RIVERFRONT! - The Frio House - Riverfront property on the Frio River

DIRECTLY ON THE FRIO RIVER
The Frio House has it's very own deep water swimming hole that never goes dry!
It is is a family owned vacation rental property directly overlooking the Frio River in Leakey, Texas. There is a little bit of everything for everyone on this part of the river...deep water, shallow water for the little kiddos, private rope swing, small rapids that you can hear from the back deck, and mountain & sunset views. The deck is a perfect spot to enjoy that morning coffee overlooking the peacful river. There is a fire ring to roast s'mores and enjoy with your family when the sun goes down. A rocking bench sits half way down the steps below the back deck and the river to enjoy more wonderful river views.

The main house living area has vaulted ceilings and an open floor plan. The spaciousness of the living area makes visiting with your family and friends easy. Prior guests have found the house to be very cozy and a great place to reconnect with family and friends. It consists of the main house, the attached bunk room, & a guest apartment. The house has steps & railing leading down to the river below. It accommodates up to 15 people; perfect for that family vacation you have been wanting to take.

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.

Family fun on the Frio
The Frio House is a great place for a family to stay to enjoy the Frio River. With 3 separate sleeping areas, each with a bath it was perfect for our family. The owners are very nice and helpful too! We enjoyed our stay!

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.
