Dark Skies & Private Frio River Access. Dogs Welcome! Book Now for Fall Foliage!

Nestled atop a hill a short walk to the peaceful banks of the Frio River, in Leakey, Texas, - with private river access - this spacious cabin sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children comfortably and includes all the amenities you'll need for a relaxing getaway.

-Sleeps 6 adults + 2 kiddos
-Newly remodeled kitchen
- AMAZING deck
-Private river frontage for the property a short walk away
-Fire pit and firewood included
-Charcoal grill with charcoal and lighter fluid provided
-Peace and quiet
-DARK SKIES - lots of stars

Come and unwind in the quiet canyon under the Milky Way like you've never seen, and roast marshmallows on the fire pit. Grill some burgers and dine outside on the large deck. If you're looking for more action, head down to Garner State Park for the nightly dance under the stars during the summer, or Lost Maples for excellent hiking.

The river is perfect for kids, not too deep, but several swimming ‘holes’. Park your chairs in the river and relax with a cold drink while the the kids run wild and free! Quiet - no through tubers - a private stretch of river enjoyed only by surrounding landowners. Please not the river here is not suitable for tubing or kayaking, but there are plenty local spots for tubing and kayaking.

Great for birders in the spring, those seeking summer fun in the river, leaf watchers in the fall, and snow birds in the winter.

A beautiful destination anytime of year!

**If you bring a dog, please note there is a non-refundable Pet Fee you must pay.

Great location, amazing views, and perfect river access for little ones. The house had everything we needed for us to enjoy our stay. The private river access was clean and clear, our kids had a blast and it was perfect for us adults to sit and relax. Looking forward to returning next year!

Cabin

The location is absolutely beautiful stunning and relaxing. The house was fully stocked for preparing meals. The drive is peaceful and beautiful to town. Only con is since it’s a pet friendly place there was tons of dog hair on surfaces, pillows, beds, towels, I swept several times and was still pulling dog hair off me and out of my mouth. The host was very responsive and communicated very well

My family of 5 stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The house was perfect for us. We had access to the river which we used multiple times a day. The surroundings were quiet and allowed for us to unplug and do things together. Great area to walk or hike.

Beautiful hill country home

We had a great time at this property. The view is amazing and the location is very peaceful. Very close to the Frio river access and we had the river all to ourselves. The property was also very well equipped in the kitchen and the charcoal grill and fire pit were great. WiFi was great too.

Great Getaway

Our family went for New Years and it was perfect. We enjoyed being away from the city and loved the quiet. We enjoyed walking to the river, skipping rocks, sitting on the porch and building a fire. I don't think I appreciated the remoteness of the house, it was a pleasant surprise.

Off the beaten path

Property, as described and the view is amazing! I wish I'd packed hiking shoes to explore the property more! Love the proximity to GSP but not the crowds you'll find in Concan. The moon was nearly full but I can imagine the sky is dreamy on a dark sky night! House is clean and roomy. Kitchen is well equipped. I would suggest a smart tv for guests to be able to cast to. Other than that, no concerns. We'll be back!

Beautiful views, clean cabin and wonderfully dog friendly with short drives to float.

This property was fabulous, clean, spacious and very accommodating. There were beautiful views. The owner had excellent communication skills. She responded almost immediately, if you had a question. We absolutely loved that we could bring our two dogs with us. There was a perfect little lagoon to take them to. We set up our shade tent and just let them lay in the water next to us, when they didn’t want to play frisbee or ball. We also thought it was fabulous there were dog toys present. Our younger dog found a toy to play with. We also thought it only appropriate to add another toy to the collection.

Great Weekend Getaway

The cabin is very nice and well appointed. We really enjoyed the deck and the million dollar view! It was very relaxing to sit on the deck and enjoy the natural beauty and listen to the birds. We cooked out on the grill every night and also used the firepit. The cabin can accommodate up to eight people and was perfect for my wife and I and our two dogs. I look forward to coming back in the fall.

Amazing Views

We absolutely loved our stay. Christy was very responsive and helpful! We drove down to the river multiple times and stayed there all day. It was a perfect spot for the kids to play. There were a couple of holes about waist deep, but the rest of the water was perfect depth for sitting in lawn chairs and relaxing. The patio at the house was my favorite place to be at night. The stars were amazing! Definitely recommend!

Everything Great!

House was very clean and extremely well supplied. We had a 96 year old with us and she loved it all. The view was very nice from the large deck. We roasted marsh mellows each night and enjoyed the various wildlife. This was much further up river than we normally stay. Being in the thick of the hills was very pleasing. The river is mostly shallow this far up which would be great for small children. Look forward to returning!

Frio Trip

Beautiful view off the patio, the river access was a little farther away then initial impression on the description. Host communicated well throughout visit. Very dog friendly but small area for dogs to safely wander in the yard, the patio gets very hot (burns) in the sun. Fully furnished and kitchen well stocked with pots and pans, ect. A/C struggled a bit in the heat of the day but was immediately addressed by host.

Peaceful paradise

Cozy cabin with panoramic views. Very private and quiet location. Spent many hours on the porch relaxing in comfortable chairs with ottomons. We are a couple from Houston trying to detox from the big city. We watched the sunrise and sunset every day. If you are a birdwatcher, this place is for you. Humimngbirds came everyday and at 7:22 p.m. like clock work, these crazy birds came and flew in circles in front of us and went to bed in their mud nests. What a show! This cabin is extremely clean! Kudos to the maid service. You couldn't tell that dogs are allowed in the cabin at all.

Relax and enjoy

Property was exactly as advertised. We spent a lot of time just sitting out on the great deck watching the morning begin, the deer graze below and gazing at the stars at night. The property is comfortable. There are ceiling fans in every room, plenty of seating and the kitchen is well stocked. The days were unseasonably warm but the was no issue with the A/C keeping the rooms cool and comfortable. The location is good for hiking in Garner SP, Lost Maples and is not bad for South Llano River or Hill Country Natural Area. We also followed instructions to the river access from the cabin to soak our feet and enjoy the beauty! Our group was all adults including my parents who are in their late 80’s. The is one small step onto the deck and they had no trouble with access and mobility.
