We go every summer and this has been our favorite house to stay in so far! The house has a lot of space and the outdoor area is great. It’s a short walk or drive down to the water. And the host, Donny, was helpful and always available.
House fit our needs perfectly. Location was amazing and access to river I’d on the property. Owner walked us thru the house and outside property to show us around. Very friendly and accommodating
My family and I absolutely loved our stay at The Lodge. Special thanks to Donnie, the owner, for providing us with a home away from home, for his friendliness and making us feel welcome. I couldn't ask for more. Thank you.
What an amazing place to celebrate my mother's 50th birthday! We had plenty of space & really enjoyed the outdoor area where we spent most of our time. Donny was an awesome host! Communicated clearly leading up to our stay & made sure we had everything we needed once we arrived (including ice). Donny takes care of his property & his guest, and we will definitely seek him out in the future.
Great property with many options on where to stay. Ella’s was perfect for our family. Plenty of room and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen and living room were spacious. The outside area had plenty of room for cooking and hanging out. The path to the river was a short walk with a picnic table and our own access to the river. The owner, Don, was very hospitable and quick to respond when we had a question. We are looking forward to making this our yearly family vacation spot!
Me and my family had a really great stay at this property! We loved the layout of the outdoor area and the close walk to the river! Donny is a great host and is very hospitable!!!
Great location and plenty of room inside and outside for all of us. The owner was very, very pleasant and helpful! We would definitely recommend this property.
We really enjoyed our stay here! The bedroom layouts were perfect for 3 families. The outdoor area was our favorite spot. Kitchen was supplied with everything we needed for large meals. Only small issue was we didn’t have enough coffee cups for our large group. The river spot is a short walk. Maybe 300 yards. The host is super friendly and we enjoyed meeting him. We will definitely stay here again!

Great place to stay
Great place to stay. Donny was an excellent host, and this is a great location. You can walk right down to the water. Everything is as advertised. We're planning to be back again next year!

Loved everything about this property. We have 5 families in our family including a 2 months old, 9 month old, 2 3 year olds and a 5 year old plus 10 adults, the house was perfect for us!
Would highly recommend Donny Haggerton’s properties! Our hosts, Donny and Sid, are attentive, friendly and very accommodating to all your needs. This property is a very short walk to the river and the riverfront accommodations are excellent!! Would highly recommend these properties!
Although there was no floating the river this year, this spot on the river still had plenty of water to sit out and enjoy. We loved that it had river access, a swim spa and when able to float, they shuttle you and you float back to the property. My family has been going to the Frio for over 40 years. We’ve never stayed anywhere that offered so much!
This place is amazing!!! All the woodwork that Donny has done is beautiful. Feels very homie. We will definitely be back. Thank you for everything Donny !!!
Donny has this figured out. Been to the Frio many times in the past, but none as good as this trip. Never a worry once we got checked in. Place is secure and we never had to worry about putting any of our stuff away at night. House is great. Location is perfect. It was a really enjoyable trip and one we will do again.
