CHECK OUT OUR LOW OFF-SEASON RATES! The most peaceful views can be found at Howdy's! \*\*\*WE NOW HAVE WIFI\*\*\* \*\*\*COME ENJOY OUR NEW UPDATES! We've been busy in January of 2024, replacing the original floors in the Main House as well as updating with new furniture. December of 2025- we now have 4 queen beds on the property in addition to keeping our 2 sets of bunks. A new walking path between the houses was put in as well.\*\*\* Howdy's on the Frio is a charming property located in Leakey, TX, RIGHT ON THE FRIO RIVER! Howdy's provides a beautiful, entertaining, and relaxing vacation spot for your family and friends. Howdy's sits on just under 2 acres of land and boasts breathtaking views of the river from its 400 sq. ft. deck. As you enter the river from Howdy's, you can enjoy a deep swimming hole that never goes dry, small rapids for the adventurous, and shallow water for the little ones- not to mention no across the river neighbors! Don't want to get wet? Then enjoy sitting on the large covered deck where you can watch your friends and family enjoy the river, while taking in the fantastic unspoiled views of the surrounding hills and Texas Hill Country sunsets. Once the sun goes down, light a fire in the fire-pit and roast marshmallows under the bright stars or play a game of dominoes out on the deck, all set to the sounds of the Frio. Howdy's sleeps up to 12 people and consists of the main house (2 bedrooms/1 bath) and the guest house (1 large room/1 bath), which is just 10 yards from the main house. The main house bathroom has just been remodeled in 2021 and new kitchen counter tops and sink in 2022! The main house has steps with railings and a relaxation landing heading down to the river. With the river and huge outdoor entertaining space within your fingertips, you may never find yourself inside. The children are sure to love the swing set and the see-saw on property. But if you do find yourself inside, you will love the Texas-made-comfortable and cozy feel of the house and guest house. In charge of the evening's meal? Then you won't miss out on any conversation while cooking in our open, fully-stocked, kitchen. The view of the Texas hills through our beautiful new double French doors will make cooking seem like anything but a chore. Need to holler at your kids to come eat? Do so from the grill area overlooking the river. At the end of the day, bask in the warmth of the wood-burning fire place while reconnecting with family and friends within the spacious, high-ceiling living space. Open the many windows at night to enjoy the cool fresh air and sounds of the river running below. Since the river is in your backyard, you may never need to leave the property. But the surrounding area has much to offer as well. Howdy's is only a mile to the main street of Leakey, TX and a few miles north of Garner State Park. The Three Sisters Drive is also only minutes away, with Lost Maples State Natural Area only 25 miles down the road. There are year-round activities in the Frio Canyon area ranging from tubing/kayaking the Frio in the summer, enjoying the fall foliage in autumn, hiking/hunting in the winter, and viewing wildflowers in the spring. The bird and deer watching are fabulous year round. World Class Golf is available at Concan Country Club. Don't forget the outdoor summer time concerts at House Pasture Cattle Company and of course the dances at Garner! Made in Texas! A vacation at Howdy's on the Frio is the perfect getaway for everyone! One note: All beds have quilts/comforters and pillows. Guests provide their own sheets, pillowcases and towels. Call Diane to learn more about Howdy's on the Frio. Please be sure to contact us if you'd like to stay for less than 3 nights during the summer season. Anytime there are less than three nights between other bookings, we are happy to make those nights available. Come make memories at Howdy's on the banks of the river!

This is an awesome property. It was exactly as advertised. The host Diane is a good communicator....great on the details without over communicating. In short. We had a BLAST. This property was special given the drought and low water conditions overall. The portion of the river here was great. The pools were deep and enjoyable. Some of the neighboring properties were dealing with only rocks while we had plenty of refreshing water. We could not have asked for more. ##### Al W.

It was truly our perfect getaway. The weather was humid a couple of days but not too hot at all. The cabins were nice and fully stocked with all you need to cook and eat meals.

I had to move the couch to sweep up the food, plates, and bugs. I had to also sweep around the windows lots of bugs. The mattress cover on the pull out bed was full of hair and crumbs. I brought my sheets as stated but the previous people must have not done so. Other than that everything else was fine. The kitchen was fully stocked. Plenty of sleeping space. View was magnificent. The BBQ pit came in handy and the fire pit. Everyone really enjoyed the house. Hopefully the next family that stays has a better experience than we did. ##### Lilliana I.
