Quiet country house on the San Marcos River

What we liked: -quiet and away from the city -green location, lots of trees, and right on the river -the "pebble beach" on the river -privacy -history and nature for teenagers to explore -close driving distance to San Marcos if needed/wanted -house full of interesting books -lively friendly hostess -big beds -washer and dryer -back porch (listening to the river and bird watching) -2 bathrooms -tidy house, bathrooms, towels and linens -antique and vintage furniture in the house gave the house character What could have been better: -we like to cook, and the kitchen supplies/cookware/serving-ware could use an inventory and update -the insides of the kitchen drawers and cabinets could use a deep cleaning -the kitchen needs some bug baits -back porch furniture needs an update Over-all a good experience - we would stay here again

Nice but need attention to detail

No smoke alarms No CO detector No air in bathrooms Mold under sinks Bedroom closets full of stuff Doors need to be able to open shut easily Kitchen drawers mostly broken off track Return air vent filthy Bathtubs floors need mats slippery Walk in shower needs handicap railing Care taker walks around and kinda weird 1/4 bottles of soap and 1 ply tp Owners super nice but they need a handyman to fix place up and make more presentable and worth the cost they charge and advertise

Relaxing weekend

We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The town was amazing! It provides great food at Martindale River Cafe, live music, and friendly community members. We loved the back porch on this property and private section of the river. The groundskeeper made sure we were safe, and the owners were so nice. Don’t skip on this one! It was perfect!

Recharge weekend

Blown away by the hospitality and cuteness of this property. Just a minute walk to wonderful food, live music, and access to the San Marcos River. We had a wonderful time here, and most certainly will be back.
