This was our 4th year to stay at The Frio House. The hosts are very responsive and we enjoyed our stay. The property is perfect for our needs. We have three families. There are three separate sleeping areas, each with a bathroom. The steps down to the river are no problem for us but could be a problem for someone with mobility issues. However, we feel safer being on a bluff, high above the river, in case of a flash flood. Nice and quiet place for a family vacation!
My 2nd time staying here and it’s was amazing again with that perfect view from the balcony.The house was perfect for everyone .We can’t wait to stay again new year
Second time at this beautiful river front property. Lots of room for privacy for groups. Main home has wonderful view and an excellent gathering place for meals, games and overall family/ group time. Will be back!
The Frio House is a great place for families with small children to stay on the Frio. It’s very peaceful there and the river has shallow and deep places for all age kids. The house has three separate areas with bathrooms. It’s perfect for our group of three families.
Great place to make new memories for the entire family. This was our second visit to the Frio house and enjoyed every minute of the serene environment.

About the host
Hosted by The Frio House
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.
