Perfect Cabin on the River
This was a great spot tucked away with a fabulous view of the river. Got to relax with the family with our own little piece of the river, not many people around. Super quiet and the house had everything we needed.

Had a blast!
This was our first family trip to the Frio and a memorable one! Had no surprises at the property and Mr. Moore answered every question we had. The privacy was what we looked for and only saw our neighbors from the other cabin during our stay. Went to the swim hole at Concan and missed the river at the cabin (the crowds)! Grilled each night and enjoyed the wilderness there as well. Boys loved Yahtzee during the storms and plenty of room in the cabin for our family of 5. Will stay again and recommend to friends!

What can i say priceless. Thank you Jhon for your grand hospitality it was more than we expected. The wine hit just fine, my wife and loved it. The view is breath taking, noncroweded and private. Perfect place to disconnect from the world. Water had the prefect temperature and the night sky is amazing. Thank you and looking forward to being out there again. #Marcolou

ROMANTIC HILL COUNTRY GET AWAY
If you truly want to get away from the hustle and bustle this is your place!! Looks at the Frio with no obstructions. Located in the heart of the Hill Country in the middle of the Twisted Sisters and minutes from Garner State Park. The house is perfect for 4 people though it was just the two of us. Love the HUGE front porch. Lots of wildlife. I racoon came to visit us when we were working on the porch. Ha! We have already booked for next year. You will NOT be sorry if you book this awesome place!!

Amazing Property
This property was exactly as it was listed and even better! The river view and access was amazing. The house was very cute, well maintained, and well stocked. The kitchen has just about everything you need, there are plenty of games and movies, the bedrooms are cozy with plenty of pillows and blankets, and the bathrooms even have shampoo and conditioner. My only advice is to make sure you can receive WiFi calls. It was difficult to get the phone call from the property manager 2 hours prior to check-in as per the check-in instructions because I had no service anywhere in that area: from Lost Maples State Park throughout Leakey, or by the property. We drove all over the hilly area trying to get up "high enough" to get service. No luck. Thankfully, I had the WiFi name and password on the reservation paperwork I had printed off. We sat around the fire pit on the property while I messaged the property manager through VRBO, but I didn't get a message back. I Googled how to make WiFi phone calls, and was finally able to call him. This isn't the property manager's fault, but it's good to know that you won't have service up there. Maybe getting the access code via phone call earlier would be helpful. I will definitely use this property again for another family getaway. We had 5 people in our group: a 17yo, two 18 yos, and us parents. Everyone had an amazing time. Super quiet, and the perfect way to disconnect from the world to enjoy each other's company and some nature.

Amazing Cabin Experience
This is a beautiful property. My family and I had an amazing experience staying here. After hiking at the nearby Lost Maples State Park, we came back to the cabin and explored the Frio River, right in front of the cabin. My 4 and 6 year old kids had an absolute blast in the river. We had dinner outside on the front porch and enjoyed the view before getting a campfire going and making s'mores. The interior of the cabin is furnished with very nice furniture and comfortable beds.
