Panoramic Country Views ~ Wildlife, Butterflies & Birds ~ Star-gazing ~ Hiking

Panoramic views surround Ash Creek Hideaway, this perfect escape. Relax in the peaceful Hill Country at our three-bedroom, two-bath home just a couple miles north of Leakey. Enjoy sitting and visiting on the front porch lined in 10 comfortable chairs and rockers, in the back yard watching the wildlife, or after dark star gazing.

Experience country family living on three acres covered with large shade trees that create a pleasant area for outdoor picnics, barbecues, and entertainment. A seasonal creek and springs are inviting to the wildlife. The whitetail deer, and an occasional axis, feed daily. Birds, jack rabbits, and squirrels frequent the feeders and provide hours of enjoyment and relaxation. Seasonal Hummingbirds, Purple Martins, and butterflies passing through can create hours of watching and entertainment. It’s not unusual for the raccoons and armadillos to be seen.

The house has sleeping accommodations for 12 people and linens are provided for the main beds. Enjoy the fresh air blowing through the open windows in the spring or the fireplace on a cool winter night. Central heat and air-conditioning, a fully equipped, newly remodeled kitchen, includes dishes, a dishwasher, and washer and dryer are a few of the amenities. Satellite television on the large Smart TV is included along with internet and a landline telephone.

The large, fenced yard is a nice place for your kids and outdoor pets to enjoy your travels too.

Access to the Frio River is available at river crossings in town, on the Rio Frio Road, Utopia Road, and the road to Vanderpool, several pay locations, and at Garner State Park. Whether a trip to the Frio River, some hiking at Lost Maples State Park, a weekend get-away to the country, a week of bird watching, or a quiet romantic time is what you are looking for, we hope you and your family enjoy your stay at Ash Creek Hideaway!

Family Vacay
This was the perfect place for our combined family getaway. It was a comfortable home in a beautiful setting. It was quiet and serene, close to the river and had good accessibility for my elderly father. We absolutely loved the abundant wildlife, especially the hummingbirds! Wendy was amazing…very communicative, responsive and friendly. She even came to replace the recliner that was broken, which was an essential item for my dad!! The whole family, even the pups, had an incredibly memorable stay.

Country Living Minutes from Town
Ash Creek Hideaway is a country cabin with classic southern front porch appeal and amazing wildlife but just minutes from Leaky with town convenience. The house is cute with three bedrooms, a cozy living area, a family sized table, and a well stocked kitchen. Situated just off 336, it a great entry point for any of the Sister rides. Or just sit on the porch or around the fire pit and enjoy the hummingbirds, deer, turkey, bird and squirrels. Highly recommend!

Excellent location!
We spent 3 days at the location and it was perfect. There was plenty of room for everyone and the location was close enough for quick trips to town and only a short drive to swimming holes. Wendy was great at communicating anytime I had any questions and was a pleasure to work with. We hope to be able to come and stay again!

Cozy, clean home away from home
I booked Ash Creek Hideaway primarily because of its location between Garner State Park and Lost Maples, as well as that it is pet friendly with a large, fully fenced-in yard. It was completely as described in the listing, very comfortable and cozy. The beds are comfy, lots of extra pillows and blankets. There is plenty of space for relaxing at the dining room table, in the living room, on the large front porch, or at the fire pit area outside. Our dogs loved the huge yard and we loved that we didn’t have to worry about them getting out of the well constructed fence. We had so much fun watching the wide variety of birds and other animals who visited. This place is stocked with many bird feeders (18 hummingbird feeders and lots of others!) as well as a deer feeder behind the house. We saw 5 doe and 2 buck white-tailed deer, 5 wild turkeys, and several ducks visiting the feeder. Wendy, the owner, is very easy to communicate with and offered several suggestions for things to do with our kids. She is a wonderful host!

Amazing stay away from the city for a weekend!
4 friends and my pup all stayed at Ash Creek Hideaway for a weekend and we all LOVED it! We especially enjoyed the location of the home as we all wanted to be as far away from people as we can. So peaceful and quiet! The experience we had was amazing from beginning to end! The process was smooth and Wendy was very helpful! We are definitely recommending Ash Creek Hideaway to our friends and family and would definitely be back again! Thank you!!!
