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.

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.

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.

About the host

Hosted by Elizabeth R Manglberger

Host profile image
I have lived in Leakey my entire life. Met my husband at college in Alpine, Texas and brought him back home with me. Eventually he also moved his mother here.

Why they chose this property

My mother-in-law bought this property in 1991 as her retirement home. My husband inherited it so since we already had a home in Leakey, we decided to create a vacation rental. I lost him in 2017 so I acquired partners that do rentals professionally. We have worked hard to gradually update the property and create a comfortable place for your vacation on the banks of the East Branch of the Frio River.

What makes this property unique

The home is located 7 miles north of Leakey with the Frio River as its back yard.
