Room for everyone

We came out with a few families, all ages from little ones to grandparents, and this place was just right. The house was laid out well, plenty of space for everybody to spread out and still come together. Thoughtful details inside and out made the home comfortable. Great river views and access

Feeling Free on the Frio

What an amazing gem tucked away in some of the most charming scenery in Texas. Dipping your feet in clear cool water while watching the bass and bluegill swim by was therapy for me. The house has a incredible layout for entertaining.. I only turned 40 once and what a great way to do it. Bass

Perfect Frio River house for large group.

Our group of 18 had a great time at the La Vida La Frio. The owners put a lot of thought and care in this home. This is our 3rd time staying at one of Tom’s properties. Water was a lower than usual but we still had a wonderful time. Thanks for sharing your piece of paradise. We love it here and will be back.

Fantastic House

We loved our stay at this house!! This is the second time we have stayed at one of the properties Tom takes care of and they are always wonderful. Probably the cleanest VRBO we have ever stayed in. Everything we needed was taken care of, from trash bags to seasonings and pots and pans. The house is set up perfectly for two families and a bunch of teenagers! Definitely recommend this property!

Better than it looks online

This property is gorgeous. The views from the kitchen window of the hills are spectacular. The river was low but that made it even better because it was like having your own personal river pool out back so we kayaked and laid around in our tubes. Made a bon fire at night which was lovely.

Amazing house and location

This home was beautiful, spacious, and fully stocked with kitchen appliances/utensils. It had a large outdoor area with seating and a fire pit. There was direct lake access from the house, which is a huge bonus! It was very easy to communicate with the host. We will be staying again!

Perfect Large Family Home

Great space both inside and out. Patio was enjoyed by our adult children for playing games, watching a game and chilling. Inside was very spacious for us to all enjoy breakfast together. Even with a dry summer there was still plenty of fresh flowing water for us to enjoy paddle boarding and floating. The guys spent hours trying to catch the "big bass". Plenty of outdoor games, no need to haul your own. We will spend many future family vacays here
