Beautiful getaway

We LOVED staying here! It was perfect for our family and the hosts were the best! They made sure everything was perfect! It is such a beautiful area and the house was lovely. Plenty of kitchen supplies for cooking and a fun pool with a rope swing. I would highly recommend this house to everyone. Thanks for making our family trip amazing!

Cozy cabin by the frio

We had a wonderful time. The house had everything we needed. The pool was wonderful considering the Frio was a little low. Rodee was such a good girl. She added that at home feeling.

Charm of a River House with Modern Amenities

This property exceeded our expectations. Even with the Frio River low, there is a sizeable swimming hole nearby. We could either walk down to the river and/or drive our pickup for easy unloading, etc. My college-age son and his girlfriend were able to stay on top of their classwork with reliable Wi-Fi connection and a nice desk area upstairs. This property has too many amenities to list, but our favorites were the charcoal grill, gas flat-top, full size oven and stove top, table with firepit, washer/dryer, large shaded back deck, easy access to the house for unloading, and the comfortable beds. We will be back!

About the host

Hosted by Angela Downum

Brad and I have been married for 40 years, High School sweethearts! We raised two sons and have five awesome grandchildren. We are looking forward to sharing our home with others who know the value of family time and good friends.

Why they chose this property

This house was built by my parents in 1974 and I lived there until I married in 1980. We moved back into the home when my parents moved. We have so many great memories in this home and hope that others can make memories here as well.

What makes this property unique

Our home is located close to the town of Leakey where you can find local shops and businesses. The town is undergoing some renovations right now and we are looking forward to seeing how it turns the old historic buildings into more interesting shops and business.
If you are a biker we are located right off Highway 337, one of the Three Sisters, famous for the exciting ride.
For hiking we are located 10 miles from Garner Park and 14 miles from Lost Maples State park. And don't forget the old time dancing at Garner Park a favorite for visitor for years.
Best of all if your here for the Frio you are steps from it's clear cold water. Sit on the deck and listen to the sound of the water running by or go down and jump in and let the Frio washs your cares away.
