About this property

Nestled atop a hill a short walk to the peaceful banks of the Frio River, in Leakey, Texas, - with private river access - this spacious cabin sleeps up to 6 adults and 2 children comfortably and includes all the amenities you'll need for a relaxing getaway.

-Sleeps 6 adults + 2 kiddos
-Newly remodeled kitchen
- AMAZING deck

-Fire pit and firewood included
-Charcoal grill with charcoal and lighter fluid provided
-Peace and quiet
-DARK SKIES - lots of stars

Come and unwind in the quiet canyon under the Milky Way like you've never seen, and roast marshmallows on the fire pit. Grill some burgers and dine outside on the large deck. If you're looking for more action, head down to Garner State Park for the nightly dance under the stars during the summer, or Lost Maples for excellent hiking.

The river is perfect for kids, not too deep, but several swimming ‘holes’. Park your chairs in the river and relax with a cold drink while the the kids run wild and free! Quiet - no through tubers - a private stretch of river enjoyed only by surrounding landowners. Please not the river here is not suitable for tubing or kayaking, but there are plenty local spots for tubing and kayaking.

Great for birders in the spring, those seeking summer fun in the river, leaf watchers in the fall, and snow birds in the winter.

A beautiful destination anytime of year!

Everything Great!

House was very clean and extremely well supplied. We had a 96 year old with us and she loved it all. The view was very nice from the large deck. We roasted marsh mellows each night and enjoyed the various wildlife. This was much further up river than we normally stay. Being in the thick of the hills was very pleasing. The river is mostly shallow this far up which would be great for small children. Look forward to returning!

Peaceful paradise

Cozy cabin with panoramic views. Very private and quiet location. Spent many hours on the porch relaxing in comfortable chairs with ottomons. We are a couple from Houston trying to detox from the big city. We watched the sunrise and sunset every day. If you are a birdwatcher, this place is for you. Humimngbirds came everyday and at 7:22 p.m. like clock work, these crazy birds came and flew in circles in front of us and went to bed in their mud nests. What a show! This cabin is extremely clean! Kudos to the maid service. You couldn't tell that dogs are allowed in the cabin at all.

About the host

Hosted by Christy Almond

I've owned this cabin in Leakey, Texas since 2006. My family lived in the cabin for several years, but we now live in Boerne. We love the Leakey area so much, and hope you enjoy our little slice of the Frio Canyon.

Why they chose this property

This property is perfect for families with younger children. This is the 'quiet' part of the river. Unlike closer to ConCan, you won't see or hear high school and college kids partying. You'll only hear the quiet sounds of the river flowing, and maybe a coyote or two yipping at night.

What makes this property unique

Parts of Real County have been designated Dark Skies areas, and we strive to make sure you can enjoy the truly remarkable views of the Milky Way at the Frio River Cabin. This his house has an amazing front porch and brand new composite deck. The deck adds over 360 square feet of outdoor living space. There's also a new fire pit and plenty of room for everyone to find their own quiet space, inside or out.
