About this property

A perfect family vacation on the Frio River.

Looking to enjoy the eclipse this October or the one in April here is your spot.
Dreaming of a perfect family vacation this summer? Downum on the Frio is the place for your family or even a group of friends. Relax on the deck above the pool, swing into the clear Frio River from the rope swing at the swimming hole or just sit in a river chair with your favorite beverage in your hand. We have something for the entire group.
Anyone in the group love to ride, well we are located right off 337, one of the Twisted Sisters, famous for the best ride in Texas.
Home is 3 bedroom 2 1/2 bath located on the Frio River. Just steps away from the fresh clear waters of the Frio River and 1 mile from the town of Leakey, where you can shop for supplies or enjoy the charming hometown shops. Property also has a pool for those who want to relax and lounge with a large deck for outside enjoyment.
Will sleep 14 comfortably in 5 queen beds, 4 upstairs, also upstairs one twin, as well as a sofa sleeper and twin in the living area with linens and towels supplied. There are 4 TV's, free wifi, fully equipped kitchen, laundry area and gas grill, wood burning grill and gas flat top for cooking out of doors.
On your bike and need supplies, give us a call and we can have what you need waiting for you when you arrive.
Leakey has some new restaurants and night spots not to be missed as well as a few new food trucks.
Another special thing about Downum on the Frio is the river dog Roadie. She will entertain you and adds to that home feeling. Roadie has all 5 star reviews.
We have added a small bedroom space downstairs with a twin bed, perfect little private space. If you need more space there is a cabin on the property that sleeps six, two bedrooms, two baths with a queen size sofa sleeper in the living area. To check it out look up the Bunhouse on the Frio VRBO # 2334096. The combination of both places gives large families room to spread out but be together. Both places still have some August openings and the river is flowing and the pool is cold. Book now for a great vacation.

Host profile image
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.
