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

Great location but we had to cut our trip short. Every night you could hear rats running around. The in-laws saw some on the restroom and you can heard them trough the walls.

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.

Disappointed. Not worth it.
Overall our stay at Whiskey Mountain Inn was pretty good. The value for what we paid was not competitive. I did not feel the love or welcome ness from the host, but rather an over lurking sense that the host wanted me to screw up so I could be charged more money. The property has a mishap mash of decor that was confusing and seemed to be compiled of left overseas, hand me downs, and/or garage sale thrift finds. Example the old pots, pans, and kitchen utensils, the dining table, the couch in the living room, the high bed...etc. There were a couple of major issues. 1) Cleanliness. Especially of kitchen, remarkably the stove, pans, and utensils. The upstairs bathroom shower. If I'm going to spend this much, I expect a clean place. 2) Bathrooms. Unable to flush toilet paper. With 8 guests in our party, we were fearful of plumbing issues since warning signs that the septic system cannot handle top flush indicated old pipes and faulty system which we could be charged for. 3) Warning signs of being charged all over property. $500 if we didn't cIean, $200 or more if septic problems, etc... I was so fearful of what my final bill would be and worried the whole trip. 4) Breakables all over property. Especially in kitchen. Kitchen hutch and bakers racks were covered in breakable dishes, decorations, glass jars, etc. I was so worried something would get broken and we would be charged. Filled storage spaces and did not leave room for the supplies we thought we were going to need based on the listing. The listing made it sound like hardly anything would be available so we packed way more than we needed to bring. Host might consider taking out breakables and replacing with paper/plastic goods as we had no Tupperware/storage containers. 5) All air conditioning is through window units. House has a musty smell. Upstairs bathroom was especially hot and uncomfortable. There is mold growing due to the humidity in the room. 6) Store on property was only open one day during trip for a few hours. It would have been nice to access more. 7) WiFi was horrible. 8) If you are a Verizon cell phone user, you will have no cell phone service for about a 30 - 40 mile radius of this property and you will not be able to rely on the WiFi at the property. I was disappointed. We definitely overpaid. The friends who stayed with us were astounded by the rent and showed me much cheaper options available on waterfront. We will be smarter next time and will not be staying there again.

Great location
Great spot near Garner State Park and Lost Maples. Nearby town in case you need anything. Our only issue was the water would get extremely hot even when only the cold faucet was turned. Turned out to not be too big of a deal but in summer heat this could of been a bigger problem. Other than that it was a great stay and would recommend!

Nice getaway
We really enjoyed our stay at Whiskey Mountain! Watching hummingbirds from the porch in the mornings, making s’mores in the fire pit at night, and being able to do it with the entire family (17 people) under one roof made for great memories! Only very small issue was that there is only 1 shower. But overall a great stay! Thanks!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay there on the property. It was such a cozy home with plenty of space for all of us. We especially enjoyed the outside areas to just sit, talk and relax. The only things I would recommend would be to focus on the cleanliness of the kitchen and bathroom areas. We would definitely love to come back and I would recommend anyone to stay there. Thank you for your hospitality.

Loved it!!!
We enjoyed our stay! I must say this home was perfect for our big family. Everyone enjoyed the front and backyards. From making s’mores in the back pit to sitting in the front yard on the rocking chairs and the tree swings. Only thing I would suggest is for the owner to install a second full shower in the restroom downstairs. Other than that we enjoyed this cozy home. The river was less than a 15 minute drive away.

Whiskey Review
Whiskey Cabin was absolutely darling. We were a party of 5, and the house could sleep SO much more! Backyard was like an oasis. The front porch was fabulous in the morning for sunrise and evening sunsets. The adult swing was by far the most fun had by all. Very peaceful place to relax after a long day on the river. The location is fabulous. You are 3 miles from all the major parks, stores and tubing areas. We look forward to another stay at Whiskey Cabin.

Whiskey Mountain Holiday
Our stay at the Whiskey Mountain cabin over Christmas 2018 was everything we had hoped for. The house was large enough to handle the multiple family members who came and went. Aside from a brief plumbing incident, our entire 8 days was excellent. The house is in good shape, and the property is beautiful. The owners were very responsive. We hope to do this again in the future.
