Cottage on the Frio River

Drive in or fly in to relax in a cozy 3 bedroom cottage on the Frio River. Yes, we have an air strip for those of you who have the capability of flying in. The views will bring tranquility and you will not want to leave. Enjoy the fire pit on the rock patio that over sees the views of mountains and trees. The river is approximately 200 yards away where you can enjoy swimming or fishing. When not at the river, challenge your friends/family to a game of corn hole or horse shoes. The cottage on the river is a great place to get away from the business of life and to slow down and enjoy the ones that mean the most to you.

***please be aware that during a drought, we have no control over the flow of the river. Our refund policy is posted and it will be followed. **

Excellent fly in cabin
Beautiful property, great views, very nice and comfortable cabin. Very convenient right on the airport. The airport is great, good asphalt and good tie down cables. Short walk into town. There was some road noise and shooting going on but it wasn’t bad, still a very peaceful setting .

It was a peaceful place to relax and get away from the city. Beautiful land. Too bad the river in the back was dry but we still enjoyed a day at Garner State Park.

Great Family River Trip!
We enjoyed our stay with 6 adults, 2 babies, and 2 dogs. The private river access was great. We enjoyed the firepit and hot tub also. Having a fenced yard was great for the dogs. Being right by the airport was neat. We saw a few planes and a gyrocopter! The owners were very friendly and communicative.

Great vacation cabin!
The cabin was just as described. We had 7 in our group and everyone had enough room, the beds were comfortable and the back porch had fantastic views. The kitchen had everything we needed to prepare our food. The dishwasher need to be screwed in tight, and there were a few boards on the porch that need replacing , but other than that

Good but could tweek a few things
The lighting was pretty bad in the house with white fluorescent bulbs. toilet paper holders were broken and not any counter space in the bathroom. The back porch and view is amazing! No water in the river next to it which was deceiving from the pictures. We loved being so close to Garner and had a great time!

No water, no problem
This cottage is in good condition for being built in the 1800s with lots of charming original features (plus plenty of modern updates as well!) The Frio was low (practically non-existent) but it really wasn't a problem; Garner was a quick trip away and with day passes we were able to spend some time there in the river. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. The host is helpful and responds quickly!

Cute little cabin, great getaway
This property was perfect for our family (dad, mom, and 4 kids ages 15 through 4, and goldendoodle). Great location, close proximity to Garner where we went two nights for the dance. We also spent a couple afternoons there since the river was low on the property but nothing anyone can do about that. Great getaway to unplug and reconnect!

Cathryn C.

It was okay
The beds were comfortable and the back porch was nice. Several things disappointed me. 1. There was a mop bucket full of dirty mop water and mop left in the kitchen. 2. There was only one garbage bag that fit the trash can in the kitchen. When I asked the owner about it, no response. 3. The living room furniture was awful. Not what it was in the pictures. The couch was uncomfortable and seemed dirty. Same with the 2 chairs. There was no “sitting together in the living room.” 4. There are no closets or dressers to unpack. Had to live out of suitcases for 5 nights. 5. There is a window in the shower that is not made of frosted glass. It is too big and too low of a window to have in a shower. The curtain that covers it is sheer. If you shower at night, anyone and see in. That is not safe or appropriate. 6. The first day, the hot tub was not functioning and it smelled bad. Overall, we had a good time. We will try another house if we return to the Frio River.

Quiet, peaceful getaway!
We loved our stay! The view from the back porch was phenomenal and we ended up spending most of our time there relaxing. The house was very clean, our dogs enjoyed the fenced yard, beds were comfortable. The property is just on the outskirts of town, so you feel like you’re away from it all but close enough to town to get your necessities. You’re minutes away from Garner State Park and some gorgeous drives. Definitely would stay again!

Nice getaway
A nice and relaxing weekend. The beds are super comfortable and the view was great. The place needs a little TLC but overall it’s really nice. The dishwasher needs to be secured to the cabinet, toilet paper holders are broken, the hot tub never warmed up - but we had a relaxing weekend and I recommend this location to fellow travelers and family.

We absolutely love this cottage! We have rented it 3 times now and it is perfect. I really wish it had a washer and dryer that is really the only thing that it needs. The property is great! We love coming each summer.

Private river getaway
We knew ahead of time that the river would be low and were a little worried, but we walked approximately 200 yards upstream and found a small, clean, fresh water swimming area. The property was clean, quiet and well stocked as advertised. It was also fun to see some plane activity during our stay at the nearby airport. The hot tub was a fun bonus we didn’t think we’d use, but enjoyed lots of time in it! We were less than 5 minutes away from town, making it easy to grab a meal or supplies. Would definitely recommend.

Nice stay
We enjoyed our stay in this historic cottage. It was comfortable for 3 adults and two elementary age children. The view is great- sitting on the porch in the swing is perfect for morning coffee. Plenty of seating on porch and patio/fireplace area. Kitchen is adequate and charcoal grill makes meals easy.. Stargazing is spectacular!

PERFECT SETTING
We spent a long week-end with our son, daughter-in-law and two dogs. The house was very clean; beds and pillows were extra comfy and the proximity to the Frio River was like heaven on earth for our dogs. The kitchen has an over-sized window overlooking the backyard and mountains which is such a serene vista. The owner was very gracious and check-in couldn't be easier. The porch behind the property extends the entire length of the house, and a lovely flagstone patio with a fire pit and lots of outdoor furniture made the outdoors a true pleasure. The Frio River isn't visible from the house, but is just a minute's walk behind the house and easily accessible. Our dogs were like two spoiled children ... loving every minute. The pictures and reviews are spot on! We would definitely stay here again. Wendy S

Excellent Getaway
My family of four plus our two dogs recently stayed here for a long weekend and had blast. The property was beautiful with great views, sunrises and sunsets`. We spent mornings and evenings on the patio, taking day trips to the various state parks in the area. The hot tub under the stars was a definite plus. This was the first time we brought our dogs on a trip and the house was set up very well for them, surrounded by a fence to keep them contained so we didn’t have to worry. The dogs relaxed as well…lying on the porch, overlooking the meadow and taking in the views. The house was clean and owner was very responsive to a few questions we had. We would definitely recommend and are looking forward to getting back!
