Cottage on the Frio River

Drive in or fly in to relax in a cozy 3 bedroom cottage on the Frio River. Yes, we have an air strip for those of you who have the capability of flying in. The views will bring tranquility and you will not want to leave. Enjoy the fire pit on the rock patio that over sees the views of mountains and trees. The river is approximately 200 yards away where you can enjoy swimming or fishing. When not at the river, challenge your friends/family to a game of corn hole or horse shoes. The cottage on the river is a great place to get away from the business of life and to slow down and enjoy the ones that mean the most to you.

***please be aware that during a drought, we have no control over the flow of the river. Our refund policy is posted and it will be followed. **
The vacation home is air-conditioned and features a kitchen, 2.5 bathrooms, and a balcony or patio, and there's space to spread out with 3 bedrooms. The vacation home also includes a coffee maker.

Perfect Getaway!

This was exactly what we were needing! The cottage is adorable and private, which we loved. The sunrises and sunsets were breathtaking! We spent hours in the afternoons enjoying the river and I think our dogs enjoyed it more than we did! It was flowing nicely, clear and cold. We love the Frio, it’s always been our happy place! We will be back!

Cozy and Clean!

Loved the charm of the house but the best part is the view! Plenty of room for a family of 6, and it was nice that each room has access to a sink/toilet. Highly recommend!

Amazing. Quiet Property.

This property was absolutely amazing. The back porch view was outstanding giving us the appreciation to enjoy the scenario. The stars popped at night, we saw critters, and the property’s river access allowed my kids to fish and even swim some. In fact, i found some deep water holes when Inwas rescuing a fishing lure on the opposite river bank. In addition, the property was located conveniently to the grocery store in Leakey and were able to hang out and enjoy music at the local venues.If you are looking for a quiet get away and reconnect with your loved ones, book this place. Rumor has it, that they are adding a pool as well so you can break things up with the family.

charming cottage in the hill country

Cute house outside of Leakey, close to the west fork of the frio. River is dry for the most part, but they have been going through a terrible drought. Back porch has beautiful views of the hills. Nice walking trail down to river bed. House is old and has alot of charm, but needs some repairs and updates to make the house more comfortable.

Excellent fly in cabin

Beautiful property, great views, very nice and comfortable cabin. Very convenient right on the airport. The airport is great, good asphalt and good tie down cables. Short walk into town. There was some road noise and shooting going on but it wasn’t bad, still a very peaceful setting .

It was a peaceful place to relax and get away from the city. Beautiful land. Too bad the river in the back was dry but we still enjoyed a day at Garner State Park.

A Great Frio Home Away from Home

This farm house was one of our favorite places we have ever stayed at the Frio. Quiet and relaxing yet close to the float. The screen doors and beautiful views with a great layout and very comfortable. We all fell in love with the character and views of this house. Loved the land to wander on.

Great Family River Trip!

We enjoyed our stay with 6 adults, 2 babies, and 2 dogs. The private river access was great. We enjoyed the firepit and hot tub also. Having a fenced yard was great for the dogs. Being right by the airport was neat. We saw a few planes and a gyrocopter! The owners were very friendly and communicative.

Great vacation cabin!

The cabin was just as described. We had 7 in our group and everyone had enough room, the beds were comfortable and the back porch had fantastic views. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our food. The dishwasher need to be screwed in tight, and there were a few boards on the porch that need replacing , but other than that

Good but could tweek a few things

The lighting was pretty bad in the house with white fluorescent bulbs. toilet paper holders were broken and not any counter space in the bathroom. The back porch and view is amazing! No water in the river next to it which was deceiving from the pictures. We loved being so close to Garner and had a great time!

No water, no problem

This cottage is in good condition for being built in the 1800s with lots of charming original features (plus plenty of modern updates as well!) The Frio was low (practically non-existent) but it really wasn't a problem; Garner was a quick trip away and with day passes we were able to spend some time there in the river. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The host is helpful and responds quickly!

Cute little cabin, great getaway

This property was perfect for our family (dad, mom, and 4 kids ages 15 through 4, and goldendoodle). Great location, close proximity to Garner where we went two nights for the dance. We also spent a couple afternoons there since the river was low on the property but nothing anyone can do about that. Great getaway to unplug and reconnect!

It was okay

The beds were comfortable and the back porch was nice. Several things disappointed me. 1. There was a mop bucket full of dirty mop water and mop left in the kitchen. 2. There was only one garbage bag that fit the trash can in the kitchen. When I asked the owner about it, no response. 3. The living room furniture was awful. Not what it was in the pictures. The couch was uncomfortable and seemed dirty. Same with the 2 chairs. There was no “sitting together in the living room.” 4. There are no closets or dressers to unpack. Had to live out of suitcases for 5 nights. 5. There is a window in the shower that is not made of frosted glass. It is too big and too low of a window to have in a shower. The curtain that covers it is sheer. If you shower at night, anyone and see in. That is not safe or appropriate. 6. The first day, the hot tub was not functioning and it smelled bad. Overall, we had a good time. We will try another house if we return to the Frio River.

Quiet, peaceful getaway!

We loved our stay! The view from the back porch was phenomenal and we ended up spending most of our time there relaxing. The house was very clean, our dogs enjoyed the fenced yard, beds were comfortable. The property is just on the outskirts of town, so you feel like you’re away from it all but close enough to town to get your necessities. You’re minutes away from Garner State Park and some gorgeous drives. Definitely would stay again!

Nice getaway

A nice and relaxing weekend. The beds are super comfortable and the view was great. The place needs a little TLC but overall it’s really nice. The dishwasher needs to be secured to the cabinet, toilet paper holders are broken, the hot tub never warmed up - but we had a relaxing weekend and I recommend this location to fellow travelers and family.
