Best location on the Frio

This is by far one of the best location to spend a weekend with your family and friends. The property fit comfortably for our family of 5 and our friend’s family of 4. The beds were comfortable and kitchen had everything we needed and the only appliance we brought was our griddle. The kids enjoyed swinging from the rope into the crystal clear water. In the evening, we would sit on the porch enjoying the beautiful star lit sky. The hostess, Rebekah, was very responsive and provided detailed information before our trip so we know what to expect.

Great getaway

The Frio House was perfect for our group. The property is beautiful. Right on the river and we loved sitting on the porch listening to the birds every morning with our coffee. Although the river was low (as we expected this visit due to the drought) the property is spacious and allowed us to spread out and create some fun with cornhole, card games, great conversations etc. The property allows for spending time together as a big group in the larger spaces and also because of the three separate sleeping quarters we could get away from the group for a bit if we needed to. The kitchen is well stocked and we had fun cooking and grilling outside together. Overall a great long weekend.

Fantastic Stay!

We spoke with the owners beforehand and they were super nice and easy to work with. Everything was quite seamless. The house was beautiful and there was plenty of room for everyone to spread out. The river in this area is great, several rope swings for the kids to jump off and just really a great place to relax and enjoy the river. Top notch find!! Thanks so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home.

Great Location

The house is in a perfect location and the river is beautiful. However, the cleanliness of the house could be better. There were cobwebs all over the place, several black widows, mildew in the washing machine, pans in the cupboard with food stuck on them, and two out of the three toilets could not handle paper products, so we had to put used toilet paper in the trash cans instead of flushing it down the toilet. Overall a good experience but not what we expected for the price.

Family getaway

We had a great time at this charming location and house. Perfect house for our family seeing that the property consists of three separate houses. Main house was perfect when everyone was together and separated houses (literally steps away) was great for the young adults. Thank you for sharing your property with us. Definitely will be back.

The Frio House

The Frio House was amazing and perfect for our family of 10. There are 3 separate quarters including the main house/two bedroom. Due to the drought the river was low but we enjoyed swimming and fishing in front of the house. The Frio House has everything you need to cook including a grill. We made fun memories and can't wait to go back! Thank you Chris and Rebekah!

About the host

Hosted by The Frio House

Host profile image
Hi! We are Chris & Rebekah, the owners of The Frio House (formerly Georgia's Retreat). We first came to the Frio River together almost 16 years ago and have been coming back ever since. We always wanted a place at the Frio for our family to make memories and our dream finally came true. We fell in love with the property and think y'all will too! We live a few hours away from the Frio River, but are super excited to spend as much time as we can here and share it with you all too.

Why they chose this property

Simple...THE FRIO RIVER! We had been looking for a home on the Frio River for a while, but finally found the one. Before purchasing the property, we too rented the property and were guests at The Frio House. While renting the property, we fell in love and couldn't pass up the opportunity to snatch up this little piece of heaven on the Frio River. One of our main criteria in our property search was deep water. The deep water swimming hole directly behind The Frio House is a rare find along the Frio River. There are few properties with a piece of the Frio River like this one. The crystal clear swimming hole, view of the sunset across the mountains, and sounds of the river below make this a relaxing spot to get away and make those family memories.

What makes this property unique

The mix of deep and shallow water is the best benefit of this property. Many other places along the Frio begin to dry up in the late summer, but not The Frio House! You'll always have deep water immediately behind the house and shallower water just downstream. The water varies from about 3 feet deep up to roughly 8 feet deep along The Frio House property.

The location in Leakey is another great feature. Leave the crowds in Concan and enjoy the peaceful setting here. Leakey has all the normal amenities you'd expect like a full grocery store, great restaurants, liquor stores, banks, gas stations, and more. We're just a couple minutes from all these locations, but you'll feel like you're miles from anywhere when you're at The Frio House.
