Peace and Tranquility

It was just what we needed. Wonderful property and a comfortable stay. We loved having happy wagging tails greet us when we arrived. The cabin was adorable! The highlight had to be the hanging bed patio. Listening to the water falling and gazing at the autumn colors from the patio was perfection!

Private getaway

We went for our honeymoon, cooked out on the grill, hiked, took the paddleboat out to see the fall colors on the water and listened to water falling over the dam each morning and evening. It is isolated, except for the hosts and a few homes nearby. No verizon service, but wifi and a local phone available free. The hosts were helpful and very nice, but respected our privacy.

A Paradise Get Away Gem

The cabin is surrounded by nature with waterfalls,birds and beautiful trees. It is extremely peaceful . We enjoyed the palapa area with the swinging bed. Cabin was fully stocked with all the needed amenities along with a hot tub and separate outside patio for grilling. Location of cabin is off the highway but yet close enough to be able to run into town if needed. Hostess was always available and extremely helpful for any questions. questions. So glad we found this gem and will certainly come back.

I am ready to go back to this couple’s retreat! When I was there, I was able to enjoy the present moment wherever we happened to be, whether it was the cabin, the deck and hanging bed, the paddle boat, or hiking. The sound of the water falling through the dam was a constant source of relaxation. The cabin was perfectly clean, cozy, and comfortable for the two of us. Everywhere we went, inside and outside, there was so much to see—the mix of art and nature. The privacy made this place a much needed escape and restful place to be. Chris is a thoughtful host who went out of her way to make sure we were experiencing everything her place in Leakey has to offer. Her dogs are friendly too and hiked with us and jumped around in the river. This place is so awesome! We will definitely return.

Much Needed Stay

Awesome hosts, beautiful property, super clean, calming, the property dogs were helpful and adorable, the vibe is out of this world. It was romantic and adventurous. The comfort and surroundings of the outdoor bed was phenomenal. Everything you need is in the house offered by the super hosts. The attention to detail is superb. We will be going there again.

15 year anniversary

The property was beautiful and Gary was a great host. Everything we needed was there. All we had to bring was food and drink. The place was very unique I think we enjoyed every moment there. Got to talk to Gary a couple of times and really enjoyed meeting him. Great guy. The only downside to this property if there is one would be more seclusion. There was more people and traffic nearby than I would have liked. Other than that we loved it and would definitely do it again. Thank you for opening your place up to us.

Great getaway!

The cabin is really cute and comfortable. It is small, but who wants to stay inside for long when the outside is so wonderful?!Chris and Gary are great hosts. They want you to feel at home, but are not intrusive in the least. It was great watching the hummingbirds and getting away from the city. My husband and I loved it!

Relaxing stay

The property, host, and animals were very welcoming. We loved relaxing, listening to natural surroundings and totally decompressing. We had planned to day trip to some parks but found once we got to the cabin, we didnt want to leave. We were able to hike around the property and area and enjoyed paddle boating but most of all loved just disconnecting from the day to day and reconnecting with each other. Definitely one of our favorite stays!!

Exceeded Our Expectations

When we found this property, we were looking for something unique and off the beaten path. We like a quiet stay, non-touristy, and a home away from home. This was a perfect getaway that more than met all of our guiderails. Everything was neat and clean and we just felt so relaxed. We cooked together on the outdoor grill, enjoyed very good wine, and relaxed in the hot tub. The view was spectacular, the sounds of the trickling water from the dam made for some much needed relaxing naps, and the fire pit made our evenings into a fine dining experience. We were also able to catch up on some good reading on the outdoor floating bed, not to mention some pretty awesome bird watching. We hiked the trail that led to the top of the property accompanied by 3 very experienced canine tour guides - Panda, Roady & Boone, who showed us a breathtaking view. All in all this was one of the best vacation experiences that we've had, and we look forward to doing this again one day. Thank you!

Mini paradise indeed!

I have stayed at this property before and I will in the future! The most beautiful and peaceful place to rest, unwind from the world and enjoy the beautiful Texas countryside! The property hostess is the sweetest example of a hard working, fun loving Texas woman you will ever meet! As I leave the property, I immediately start planning the next trip to return
