Just bring your clothes and food...everything else is provided.
This is the best-appointed property I have ever visited. I always overpack to the point of extra toilet paper, dishwashing soap, garbage bags, etcetera. But the hosts here so graciously provide just about everything you need. Nice little place with that lovely sound of the river so relaxing from the front porch. It was easy to find, reasonably priced, and a great spot to catch the Orionids blazing across the dark Hill Country skies.

Great place!
Updated listing with a smart tv. Two bedrooms with all the blankets and pillows one would want. Futon was great for the kids. Plenty of chairs for lounging around. Plenty of wood on the property. Lots of movies for the family to choose from.

About the host

Hosted by John Moore

Host profile image
We are lovers of travel, but we always come back to the Texas Hill County which is our favorite place in the world - home. John grew up as a fourth generation Texan in San Antonio and for many years made a living as a sports photographer in Central Texas. Irene grew up in a Large Hungarian family and was born and raised in Caracas, Venezuela. We love doing anything outdoors. We have a big family and lots of friends! We both compete in ultra distance canoe racing, marathons and the occasional triathlon. We love golf, movies, sailing in the Caribbean and spending time at the cabins.

Why they chose this property

We fell in love with the beauty of the Hill Country, the rugged beauty of the land combined with the crystal clear water of the Frio and the wide open skies at night. When I was young my mom started bringing us out to Leakey for the holidays, we used to come out and spend summer nights dancing in Garner State Park. Eventually we wanted to get a place of our own out here, but we wanted to get away from the huge summer crowds further down river. Mom is a river guide and Master Naturalist and for years brought her kayaking groups to the Frio for fun paddles here and around this area.

What makes this property unique

The very best thing about our cabins is that they are DIRECTLY on the beautiful Frio River. Sitting on the front porch, you are literally looking down at the River about 20 feet away. At night you can hear the water trickling over the rocks and if you listen closely, .....deer hooves on the river bed as they come out for a drink. Located in a sparsely populated area of Real County, this charming little Frio River Canyon is a perfect Texas Hill Country Getaway for couples and families.

Just far enough from town (10 mins) that you can really enjoy the peaceful sunsets and sunrises and close enough that you are only minutes away if you forgot the bread, or need some fresh veggies for the salad.
