Birthday Fun for the Daughters
Time with family is so important so I offered my daughter and daughter-in-law a retreat to the hill country as a birthday getaway. Lori was an exceptional host by making sure we had great water to play in and a welcoming gift inside a lovely clean home on the creek! There were paddle boards and a kayak with oars at the ready for us to enjoy the water activities. My daughter-in-law tried out the paddle board and learned something new. My daughter decided the kayak was more her style and enjoyed doing that and they spent some fun time together on the creek. There was everything we needed and especially having a wall of windows to view the creek, cypress trees, hummingbirds, and deer was sooooo relaxing. That is what I had hoped for as these young women are mothers with children and work responsibilities and husbands and all the stress that can come with those roles in life! We got up ate breakfast there at the house but enjoyed a dinner in Kerrville at Billy Gene's. I spent some money at James Avery Silversmith because there was a terrific sale going on there! The best part of our stay was the creek activities, watching the hummingbirds, the comfortable home environment, and the many deer that stood in the front yard and ran through the backyard. Just being outside of the city environment was a great recharge for us. We even talked about returning in a cooler time to enjoy what Cypress Flats had to offer. Lori Brown took just the most thoughtful care as our host.

Perfect weekend on the river
We arrived to this sweet, quaint river house and were immediately greeted by hummingbirds and deer. It could not have been more perfect. The cliffs overlooking the water are beautiful and the entire property is extremely well-kept and clean. My family enjoyed catch and release fishing off the dock, swimming in the crystal clear water, and spending time together in the peacefulness of this sweet home. The host was super friendly with many suggestions. The home itself was clean and had everything we needed and the beds were comfortable! This home had a very comforting and welcoming feel. We will absolutely be back to recharge when we visit TX again.

Perfect for Young Children
This property was perfect for children ages 3 and 9. The swimming dock in the middle of the creek is ideal for that age. Fishing was fun for that age as most of the fish were small. Catch and release worked well. Serious fishermen will want to be on deeper water. Great lawn leading down to a nice creekside patio. The house was cozy and comfortable and well stocked. The host was very responsive and helpful.

Medina River Retreat
This property was perfect for our family. The owners have cleared the riverbed in front of their property of vegetation and provide a wonderful floating platform with a ladder attached. Our 5 and 6 year old grandkids had a ball jumping off into the river. There are plenty of river toys provided including kayaks and paddles and swim noodles. There are even fishing poles. The owners have gone to great lengths to make your stay comfortable in every way.

Perfect Family Vacation Spot
Beautiful surroundings! Crystal clear water with easy access. We spent time sitting on the porch and watching the humming birds, cardinals and squirrels. Totally private and peaceful. The house has everything you could need . Bring food and drink and you will never have to leave the property. The grandsons loved having their own bedrooms. They also loved the dependable wifi. This was our second stay at Tortuga Frio and it has become our favorite place for fun and relaxation.

Our family of two adults and four kids (ages three to eight) had a fantastic time. The house was very clean and well stocked. The view was gorgeous and it was so nice being right on Turtle Creek. We all enjoyed swimming, floating, jumping off the floating dock, fishing and watching the turtle. Lori was a great host and good communicator. Would definitely stay here again.

This place is a gem. We had plans to explore the area but just ended up hanging out by the water, fishing, swimming and playing with kayaks and paddle boards all day. One of the most relaxing trips we've had. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely Amazing
This was a perfect mini vacation for my family. Beautiful rental all the way around. House was very clean and nicely decorated. Turtle Creek was crystal clear with huge rock bluffs. If you are wanting to get away and enjoy the peace and quiet of nature, this is the place. My 8 yr old son had the best time fishing. The yard was perfectly manicured all the way down to the creek. Huge trees shaded the yard. The porch was great to sit and relax and watch the birds come to the feeders. The view of the creek from the porch was beautiful as well. We were definitely not disappointed and would recommend this rental to anyone that is looking to book a place with live water.

Spring break relaxation
The location on Turtle Creek is amazing. The water is crystal clear. We did not swim because it wasn’t warm enough. My husband enjoyed kayaking. It was so relaxing just to sit by the water. The house itself feels smaller than the square footage due to an odd layout with a galley style kitchen. It was great for the 3 of us, but I think it would feel crowded with 6 people unless you spend a lot of time outside. The kitchen is well stocked, with the exception of cereal/rice bowls. There were very flat soup bowls and some plastic cereal bowls. I’m glad I brought food storage containers from home because there were not any bowls for that - unless I just couldn’t find them. There were mixing bowls that I used several times.

Great location, great cabin, we are coming back
We are very careful selecting where do we stay in our trips, and this VRBO promised from what we read on previous reviews. When we got to the cabin, we were positively surprised, it was better than the pictures and the reviews. My family enjoyed the privacy of the location, the immacualte condition of the cabin and the property, the cabin layout, and the amazing backyard area. We are coming back for sure, Lori Brown was amazing as a host, thank you for allowing us to stay in your beautiful place!

Weekend getaway
Enjoyed our stay, house on smaller side but perfectly adequate for my husband, me and three kids. The creek is barricaded just a couple houses down on both sides so a little short for kayaking but we did enjoy playing in the cool water and reading on the patio. Water shoes might be helpful as the creek bottom by the entry is a bit rocky.
