So the house is beautifully furnished, the decor is very nice. My family said it's a nice 70s style house with a touch of modern, and the appliances work very well. There are no laundry appliances. River access in the back yard, is good, over grown with lily pads. But still very nice and great vacation spot.

Accommodations were comfortable for a large group. The kitchen is big, good for us folks who like to cook. The back patio was the chief attribute to our enjoyable stay, for eating outside, enjoying the river, and hanging out.

The river here is absolutely perfect for us. We swam, canoed, had a great time with the rope swing and my granddaughter loved jumping from the tree stump.
The house has plenty of room and the yard and back patio are lovely. The kitchen floor was filthy.
I'm not impressed with the location of the fire pit. It is too close to the AC unit. It was too hot to want a fire anyway. My other disappointment was the amount of road noise.

We thought things were strange when the owners showed up to “turn off the sprinklers” but stayed and talked to my family that beat us to the rental. The husband and wife began to tell them all about the houserules. The river fish are their “grandchildren’s pets” and “catch and release” fishing only, even though they advertise their rents as “perfect for fishing”. The owners spent 30 minutes “waiting for us to arrive” to accept cash on the side of VRBO for an extra night because VRBO “has too many fees”. They finally left my family members to enjoy their stay while we continued to make our way to the property. Upon arrival, we saw that there was dried food on the “clean” silverware, not enough cups for 8 people to have coffee when the description reads that it can seep 18 comfortably. We saw dying tree cockroaches in the cabinets, and roac feces on the plates. Everything from the cabinets had to be washed. We realized quickly that the house is advertised as having whole home WiFi, however it only works well in the Master bedroom, which was inconvenient for us, as we operate a business remotely, and like to be able to sit with our kids while they are playing outside. Second night, the ac was blowing hot air. owner came over and tripped the breaker, which didn’t make sense because the blower was running prior to that. A tech was called out and told my husband the he “topped off” the unit with refrigerant, which was leaking into the house, making us sick.

Comfortable accommodation on East Frio
Comfortable accommodation with easy access to East Frio. The listing and reviews were accurate, but we were still surprised by the highway road-noise volume, how minerals in the water clouded dishware, and the property manager only providing one roll of TP per bathroom for a 3-night stay in a house rated for 19 guests (we were directed to Dollar Store in Leakey to get more).

Great place to stay with the Frio in your backyard
Great place to stay with the Frio in your backyard
As others have said the place is antique. It was like stepping into my grandmother's house. A blast from the past. But I love that about it. My wife and 4 kids and one of my child's friend stayed 4 nights in the house and it was delightful. I particularly enjoyed getting up earlier than the rest of the house and having quiet times and quiet times nad devotionals sitting by the river side. The river is deep so very young children need floaties and it might be difficult or scary for them to get out. Besides that minor point the point of the river that is nearby the house is excellent. No tubers and it is deep enough to swim, and jump in using a rope swing without any worries. my kids loved the rope swing and jumping into the river. Early in the morning we saw deer and a family of raccoons searching for water or food by the river. You have neighbors nearby but it was like each house had its own section of the river that corresponded with their house. I saw people in the distance and heard them but they never came too close. The house was big enough for all of us and we felt comfortable in it instead of worrying about breaking something that is super delicate. I have kids so that was nice. One of the bathrooms needs an update but that did not bring down our stay. There is a breakfast nook in the kitchen which has a window that overlooks the river. That is a nice touch. Also there is a nice patio and BBQ and fire pits. There was enough room for parking and moving around in the driveway. The house is very close to Leakey and many other attractions such as Lost Maples, Garner State Park, Tubing, horse back riding, and many, many more in the Texas hill country. It is a superb place to stay with a family especially if all your children can swim well. You are a close drive for a tubing experience but you have your own party of the Frio in your back yard. We could have stayed for much longer and will probably book the house again next year.

Nice deep hole for swimming had more Lilly pads than we expected but was clear and beautiful. We kayaked up and down and it was soo beautiful and peaceful. Not much sun shines through the trees though. the house was spacious definitely never felt under each other’s feet. The retro vibe was cool to the older people and gross to the teens and 20 somethings lol. I only have 2 suggestions; I would remove the non potable water signs or at least don’t have the scary no ingestion pic on the sign. I know it’s a legit name for well water but it makes it seem dangerous and Non drinkable. I grew up on well water so it didn’t phase me at all but the others in our group were scared to even use it to brush their teeth lol. I have rented many other properties in the past who were on well water and none had a non potable sign. With the reviews stating that the water stunk I was expecting a sulfur smell because some wells are that way but ur water just smelt like iron not gross or unpleasant just Normal hard water smell. Second suggestion would be to add curtains (u can’t see through) or blinds to the back windows of the rooms and bathrooms because when some of us were still outside on the patio or in the yard we could see everyone in the rooms and one or 2 of our group were seen changing. Other than that everything was great thank you for sharing your home.

Beautiful property

The property was beautiful, we especially liked how close the river was to the back yard. Location was the perfect mix of solitude and close enough to stores and activities. We enjoyed the C and R fishing and relaxing in the back yard.. We were however disappointed in the cleanliness of the inside of house. The dishes had dried on food, the coffee pot had old moldy coffee grinds still in the coffee maker, and one of the beds appeared to have bloodstains on the sheets. The sheets smelled clean, but if stained, one would think that those would have been replaced. The rules and fees were posted so we expected the kitchen and dishes to be cleaner than they were. Also main bathroom shower head needs to be replaced, it sprayed everywhere except downwards towards the person trying to shower. Overall, we did in fact enjoy our stay, and would rebook same location again in the future, but would like it to be cleaner inside the property, especially with such a high deposit and cleaning fees.

The property is amazing! This is the perfect place to relax. There are no tubers on this section of the river. There’s a rope swing that the kids enjoyed and the adults and children enjoyed the paddle boat. The house is out-dated but has everything needed for a nice time. Owner was very responsive to answer all questions quickly.

We had a party of 20 including four under two. The only thing missing is shallow water for the toddlers. The adults and teens loved swimming, fishing and just hanging out by the water at this site. We never felt under each other’s feet and had a group as large as ours visit us while there. Definitely bring your own water but that’s the only negative about check in. Loved our stay and my adult kids request the same property next time.

Off season best value in Leakey. House is showing it's age, but that kind of lends to the charm. Backyard overlooks the beautiful river, with towering cypress trees and nature's beauty. Only had a party of four, so WAY more space than we required. Utilized the kitchen and outdoor bbq pit to cook some meals. Only pick here were the dishes being a bit dusty and dirty. Also, water is not potable and extremely hard, so washing dishes and your person somewhat of a challenge. Otherwise, we loved it completely and highly recommend it. Property management very friendly, nice and attentive. As we told them, we definitely will come stay with them again.

This property is retro for sure!!! I am a millennial and have never used a rotary phone until staying here. Lol... I absolutely loved this stay mainly because the river is just a few steps away from the back yard. It's amazing to have your own piece of the river....especially in times like these were you don't want to be with crowds at the state park or at other access points to the river. In my opinion it's the perfect location just a few miles from town. Most of all we enjoyed the little pieces of furniture and decor in the home that brought us many nostalgic feelings. I'm excited to visit this property again soon. I will be bringing the kids so they can see what it feels like to step back in time and enjoy this retro home! This spot is absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for having us Elizabeth!

House not so good (ew!), river was very enjoyable.
House not so good (ew!), river was very enjoyable.
We enjoyed the river access, but the house described as "retro" actually felt very old, stinky, and not well maintained. In the kitchen the dishwasher didn't work, had cheap plastic plates and bowls, pans with Teflon peeling off, mixed-matched cheap utensils, and there were a few newer pots and pans but not enough cookware or utensils for large groups. At night we saw small roaches crawling on our dry food on the counter, and there were large roach wings inside the dark, smelly cabinets. We know it says in the listing that there were no towels, not even dish towels, but that seems like a basic that any VRBO would have. Also, no washer and dryer, also a basic that most VRBO's have, especially when you are near a water source and will have a lot of wet towels and clothes. Another unsanitary thing we found was there was old carpet on top of even older carpet in the living room. When you walk in the front door you can immediately smell the old musty smell of carpet and old curtains. There was new tile in the bathrooms and one bedroom, but the rest of the house literally looked like it had all the same things in it since the 1960's/70's/80's, including carpet, furniture, curtains, and couch pillows. It just felt gross. The beds had clean sheets and blankets but the mattresses were so uncomfortable and felt really old, creaked every time we moved. Compared to other short-term rentals nearby, the exterior looked unkept. The house lacked fun family things like a fire pit, rope swings, and kayaks and other fun family things that we saw at other rentals nearby. These things weren't listed in the description but something to consider. The satelite for the TV didn't work, and some light fixtures were falling off. Also, please be aware there was no wifi or cell service. We had to drive 1.7 miles to get cell service. There's a landline but when I tried to call my husband's cell which is a 713, it wouldn't go through, even if I dialed 1 or 0 first. We appreciate that the owner came out to try to help with a few things and we want to be fair. We want renters to know what to expect. We felt like the discription didn't describe the state the house was in. We just wished the description matched the property so that we knew what we were paying for.
