Looking to enjoy the eclipse this October or the one in April here is your spot.
Dreaming of a perfect family vacation this summer Downum on the Frio is the place for your family or even a group of friends. Relax on the deck above the pool, swing into the clear Frio River from the rope swing at the swimming hole or just sit in a river chair with your favorite beverage in your hand. We have something for the entire group.
Anyone in the group love to ride, well we are located right off337, one of the Twisted Sisters, famous for the best ride in Texas.
Home is 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath located on the Frio River. Just steps away from the fresh clear waters of the Frio River and 1 mile from the town of Leakey, where you can shop for supplies or enjoy the charming hometown shops. Property also has a pool for those who want to relax and lounge with a large deck for outside enjoyment.
Will sleep 14 comfortably in 5 queen beds, 4 upstairs, also upstairs one twin, as well as a sofa sleeper and twin in the living area with linens and towels supplied. There are 4 TV's, free wifi, fully equipped kitchen, laundry area and gas grill, wood burning grill and gas flat top for cooking out of doors.

Leakey has some new restaurants and night spots not to be missed as well as a few new food trucks.
Another special thing about Downum on the Frio is the river dog Roadie. She will entertain you and adds to that home feeling. Roadie has all 5 star reviews.
We have added a small bedroom space downstairs with a twin bed, perfect little private space. If you need more space there is a cabin on the property that sleeps six, two bedrooms, two baths with a queen size sofa sleeper in the living area. To check it out look up the Bunhouse on the Frio VRBO # 2334096. The combination of both places gives large families room to spread out but be together. Both places still have some August openings and the river is flowing and the pool is cold. Book now for a great vacation.

    House was very comfortable. Access to the river was awesome. Kids enjoyed the pool and the river rapids and catching (and releasing) fish.We walked the river bank (gotta have good shoes) and floated down passed the house and repeated that throughout our stay.

    Downum on the river was amazing! The house had everything we need and more. The kids loved the pool in the evening. The host family was great.

    I think I must have said “I love this house” 20 times after arriving. The previous reviews sold me on booking and Downum on the Frio did not disappoint. We had a fabulous time. Kids jumped into the pool night one and took turns on the rope swing. We played games on the spacious porch and cooked breakfast on Blackstone the next day! Just a ton of fun. The house sits just above the river. Such a beautiful spot with a great swimming hole and rope swing. Tons of fun and just a great time relaxing. Hated to leave! We will be back.

    We loved this location. The house was comfortable and had all the amenities. We had easy access to the best river in Texas with the perfect swimming hole. The hosts were wonderful. Top notch.

    The house is large, and you could easily fit multiple families. The wrap around deck offers great options to hang out and enjoy the breeze. The linens and towels being provided is wonderful, and it was a plus that they smelled so good. The house has other amenities that we didn't fully take advantage of but are a plus as well. Having a pool is a fantastic option, especially because even though the weather wasn't great, because of the public access to the water hole, it still got busy since the spot is well known by locals. The AC in the home works great. You'll have mostly everything you need. The home has been well loved and has seen better days. The steps down to the river could use some upkeep, and there's evidence that handrails were removed. A deep cleaning would really enhance this rental, and the price warrants it. The kitchen, in particular, could use a deep cleaning. We swept the floors and picked up a lot of dirt that we didn't bring in. The counters were also dirty, and there were sugar ants. We cleaned what we could to keep us comfortable. The dishwasher had dishes already in it when we arrived. We didn't mess with it. The large couch in the living room smelled like urine, but we didn't use it and were hardly inside. To be fair, we didn't alert the property manager about these things because we figured none were an easy nor quick fix and we didn't want to interrupt our stay nor bother anyone during the Labor Day Holiday Weekend. The beds are just okay but being

    We stayed here for a long weekend trip with one other family and had an amazing time. The house was great, we loved hanging out on the deck and the kids loved swimming in the pool and river! The hosts were very thoughtful and very easy to communicate with and we couldn't have asked for a better, more comfortable stay. 5/5 would definitely stay here again.
