great house for our large family

House was plenty large for our group - 8 adults and 5 children and was equipped with everything we needed. Just a few steps from the river. The rear porch was perfect to sit around and admire the river

End of Summer Trip

Porter's Tree Haus is a Fantastic Place to Stay. The house has everything you need to cook your Family's Meals in and there is also a 2 drawer Dishwasher ( I don't like to wash dishes). The house is big enough to have a small Family Reunion at, lots of outdoor and indoor seating and Lots of beds to accommodate everyone. Just a very short walk to the river but you can drive and park at the river for the day. Donny is an extremely nice and helpful Host, We will stay at one of his places again!

Excellent Vacation Home

My family of 10 adults and 9 kids spent four nights/five days at Porter's Tree Haus and it was perfect, the home is beautiful, clean and a short walk to the river. The outdoor area/kitchen is amazing, and it is where we spent most of our time, so much room and the small pool was great for the kids after spending all day in the river. Bedrooms were comfortable and the AC in the house worked great. Kitchen cookware and utensils were abundant. Being able to drive a truck to the river for tailgating was also a plus, we put up our canopy and never worried about anyone bothering out things. We cooked every meal at the house because no need to go out when you have the indoor and outdoor kitchen as you do in this home. We booked our stay for next year already because it just doesn't get any better than.

What a cool spot!

A large group of us stayed here for the eclipse. Donny was totally accessible and helpful and added a lot to our visit. We were all thankful for his assistance. The property is amazing, the river was lovely. The house itself is interesting and quirky, lots of personality. The one practical tip I’d offer for future guests is to bring absolutely everything you might need food-wise in with you. They don’t supply anything (eg salt and pepper, condiments, etc) and in fairness don’t pretend to. And anyway there are grocery stores and lots of restaurants close by. Overall a great experience, highly recommended!

Great place for large groups

We had a blast. Place had plenty of privacy despite being close to other units. Golf course was decent. The only thing I would change is the time of year we went. It was incredibly hot and the river was low in late August.

Perfect Spot

Communication prior to arriving was great. Check in process was easy. Their was a small hiccup with the propane the first night but it was fixed as soon as it was possible and did not affect our trip at all. The location was great and loved being able to drive our truck down to the water. The water was super low and we were unable to float but enjoyed the house and hanging out down at the water. Donny was super helpful when needed and the house was gorgeous with everything we needed. Would definitely stay again.

Frio Fun

This was a great house for our group of 13. The only small issue is that even though there's tons of beds in this house, privacy can be a concern and coordinating groups in rooms. If you are flexible with that, it's fantastic. Plenty of room in the living and kitchen area is great, and there is no shortage of tables and places for large groups to sit and enjoy inside or outside. The river was low, but we can't control that part. Donny was very helpful in taking us to a place on the river with more water and a little bit of "floating" with what we had to work with. All in all, Donny was a great help and was very responsive. We recommend this place highly.

This property is so beautiful. The outside areas were so nice for relaxing and conversations. The private section of river is perfect for playing in. Donny is super responsive. The upstairs seems to stay a little warmer than the downstairs area, there’s even free laundry machines on site. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. We will be back! Lovely place

Great Property

We spent New Year's weekend with a group of friends @ the property. The house was great with multiple gathering areas, fire places, and the outside covered area was fantastic. Very close to the river, and with its own private access. Donny is a great host who addressed any questions or comments we had immediately. We will certainly go back again.

We have stayed 7 years in a row around the same time. Although the price has gone up over the years (most likely due to the property taxes in the area), its always worth it because of the view and freedoms provided by the location and owners of the property.

About the host

Hosted by Donny Haggerton Jr.

I was born and raised in Kingsville, Texas. After 35 successful years in the Dry Cleaning/Laundry business, I retired and built 2 homes and 7 suites on the same land my mother and father purchased in 1960. Now, the property layout includes 4 spacious, private homes. I spend my summers entertaining and hosting families on the beautiful Frio River. My parents always loved having groups of friends and family enjoy this land for all of my life. Now I get to carry on their dream and help give families an unforgettable vacation experience in this stunning Texas getaway!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family estate and owned since 1960. It is one of the last properties on the Frio River with unchanged, undeveloped private riverfront which I enjoyed growing up in the 60's!
My unique architectural style and decorating flair makes my properties breathtakingly elegant, yet cozy with all the amenities of home.
I will be on premises to check your party in, and to see that families get the most fun out of their vacation. Need help? I'm just a call away!

What makes this property unique

One of our great features here at VacationFrioRiver.com is that we offer a complimentary tube shuttle service in our fully air-conditioned modified airport shuttle bus!
We will gladly drop your party off at Seven Bluffs Crossing for a 2-3 hour float that-guess what- ends up right on our Private Riverfront shoreline!
