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. **

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.

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!

Total paradise!
Quiet, private,peaceful and relaxing- we could not have asked for a nicer setup...everything in the house was comfortable and clean, and lots of nice accommodations plus a well-stocked kitchen and amazing hill country views all around. We truly loved every minute there.

We absolutely love this cottage! We have rented it 3 times now and it is perfect. I really wish it had a washer and dryer that is really the only thing that it needs. The property is great! We love coming each summer.

My family and I spent a few nights for New Year's. This is a beautiful place, the entire area is amazing, the view is awesome, couldn't have asked for more! My family and I loved the cottage, all clean, comfortable, safe, the response to our needs was immediate and friendly. We have stayed at other cabins in the area in the past, but this one will now be our favorite place to stay; we are already planning our next vacation time there again.

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay in this historic cottage. It was comfortable for 3 adults and two elementary age children. The view is great- sitting on the porch in the swing is perfect for morning coffee. Plenty of seating on porch and patio/fireplace area. Kitchen is adequate and charcoal grill makes meals easy.. Stargazing is spectacular!

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.

Private river getaway
We knew ahead of time that the river would be low and were a little worried, but we walked approximately 200 yards upstream and found a small, clean, fresh water swimming area. The property was clean, quiet and well stocked as advertised. It was also fun to see some plane activity during our stay at the nearby airport. The hot tub was a fun bonus we didn’t think we’d use, but enjoyed lots of time in it! We were less than 5 minutes away from town, making it easy to grab a meal or supplies. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent Getaway
My family of four plus our two dogs recently stayed here for a long weekend and had blast. The property was beautiful with great views, sunrises and sunsets`. We spent mornings and evenings on the patio, taking day trips to the various state parks in the area. The hot tub under the stars was a definite plus. This was the first time we brought our dogs on a trip and the house was set up very well for them, surrounded by a fence to keep them contained so we didn’t have to worry. The dogs relaxed as well…lying on the porch, overlooking the meadow and taking in the views. The house was clean and owner was very responsive to a few questions we had. We would definitely recommend and are looking forward to getting back!

Family Time
We had a fantastic time at this quaint, cozy cottage! The hosts were very friendly and quick to answer any questions we had. The back porch had great views and was big enough for multiple tables, a fire pit and a game of cornhole. The small airstrip was right next door which provided fun for the kids watching the landings and take-offs. (Don't worry, there was NO troublesome noise to deal with!) We were just a small drive from Garner State Park which we were able to enjoy even though our trip was in October. The water was cold, as always, but the weather was warm outside. Make sure to reserve your day pass with the park in advance. We would most definitely stay here again!

PERFECT SETTING
We spent a long week-end with our son, daughter-in-law and two dogs. The house was very clean; beds and pillows were extra comfy and the proximity to the Frio River was like heaven on earth for our dogs. The kitchen has an over-sized window overlooking the backyard and mountains which is such a serene vista. The owner was very gracious and check-in couldn't be easier. The porch behind the property extends the entire length of the house, and a lovely flagstone patio with a fire pit and lots of outdoor furniture made the outdoors a true pleasure. The Frio River isn't visible from the house, but is just a minute's walk behind the house and easily accessible. Our dogs were like two spoiled children ... loving every minute. The pictures and reviews are spot on! We would definitely stay here again. Wendy S

Great peaceful getaway for all ages
This was the cutest most charming cottage. Beautiful all around with convenient updates but still keeping the charm of the country cottage. We loved the privacy of the river, absolutely no one floated by. The river was however COLD! not so much that the kids ( 9 & 6) didn't get in, but it did take the adults some coaxing and getting pretty hot to bear the cold temp. The beautiful clean waters more than me up for it. I cooked almost every meal in the kitchen, which is fully stocked. There were nice clean linens and towels. We used the charcoal pit and hot tub as well. You really couldn't ask for anything more. One thing I would have liked was a washing machine. Other than that, we surely hope to return!

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.

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 .
