Check-in was super easy and directions to the cabin were very helpful. Christy, our host, was extremely responsive to our questions and requests. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and plan to be back as soon as possible! The stargazing and wildlife were spectacular. The crazy rains prevented us from enjoying river time, but it’s very nice private access.

Dark Skies was GREAT!

This vacation home has everything you could possibly need. We loved our stay, the stars on that deck at night are AWESOME!! The private river access was nice for the kids to play. Just a short drive to Garner State Park to float the river. We would definitely stay again!

Quiet Getaway

Nice quiet getaway in Leakey. Nicely located to the Frío river and other activities. The view is great. Beds are comfortable. The kitchen is stocked. There is a swim hole near by. Our family had a nice time. We tubed down the frío, went to Joe Jimmy's dancing and went into town for some items and coffee at Josh's.

Wonderful stay!

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!

We wanted a peaceful, relaxing weekend away from realty and we got it. The weather was perfect for us and the cabin has all the amenities we needed. The views ARE spectacular!

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 house

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.

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.

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

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.
