About this house rental

Nestled atop a hill a short walk to the peaceful banks of the Frio River, in Leakey, Texas, - with private river access - this spacious cabin sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children comfortably and includes all the amenities you'll need for a relaxing getaway.

-Sleeps 6 adults + 2 kiddos
-Newly remodeled kitchen
- AMAZING deck
-Private river frontage for the property a short walk away
-Fire pit and firewood included
-Charcoal grill with charcoal and lighter fluid provided
-Peace and quiet
-DARK SKIES - lots of stars

Come and unwind in the quiet canyon under the Milky Way like you've never seen, and roast marshmallows on the fire pit. Grill some burgers and dine outside on the large deck. If you're looking for more action, head down to Garner State Park for the nightly dance under the stars during the summer, or Lost Maples for excellent hiking.

The river is perfect for kids, not too deep, but several swimming ‘holes’. Park your chairs in the river and relax with a cold drink while the the kids run wild and free! Quiet - no through tubers - a private stretch of river enjoyed only by surrounding landowners. Please not the river here is not suitable for tubing or kayaking, but there are plenty local spots for tubing and kayaking.

Great for birders in the spring, those seeking summer fun in the river, leaf watchers in the fall, and snow birds in the winter.

A beautiful destination anytime of year!

**If you bring a dog, please note there is a non-refundable Pet Fee you must pay.

    Check-in was super easy and directions to the cabin were very helpful. Christy, our host, was extremely responsive to our questions and requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to be back as soon as possible! The stargazing and wildlife were spectacular. The crazy rains prevented us from enjoying river time, but it’s very nice private access.

    This vacation home has everything you could possibly need. We loved our stay, the stars on that deck at night are AWESOME!! The private river access was nice for the kids to play. Just a short drive to Garner State Park to float the river. We would definitely stay again!

    Nice quiet getaway in Leakey. Nicely located to the Frío river and other activities. The view is great. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen is stocked. There is a swim hole near by. Our family had a nice time. We tubed down the frío, went to Joe Jimmy's dancing and went into town for some items and coffee at Josh's.

    This host will GHOST.We arrived Dec 24 and were greeted w a bad odor. Texted Christy and she said she didn’t know what could cause that and said to open the doors and windows—we opened the windows, but they don’t have any screens on any windows so in about 30 minutes we had huge horseflies, knats and moths inside. Don’t open the windows.Took a shower that night in primary bedroom—water pressure was nonexistent. Had to move to other shower that was being used by my girlfriend. Her shower was extremely hard to adjust the hot/cold water and almost scalded both of us. The hot water handle is stripped and the handle just spins around. I’m surprised w all the good reviews, no one has complained about this and that no children have gotten hurt by the extremely hot water that will come out if you move the cold water handle just a millimeter. I texted Christy again and told her that if she couldn’t get the pressure fixed we might consider going to a friends and would like a full refund—she said that would be ok if we left and would give refund. We then discussed the hassle of packing everything up and decided to stay. I then asked Christy if she could refund 1 night out of the 4 nights we were staying there---never heard back after 2 texts.Also, this listing claims to be “on” the Frio. On the Frio means to me, that you can see or hear the water. Not the case, it’s a long walk down a hill and cross the road and then to the public entry they have. I wouldn’t want to lug a lot of
