out look up the Bunhouse on the Frio VRBO # 2334096. The combination of both places gives large families room to spread out but be together. Both places still have some August openings and the river is flowing and the pool is cold. Book now for a great vacation.
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony. There's space to spread out with 4 bedrooms and a dining area. Other standard amenities include a private pool, a washing machine, and a fireplace.

The house was very clean. And very roomy. Location was right on the river, which made it easy to walk down and enjoy the river from the backyard. Awesome views from the deck and pool area. Host was very friendly. And lives on site which is very convenient if you need anything. Highly recommend this property.

The home was amazing! We had planned on spending our days at Garner. We did end up visiting the day we checked in. But, there was no reason to go back. Everything we wanted, we had right in our backyard. I could not have asked for a better host. She was so sweet and was just a phone call away for anything we needed.

Stayed here with 7 teenage boys and my wife & I. We had a great time! Plenty of room for everyone and the proximity to the river is awesome. The boys loved the rope swing and the ability to fish so close to the house. The host was great and it's convenient that she is nearby. Kitchen was well stocked and there were multiple grilling options. We tubed twice while we were there, once at Happy Hollow (about 10-15min from the house) and once at Andy's in Concan (20-25 from the house). Both places provide shuttles. Overall the house was great and we would stay again.

Excellent spot

We stayed here for a long weekend trip with one other family and had an amazing time. The house was great, we loved hanging out on the deck and the kids loved swimming in the pool and river! The hosts were very thoughtful and very easy to communicate with and we couldn't have asked for a better, more comfortable stay. 5/5 would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful Property

Great location, even when the river was super low - still plenty of water in the "swimming hole" and lots of little "pools" for the little ones. Loved the house and it's history all throughout. Very close to Leakey to get food or groceries, and a quick trip to Garner for some dancing. Kids and adults both loved the pool and HUGE porch.

This place has absolutely everything you need for a comfortable stay. The well-equipped house was rustic yet updated inside—a clean, cozy space that felt like home. We enjoyed the covered deck on the back of the house. A huge above ground sparkling clean pool with our very own rope swing was also a hit with everyone. We are already planning a return trip. Thanks for a great getaway!

Kids love it!

We spent 4 nights here in August and had a great time. It is perfect for kids with the pool with rope swing at the house, and the beautiful Frio a short walk away. Of course, Roadie the river dog was a big hit as well! We had 6 people in our group so we had plenty of room. The house is very clean and equipped with just about anything you could need to cook, and enjoy the pool and river. Our grandsons said this was the best vacation ever! Thanks for a great visit and we will be returning.
