First of all, this property is one of the most unique, "cool" places we have ever stayed. The pictures can't possibly do it justice. We had 5 families and each had their own space. The loft, while open to the stairs, was still divided enough for privacy. Everything was clean, there was plenty of cookware in the kitchen, many seating areas to enjoy meals, games, or just hang out. We had 13 adults and 7 little boys ranging from 11 years old to 11 months old, and there was something for everyone! We were worried going into the trip because everyone has been coming back from the Frio this summer talking about how low/empty the river is. We did not experience this at Firewater. If the whole Frio dried up, I believe there would still be water here. We enjoyed sunbathing/splashing with the younger kids around the rocky shore, and the older kids swam, snorkeled and really enjoyed the middle (it was still nearly chest-high). The outdoor area was amazing. We ate breakfast on the picnic table every morning with the most beautiful hill country views I have ever seen, and played dominoes under the lights every night. We enjoyed private access to the river, as well as a convenient proximity to town for drinks, ice and stores. Teena was such a good host, with great instructions, communication and accommodation. We made so many memories, this was a dream vacation!
