Quiet and peaceful. Amazing night sky with the sound of the river and croaking frogs. Leaky has some great little restaurants. Bent Rim Grill and Gypsy Sally's were great. State parks nearby with good hiking, especially Lost Maples

Soaking in nature

We loved how isolated we were. My kids loved the river that was close to us, not much water in it but enough to enjoy the afternoon. The beds were so comfy! The cabin was equipped w everything we needed, just make sure to grocery shop before arriving because the trip to the nearest store was a ways away. The stars were incredible. I really enjoyed it!

Great weekend trip

We will definitely return to this property in the future. With a 6 & 7 year old the house size and layout was perfect for them to play outside, and although the water level was low we enjoyed hunting for tadpoles and crawfish in the low pools. Host gave great directions on where to find deeper water and what was available in the area. Host was responsive to inquiries and readily messaged me back when I had questions. The house is older but not shabby, it's very comfortable for a weekend vacation and had everything we needed! We have already started planning our next trip with friends, maybe during the summer!

Leaky Frio River trip

Property was stocked very well, clean, and comfortable. The house setting at the base of the limestone cliff overlooking the Frio and Hill Country was fantastic! Very relaxing. We were pleasantly surprised at the conveniences located in Leaky. We were able to find all supplies and groceries that we needed and several restaurants. Looking forward to our next trip to the Hill Country.

Back to school river trip

The cabin/house is perfect for a small group or family. A short drive from Garner and other fun locations. But, the river in front of the cabin is great to just hang and let kids explore! The home is fully stocked with just about everything you could need in the kitchen as well!

Enjoyed the privacy on the river and at the cabin, but close enough to Garner SP to enjoy a day there as well. Very clean and well maintained. Would recommend to anyone looking for a quiet getaway.

About the host

Hosted by John Moore

Host profile image
We love to 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. We love doing anything outdoors. We have a big family and lots of friends! My wife and I 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 mom 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. Mom found this place up in the canyons near the headwaters and she bought it for the family and friends to enjoy.

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.
