Our house has been in business since the spring of 2010 with five star ratings! We are a very secluded house tucked away in the hill country on the West fork of the Frio River. During the recent 2022 summer drought, our river never went dry at property or surrounding area. Thankful for the fresh springs feeding our river, which keeps the river clean & flowing down to our property! We are North of Leakey in a private area with no neighbors, on approximately 5.5 acres The Frio River gets its name for its cool and consistent flow and is a popular summertime destination for those wishing to enjoy the beauty of the Frio Canyon and Texas Hill Country or a peaceful, fall getaway with a campfire! You will feel like one with nature, yet you are only a short drive away from the growing town of Leakey, Garner State Park, Concan and Lost Maples. It's a great spot for a retreat or just a weekend , Come relax with your family and friends! Our house is about 200 yards from the river but you can drive down to our PRIVATE RIVER ENTRANCE and park there, to unload your things.

Fabulous Hideaway in the woods

We had a wonderful time on the property. Very spacious with lots of outdoor spaces for people to get together and just hang out. we visited Garner State Park a couple of times and climbed Old Baldy. Of course we couldn't pass up the daily swimming hole nearby that was so very relaxing and quiet away from all the crowds. We plan to come back and stay again.

Awesome Birthday celebration

I was struggling to find a place in a short time. My middle son was killed in a tragic accident in August his birthday is in June. He loved the Frio River. Our typical stay was in ConCan but I was unable to find anything and came across this rental. Mark was wonderful and accommodating. If there was an issue or question he was quick to respond. He even told my brother where some good hiking spots were. The property was clean and all the processes were simple. Thank you for allowing us to celebrate my son in heavens birthday. Also, he brought the rain he knows how much his mom loves the rain so she can enjoy the Frio.

We Love the Leakey River Rental!

We had a wonderful time staying at the Leakey River Rental! Even before we arrived we felt welcomed by Mark, who made sure we had all the information we could possibly need to make our trip a success. The cabin is lovely and spacious inside and there are several porches outside where you can relax with a coffee, a book or just sit and enjoy the quiet. The weather was cool, so we enjoyed the fireplace in the living room as well as the fire pit outside. The kitchen is well stocked and there is even a second refrigerator outside which is so helpful when cooking for a group! It is a short walk to the Frio from the house and along the way we saw deer, rabbits and many different birds. Mark is an incredible host and it was very easy to contact him with any questions. He suggested we make reservations to visit Garner State Park and Lost Maples and we were so happy he did! We enjoyed two days of amazing hiking, views and wildlife. We will definitely return to the Leakey River Rental in the future. It already feels like a home away from home!

Private, Quiet & Relaxing!

We had a very nice time at this rental in Leakey! We were only here for a short stay (2 nights), but it was just what we all needed to recharge our batteries. First, I must say that communication with the property manager, Mark, was great. He was very accommodating and willing to go the extra mile to make sure we had everything needed for our weekend retreat. The fire pit area was great and we spent a good majority of our time out there sitting by the fire and using the charcoal BBQ grill. The rental is not very far away from the town of Leakey, but just far enough where ultimate privacy is attained. I would not hesitate to stay in this rental again if my family and I find our way up to Concan/Leakey for another trip. Thanks for a wonderful stay!

Summer Time Getaway

We absolutely enjoyed our stay here at this beautiful home. The house was incredibly accommodating for everyone in our group. Plenty of space and very cozy. Bedrooms with their own bathrooms & lots of porch space if anyone wanted to break away at their own time. Every amenity of this home was outstanding. There’s even an extra fridge outside on the side porch that helps with any extra drinks or ice to be stored. Mark was so helpful in guiding us to the main river spots to play in. The walk to the main river spot on this property (which is shallower right now) wasn’t far at all. Maybe a 5 min walk at most. Not bad. The kids did it on their own time occasionally. We found most of our time was spent at the deeper area so the kids could swim. There was even a nice rock ledge in that area for them to jump off of. Made for a fun day on the river. Plenty of shade found too in that spot that canopies weren’t needed. (Just chairs) The drive to this spot was only a minute or two up the road. Not far and easy to access. We spent most of our time outside at the house while we grilled dinners and just hung out enjoying the peace and quiet under the trees. And quiet it is…if you’re looking for a secluded river vacation home, this is it! Might even catch a falling star or two & a couple deer roaming as well, which was fun to see. A great home on a quiet & peaceful property. Will definitely be back again to stay.

Great peaceful getaway

We really enjoyed our time at the Frio. The house was large enough for our group of twelve including kids and adults. It was peaceful and the private river access meant we weren’t competing for space or access to the river. We were close enough to drive to Leakey and Garner but far enough away to not fight with neighbors or noise. Jeff was communicative and offered helpful tips. Would def book again!

Relaxing Weekend Getaway

We enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cabin. We had 4 adults and 6 kids staying at the cabin, and we had PLENTY of room to spread out. There are plenty of sitting areas both inside and outside, and the upstairs bedroom with 5 beds was perfect for all of the kids. Mark is a great communicator and host and even took us around on his gator to show us the private entrances we could use to access the Frio River. The road behind the property leads to a great lookout and challenging hike. The only downside was the distance to the river. Technically you could walk to the river, but not if you were carrying a lot of items. However, there were several different areas to drive to and park, so the options were nice for changing things up. Thank you Mark!!

Hidden Gem - Leakey TX

Spent “Good Friday” weekend in this place. Could not ask for better experience. Mark is very committed to providing the absolute best experience. Cabin is very remote and surrounded by beautiful hills. The river is a walk, unfortunately too cold for the babies, however, there is water constantly flowing. Much needed disconnection from city life (live in Houston). Gardner State Park is near and Lost Maple is a drive away in what is some of the most scenic routes of Texas Hill Country. The cabin and property is as picture show, very clean and private place, it won’t disappoint. Wish I would have done the week, but overall one for the family memory on a weekend getaway. On Saturday the sun pierced through the clouds and exposed Gods country before our eyes, the weather became warm and we watch a beautiful sunset, and then later that night with clear skies we got to see stars in the sky.

Perfect

Mark was a perfect host, excellent touch sending the text the day before we left to travel there, as he mentioned cell service is spotty around the house and he was right, I followed the directions on his text and found the property without google. He also gave us the location of a few swimming holes close by and it’s where we ended up spending all of our time. We were on the west frio and both swimming holes had water that was neck deep. In multiple spots you can feel the cool water coming from the ground. My kids explored both these areas and we could not have had more fun. Those swimming holes are possibly the best place to spend a week of 100 degree temps. The house has very capable wifi, while inside the home, however my wife and I were very thankful for the week of no cell service. The whole trip, property, mark, all of it was just what this family needed and we couldn’t have had a better time. We will be back

Incredible House and Lovely People

Our family and friends rented the house for our annual Frio trip. The river was really, really low but the property manager, Mark, went above and beyond to find our group some water! The house was perfect for our group and we loved that each room had its own bathroom. We really enjoyed sitting outside under the trees at night. Great getaway!

Leakey River Rental

Property was wonderful! Great place to unplug. The river was nice, but you do need to drive to it. Enjoyed sitting around the firepit and enjoying the outdoors! Close to Garner, and we chose to hop over there for a day of hiking. My only complaint would be that the AC doesn't work well. Manager of property discussed this with us upon arrival. They are trying to get it fixed, just can't find workers to get it done. Luckily, it was nice out and temperatures didn't cause much of an issue for our March visit. Our second night there the upstairs temp reading was 80 degrees. We had 2 fans on to help. I can't imagine being here in the summer though with the AC not functioning fully. Other than this, we enjoyed a great country get-a-way with a beautiful hill country view!

A Great Place to Stay for my Family

We enjoyed being out in the hill country and a bit "disconnected" from life for a bit. My family had time to reconnect and enjoy some uninterrupted time together. This rental was big enough to accommodate all of us comfortably and our host, Mark, was very accommodating to our needs. We will plan on returning in the near future.

Quiet location

Nice quiet setting within walking distance to river. (Not as close as I expected though… too far to carry an ice chest, etc) House has large bedrooms and bathrooms. Kitchen was well equipped for our needs. Just a heads up … there’s no cell service in the area. House does provide WiFi. We were ok with that as we all needed some down time. Enjoyed getting away!!
