Welcome to your new favorite retreat on the Frio River!
This phenomenal, spacious 3,600 sqft home has everything you need to have the best vacation on the river, and feel right at home.

This home features 5 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and 2 half-baths; it now sleeps 33 people! The great room is stunning, fully-furnished with inspiration from King Ranch, giant 5" thick native Pecan counter tops (which are handmade by the owner) and a fully-stocked kitchen and bar area.

The kitchen has 2 full-sized refrigerator/freezers, a commercial gas oven/stove combo, large walk-in pantry, plenty of cabinetry/storage space and all the utensils, kitchenware and dishes you need.

You will be blown away by this tree haus. Not only do you have everything inside the home, but outside you have your own HUGE covered porch, an 18’ jetted cool spa, and a NEW 6 person Hot Tub........!! and an outdoor kitchen space! Porter's features its own grand porch looking directly at the Frio River! The porch is equipped with a huge outdoor fireplace, plenty of couches/seating, 3 large dining tables—and don’t forget— a 18’ jetted cool whirlpool spa overlooking a beautiful view!

We allow you to park right on the river's edge with your vehicle for tailgating and watching the thousands of folks float right past our private riverfront shore.
Guests love our private river access! This keeps you out of the hustle and bustle of River Road, and only 200' away from your room!
One of our great features here at VacationFrioRiver is that we offer a complimentary tube shuttle service in our fully air-conditioned modified airport shuttle bus!
We will gladly drop your party off at Seven Bluffs Crossing for a 2-3 hour float that ends Right At Our Private Riverfront! You'll be back in time for lunch!

[During the months of October-April, the cool whirlpool spa for this home is not in service, however we offer a grand 14x23’ pool with water feature, shared by guests in the off-season only. From Memorial Day-Labor Day (peak season), the 18’ cool whirlpool spa is in service, for private use by guests of Porter’s Tree Haus and the 14x23’ pool becomes exclusive to guests of another one of our luxurious homes, Haggville Hacienda.]

We offer Smart TVs and high-speed fiber internet in all of our homes!

End of Summer Trip

Porter's Tree Haus is a Fantastic Place to Stay. The house has everything you need to cook your Family's Meals in and there is also a 2 drawer Dishwasher ( I don't like to wash dishes). The house is big enough to have a small Family Reunion at, lots of outdoor and indoor seating and Lots of beds to accommodate everyone. Just a very short walk to the river but you can drive and park at the river for the day. Donny is an extremely nice and helpful Host, We will stay at one of his places again!

Slice of heaven on the Frio

Second year for us to stay at this property and it was just as fantastic as we remembered it. Incredible 5 star house with the best access to the river around. Our host ahead went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. We will definitely try and go again next year!

Great place for large groups

We had a blast. Place had plenty of privacy despite being close to other units. Golf course was decent. The only thing I would change is the time of year we went. It was incredibly hot and the river was low in late August.

Great Property

We spent New Year's weekend with a group of friends @ the property. The house was great with multiple gathering areas, fire places, and the outside covered area was fantastic. Very close to the river, and with its own private access. Donny is a great host who addressed any questions or comments we had immediately. We will certainly go back again.

Pictures don’t do justice to the Treehaus

This property is so beautiful. The outside areas were so nice for relaxing and conversations. The private section of river is perfect for playing in. Donny is super responsive. The upstairs seems to stay a little warmer than the downstairs area, there’s even free laundry machines on site. We loved it so much we stayed an extra night. We will be back! Lovely place

Excellent Property

We had a wonderful time here! Love how close it is to the water and that the owners are on site and taking care of everything themselves instead of a management company. Donny and Sid were great hosts. They were very patient with us and our parking fiasco. Sid can also do some pretty cool card tricks if you ask! Thank you for letting us stay on your beautiful property!

Excellent Vacation Home

My family of 10 adults and 9 kids spent four nights/five days at Porter's Tree Haus and it was perfect, the home is beautiful, clean and a short walk to the river. The outdoor area/kitchen is amazing, and it is where we spent most of our time, so much room and the small pool was great for the kids after spending all day in the river. Bedrooms were comfortable and the AC in the house worked great. Kitchen cookware and utensils were abundant. Being able to drive a truck to the river for tailgating was also a plus, we put up our canopy and never worried about anyone bothering out things. We cooked every meal at the house because no need to go out when you have the indoor and outdoor kitchen as you do in this home. We booked our stay for next year already because it just doesn't get any better than.

About the host

Hosted by Donny Haggerton Jr.

Host profile image
I was born and raised in Kingsville, Texas. After 35 successful years in the Dry Cleaning/Laundry business, I retired and built 2 homes and 7 suites on the same land my mother and father purchased in 1960. Now, the property layout includes 4 spacious, private homes. I spend my summers entertaining and hosting families on the beautiful Frio River. My parents always loved having groups of friends and family enjoy this land for all of my life. Now I get to carry on their dream and help give families an unforgettable vacation experience in this stunning Texas getaway!

Why they chose this property

This property has been in my family estate and owned since 1960. It is one of the last properties on the Frio River with unchanged, undeveloped private riverfront which I enjoyed growing up in the 60's!
My unique architectural style and decorating flair makes my properties breathtakingly elegant, yet cozy with all the amenities of home.
I will be on premises to check your party in, and to see that families get the most fun out of their vacation. Need help? I'm just a call away!

What makes this property unique

One of our great features here at VacationFrioRiver.com is that we offer a complimentary tube shuttle service in our fully air-conditioned modified airport shuttle bus!
We will gladly drop your party off at Seven Bluffs Crossing for a 2-3 hour float that-guess what- ends up right on our Private Riverfront shoreline!
