Awesome Trip

We go every summer and this has been our favorite house to stay in so far! The house has a lot of space and the outdoor area is great. It’s a short walk or drive down to the water. And the host, Donny, was helpful and always available.

Memories made here!

What an amazing place to celebrate my mother's 50th birthday! We had plenty of space & really enjoyed the outdoor area where we spent most of our time. Donny was an awesome host! Communicated clearly leading up to our stay & made sure we had everything we needed once we arrived (including ice). Donny takes care of his property & his guest, and we will definitely seek him out in the future.

Frio River Family Vacation

Great property with many options on where to stay. Ella’s was perfect for our family. Plenty of room and comfortable sleeping arrangements. The kitchen and living room were spacious. The outside area had plenty of room for cooking and hanging out. The path to the river was a short walk with a picnic table and our own access to the river. The owner, Don, was very hospitable and quick to respond when we had a question. We are looking forward to making this our yearly family vacation spot!

We really enjoyed our stay here! The bedroom layouts were perfect for 3 families. The outdoor area was our favorite spot. Kitchen was supplied with everything we needed for large meals. Only small issue was we didn’t have enough coffee cups for our large group. The river spot is a short walk. Maybe 300 yards. The host is super friendly and we enjoyed meeting him. We will definitely stay here again!

Great spot on the Frio

Although there was no floating the river this year, this spot on the river still had plenty of water to sit out and enjoy. We loved that it had river access, a swim spa and when able to float, they shuttle you and you float back to the property. My family has been going to the Frio for over 40 years. We’ve never stayed anywhere that offered so much!

Frio River trip

Donny has this figured out. Been to the Frio many times in the past, but none as good as this trip. Never a worry once we got checked in. Place is secure and we never had to worry about putting any of our stuff away at night. House is great. Location is perfect. It was a really enjoyable trip and one we will do again.
