Private Home & Frio River Front - 2 Main BR + Optional extra BR - max 19 guests

Don't miss this opportunity to enjoy an established "retro" home on the banks of the East prong of the Frio River. This estate has a lawn that extends all the way to the banks of the Frio where you have private access to that area. Although it is not a recently constructed home, it features two bedrooms with newly installed tile floors. Both bedrooms have two queen-size beds. A toddler bed is available upon request. There is a fold-out queen size couch and queen sized futon in the living area. Maximum Capacity of 12 people + a toddler in the main house and the annex/bunkroom can be rented at an additional charge of $150 per night. It adjoins the kitchen and sleeps an additional 7 guests. This quaint home is nestled on the banks of the Frio just below the headwaters. There is a minimum nightly stay depending on the season. So whether your thing is floating in a tube, snorkeling, or a little catch and release fishing this is a place for you.
We supply bedroom linens and beds for up to 12 guests in the main house and 7 guests in the annex and a toddler but don't forget your bath and kitchen linens as well as personal toiletries.
We have our own personal well water but not chlorinated. We suggest that you bring bottled water if you are not accustomed to nonchlorinated water. The kitchen is furnished with a large supply of cookware.
All refunds are based on a full calendar day from check in time and day booked. 60-Day cancellation policy for full refund. 30-day cancellation policy for 50% refund. No refund after 30 days prior to stay or for early check out. $1000.00 deposit for damages.
No Smoking inside the home. No pets except for service animals with credentials.

Frio River Eclipse Stay
Accommodations were comfortable for a large group. The kitchen is big, good for us folks who like to cook. The back patio was the chief attribute to our enjoyable stay, for eating outside, enjoying the river, and hanging out.

A great place to stay!
The property is an excellent choice for a get away. It is very spacious with some of the best waterfront & wildlife views around, from the hummingbirds to the deer. The owners are very nice & knowledgeable about the area as well. Even though its a lil retro, its just an all around great choice!

We had a great time staying at this property. There was plenty of room for everyone. Owner replied quickly to all questions. House is exactly how it is advertised. If you are looking for something fancy then this is not the house for you. It was clean and spacious and met all our needs. Thank you Beth.

Fun for the Whole Familiy
Great time at the house and in town -- enjoyed kayaking in the river, fishing and just floating where the wind took us. Spent most of our time outside and taught the kids about the rotary phones and retro-features. Elizabeth is a great host -- and thankful for her expertise of the surrounding communities when a quick trip to the ER was needed for some stitches thanks to an adventurous little one.

Family Weekend
The river here is absolutely perfect for us. We swam, canoed, had a great time with the rope swing and my granddaughter loved jumping from the tree stump. The house has plenty of room and the yard and back patio are lovely. The kitchen floor was filthy. I'm not impressed with the location of the fire pit. It is too close to the AC unit. It was too hot to want a fire anyway. My other disappointment was the amount of road noise.

Good fun
Nice deep hole for swimming had more Lilly pads than we expected but was clear and beautiful. We kayaked up and down and it was soo beautiful and peaceful. Not much sun shines through the trees though. the house was spacious definitely never felt under each other’s feet. The retro vibe was cool to the older people and gross to the teens and 20 somethings lol. I only have 2 suggestions; I would remove the non potable water signs or at least don’t have the scary no ingestion pic on the sign. I know it’s a legit name for well water but it makes it seem dangerous and Non drinkable. I grew up on well water so it didn’t phase me at all but the others in our group were scared to even use it to brush their teeth lol. I have rented many other properties in the past who were on well water and none had a non potable sign. With the reviews stating that the water stunk I was expecting a sulfur smell because some wells are that way but ur water just smelt like iron not gross or unpleasant just Normal hard water smell. Second suggestion would be to add curtains (u can’t see through) or blinds to the back windows of the rooms and bathrooms because when some of us were still outside on the patio or in the yard we could see everyone in the rooms and one or 2 of our group were seen changing. Other than that everything was great thank you for sharing your home.

Creepy Owners, Roach Feces, HVAC Refrigerant Leak in House,
We thought things were strange when the owners showed up to “turn off the sprinklers” but stayed and talked to my family that beat us to the rental. The husband and wife began to tell them all about the houserules. The river fish are their “grandchildren’s pets” and “catch and release” fishing only, even though they advertise their rents as “perfect for fishing”. The owners spent 30 minutes “waiting for us to arrive” to accept cash on the side of VRBO for an extra night because VRBO “has too many fees”. They finally left my family members to enjoy their stay while we continued to make our way to the property. Upon arrival, we saw that there was dried food on the “clean” silverware, not enough cups for 8 people to have coffee when the description reads that it can seep 18 comfortably. We saw dying tree cockroaches in the cabinets, and roac feces on the plates. Everything from the cabinets had to be washed. We realized quickly that the house is advertised as having whole home WiFi, however it only works well in the Master bedroom, which was inconvenient for us, as we operate a business remotely, and like to be able to sit with our kids while they are playing outside. Second night, the ac was blowing hot air. owner came over and tripped the breaker, which didn’t make sense because the blower was running prior to that. A tech was called out and told my husband the he “topped off” the unit with refrigerant, which was leaking into the house, making us sick.

Blast to the past
So the house is beautifully furnished, the decor is very nice. My family said it's a nice 70s style house with a touch of modern, and the appliances work very well. There are no laundry appliances. River access in the back yard, is good, over grown with lily pads. But still very nice and great vacation spot.

Comfortable accommodation on East Frio
Comfortable accommodation with easy access to East Frio. The listing and reviews were accurate, but we were still surprised by the highway road-noise volume, how minerals in the water clouded dishware, and the property manager only providing one roll of TP per bathroom for a 3-night stay in a house rated for 19 guests (we were directed to Dollar Store in Leakey to get more).
