Wonderful host
Donny was one of if not the best host/person I have met. He is truly a great person who cares about his property and guests. Rooms were well kept, hotel style kitchenette minus microwave (inside). Great location and one of few that allow you to park by the river. I didn’t mind the outdoor cooking pavilion with a minor issue pertaining to clean pots, pans, utensils available. You can tell they once were all stocked but with all the guests misused misplaced. Pool was colder than Frio but we enjoyed it. Few minor issues that don’t take away from this great place were mini fridge not plugged in and took awhile to cool, missing 1 tv remote, bathroom sink, I’m guessing had a “breather “, leaked. None of these were brought to Donny attention due to unforeseen circumstances, which he was very helpful with and understanding. If nothing else I’d rebook just for his great hospitality and true care for his property and guests.

Great place and Great host!
We really enjoyed our stay at this property. Donny was an amazing host and Jimmy was a tremendous help on site. The location was perfect, Jimmy took us up river to drop in so we could float back to our rental. Easy peasy! Also the picnic tables they had out front in the river made perfect opportunity for people watching and enjoying the river even more. The community kitchen was a nice place to meet other people staying on the property loaded with all the things you need in order to grill. The pool was nice and refreshing as well. Looking forward to staying again!

Great weekend getaway.
Property was amazing and clean. We went during the slow time of the season so the property was pretty much empty which was amazing for us. The Frio is literally a few hundred feet from the rooms, where you can back up your vehicle and sit and float in the river. Donny was always available when I called before and during our stay. Erik was always on-site and was very friendly as well. We will definitely come back and stay again. I highly recommend this place if your looking for a little get away on the Frio.

Labor Day Getaway
We enjoyed our stay at Donny's place. The room was very clean, beds were comfortable and a/c worked perfect! Donny was a great host and we will definitely be coming back! The location to the river is perfect. Just a short drive or walk and you're there. The outdoor kitchen, patio is perfect for hanging out and cooking. However, there are places to eat close by if you don't feel like cooking. We ate at Neal's Dining Room almost every meal. Good eating there! There's also the House Pasture restaurant that we did not get to check out, but I've heard good things about it.

Excellent family getaway
Our family needed some down time to relax and have some fun together. This was the perfect place! The river was just a small walk away, room was great and fit our large family of 8. The outdoor kitchen and gathering area was wonderful! We loved swimming and kayaking. Everyone was so helpful (shuttling when needed) and going out of there way to accommodate us. Thank you! We have already decided to make this a family Tradition!

This was such a fun place to stay - so close to the river, a great outdoor area for play, cooking, and eating. Everything is available for you onsite to allow you to enjoy the river and relax. Donny is a great host and makes sure your staff is all you want (and more). Thanks for a great week!
