My family loved La Vida La Frio!!! The house is situated by the beautiful Frio River. The view from one of the sitting areas is spectacular! There are steps leading down to the river where you can sit and feel the peace; kayak; tube or wade in the clear clean and invigorating Frio. You can walk down away from the crowd and fish. There are bass and trout. You should bring your waders. You can sit by the fire and make s’mores. The house is spacious and absolutely beautiful! The beds are very comfortable and the bathrooms and showers are modern and have great showers and shelving. The atmosphere is clean, light and inviting. The kitchen is especially well designed and equipped with everything you could possibly need. There is plenty of space for several cooks and seating for a large group. The design is excellent and the decorating is interesting and lovely!! It captures the essence of the area. My family and I celebrated my birthday there; and it was perfect! Also, it is very near Gardner State Park and Lost Maples State Park for day excursions. Tom Kirkpatrick was very helpful and kind. He was attentive to our needs, cooperative, available and friendly. I really enjoyed meeting him. I would give my highest recommendation to go there. My family and I definitely want to stay there again.
