Plenty of room whether enjoying the shade on the deck or soaking up the sun on the banks of the Frio. Located across the street from The Pecan Farm, making a short walk(or tube) over for a cold drink and a meal!
*** We are currently under drought conditions and our river is struggling. We are praying for rain so the river is flowing full and living its best life.

The home was very nice and clean! Was a little disappointed that water wasn’t closer to the house! We went to Garner State park and it was amazing ! I do appreciate the fact that the house was fully supplied with all we needed to cook with, linens/ towels provided etc! Don’t wanna have to pack up so much to travel for a couple days ! Overall nice stay!

Lovely housd

We had a great time at this property and absolutely loved the little house. The backyard set up was perfect for campfires and grilling, and the location was very convenient to get to Lost Maples and Garner state parks. The house had everything we could want and was very cozy inside. Definitely want to go back!

Very Relaxing

The property was 'as advertised'. There's been a drought so, the access to water was limited everywhere in the area. But we had a great time of fellowship on the patio and around the fire pit. If we go back to Leakey, we'd rent this property again.

Great location & nice house!

Nothing owner can do about this, but the river was very low, and we had hoped to get in it & float. The home's set up is great, b/c neither bathroom is inside a bedroom. The owner was very kind to offer us early check-in, and use of their wood pile. We really appreciated that. The only suggestion I'd make is to make the half bath door not stick. It was hard to close. We would definitely come back! Had a wonderful time despite the low river!

Perfect Getaway

This place is amazing! The house was clean and the location was close to Garner, Lost Maples and only one mile from town. The butterflies by the river were magical. There were so many! Our two dachshunds travelled with us, and they loved the vacation, too! Deer passed by the house at dawn and dusk. We picked up dinner from Vinny’s Pizza, Mama Choles and Bent Rim Grill less than 5 minutes away. The kitchen was equipped, but I don’t cook much on vacation. We had a great time exploring the day and coming back to relax in peace and comfort. The night sky was breathtaking. You can see so many stars! We can’t wait to come back.

This house was perfect for our long weekend in Leakey. We wanted a place near Lost Maples State Park and Garner State Park and the house is about 20 min from both. It is stocked with everything you could ever need and the host is one of THE nicest and most responsive I’ve ever had the pleasure of renting from!

We enjoyed staying at this property. The water was low but there were other areas nearby to use to get in the water. We used the grill and firepit for S'Mores.
