We had an amazing stay this weekend! We had plenty or room(13)! Everyone slept very comfortable!! Owner was awesome! She and her husband meet us there and very very nice ppl! The kids had so Much fun in the water off the rope Swing! We fished and caught a Huge Bass!! We definitely will be returning!! Next year a few times!!
This is the 3rd time we've stayed here. We love this place.
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.
Ok
We had a great time staying at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone. Owner replied quickly to all questions. House is exactly how it is advertised. If you are looking for something fancy then this is not the house for you. It was clean and spacious and met all our needs. Thank you Beth.
We stayed here a week and loved it! beautiful location.
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).
We had a great time relaxing, fishing off the bank and playing games in the evening. Plenty of room for everyone. Would stay here again.
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.
