Historic 1869 Whiskey Mtn. Home Great Location- Sleeps 15-22 Great Location

My place is close to Garner State Park (3 Miles), Lost Maples Park, Frio River, Concan, Utopia, Kerrville, & Uvalde. The famous three sisters (best driving roads in the USA) You’ll love my place because of the location, the ambiance, and the outdoors space. My place is good for couples, solo adventurers, families (with kids), big groups, and furry friends (pets), Pets are an additional $15 per pet, per night.
If you are wondering how we got our name Whiskey Mountain….Many years ago during the prohibition times, a whiskey distillery was developed in a cave in the mountain behind our property.  The Bootleggers were caught selling their production and the local population decided to call this “area” Whiskey Mountain.
It was built in 1869 and is a 1 ½ story German farmhouse with a lot of history and tales!  The stories written tell of families full of love with dances in the front rooms and horses tied up to the front cypress tree posts that hold up the 50 foot front porch!
Whiskey Mountain Inn is nestled in the Texas Hill Country off Hwy 83 about 3 miles South of Leakey, Texas.  We are convenient in location to many attractions in the Frio River area such as Garner State Park and Lost Maples State Natural Area and we are within a very short distance to river access.  GPS Coordinates: 29.671926,-99.758476

The property is gorgeous; lots of area to walk around and for the kids to play, they had fantastic communication, everything was clean love that they had double mattress protectors! Friendly and loved learning about the history of the area and house. One of our new favorite places to stay in Leakey. It was close to Garner State Park and not far from lost Maples. We had a blast and will come back again!

This house suited our large family just right, we had a great time and the house had a farm house cozy feeling. Our children and family loved the time we spent together. There was plenty of supplies to make a whole Thanksgiving dinner. We definitely will be coming back in the future and highly recommend it.

The house was really cool. We enjoyed the old home, the hardwood floors and such. Sleeping arrangements were fine. Some of the smaller mattresses on the beds were not comfortable according to some of our family members. And if only two bathrooms is a challenge for you, that could be an issue. We did fine.

The house was older with a pretty closed floor plan. It was in a great location for Garner State Park and tubing the Frio. It served the purpose for a last minute trip. The only hassle really was having to bring all our own towels and bedding for everyone on the trip and having to make all the beds once we got there.

Best Family Getaway

This was the perfect stop for our entire family. The location is so close to eveything Garner State Park, Utopia, Frio River, and our favorite Lost Maples. The place has the old country feel but with all the modern necessities. It was so peaceful with all the beautiful trees. So much room to explore around the big home. The beds were very comfortable. Lots of activities for us to do. My family loved hanging aroung the firepit at the end of the night sharing great stories. The cabins are very soaced aoart. So you have room to explore. You are close to a few stores if you forget something. We definitely will visit again. We enjoyed traveling through the roads with the beautiful trees as a backdrop.

Disappointed

We checked in at 4:00pm. Storm hit at 7:00 and by 7;20 we had no power. We waited around to see when it was gonna come back on. 21/2 hours we left for a motel because of our lil ones. When emailed the next day we got one short email and it said “ there is nothing we can do, we have no control over the storm! They didn’t respond to anything after that…

sewage issues

The location and communication with the host was great, however there was an issue with the sewage system over following into the yard. This caused one of the bathrooms to be out of order which was inconvenient with 18 people staying in the house. Other than that it was great.

Great historic house on the Frio!

Great historical house with an amazing property! Plenty big enough for the entire family. Only cons for us were having to bring your own towels and sheets plus no washer and dryer. So if your staying longer period of time with the whole family not having this amenity can be a bummer. Also having an actual shower would be nice! Overall great house, great host and plenty to offer.

Rental did not match the high price per night

At first glance it’s beautiful but then you stay the first night and notice….The doors don’t close, the furniture is falling apart, the restrooms are dirty one restroom doesn’t have a stand up shower, only an old fashion tub with a hand held shower attachment, only the two children took a bath in that restroom, the adults took a shower in the upstairs bathroom we had to put a towel to stand in tub because it was filthy and it had mildew around tub, the sinks are old and dirty, one room doesn’t have a door, the twin beds are low end that they make so much noise at night, some mattresses are comfortable but other mattresses were so bad that we had to go buy air mattresses to be able to sleep, the window units were loud and had a musty smell and the septic system is so bad, WiFi is weak even when there is an emergency the phones are useless. Yes, I understand that it’s a cabin in the country and it should be rustic and it is used to relax but it shouldn’t be dirty and falling apart. Expectations are high for the price and it should match the rental house. We won’t come back.

Excellent location

We had a family stay at whiskey mountain inn. All together there were 15 people who stayed including toddlers, adults, my grandma and 6 dogs. The house accommodated us all very comfortably. There was plenty of room for everyone. The location was excellent! We were so close to the river and to garner state park. We definitely enjoyed our stay. From visiting the rivers and tubing to making s’mores in the backyard, everything was very enjoyable. This house has a huge front patio where everyone can sit and relax and also a cute patio in the back where we would play games and hangout and look at the stars. The kitchen is huge! Plenty of space for everyone to cook and eat. However, there are many signs all around the house that let you know you will be charged if something is damaged. Although it is good to know these things, it makes you feel a little worried the entire trip that you’ll get charged for something in the end. Overall though, it was a very fun and pleasant stay.
