SAN MARCOS, Texas
We are right on the beautiful San Marcos River in downtown San Marcos, and have a lovely view of the river and grounds. Only a couple of blocks to a world class kayaking area at Rio Vista Falls. This is a birders paradise. On a daily basis we see many different species, so bring your binoculars, and camera.
We are also close to several great restaurants. Our home is on the property, so we will be available to help with any of your needs.
This is a wonderful getaway and know that you will love it.
So close to All of the Austin Venues, and Formula 1!
It is also a beautiful venue for weddings, graduation parties, or any other outdoor activities that you need extra space. We also have access to catering services.
This is an upstairs apartment, with a circular staircase, and may not be suitable for persons with physical limitations.
Our second time staying at this beautiful place with wonderful hosts
Great location. Very clean and comfortable.
I have MS and found the steep iron spiral staircase challenging.
We have stayed here multiple times. We were pleased with the addition of a full size refrigerator & range. I was able to cook in the room. The river was low at the property (which Barbara warned me about prior to our arrival). But we were still able to float the main part of the river and it was very enjoyable. Very clean & comfortable as always and wonderful hosts.
It took longer than I would have liked for it to cool down in there upon arrival. It was 78 and hot. We never saw the table by the water but it was a nice stay.
House was beautifully crafted and decorated with great style. The house was clean, conveniently located, and the perfect size for 2 people! We had access to everything we needed to prepare meals, shower and get a good nights rest. The homeowners are charming and so kind. We will be back for sure! It was the perfect getaway. Thank you to our gracious hosts!
Had an amazing time. Owners are super responsive and nice. Beautiful place, we took an adult kid free vaca here and loved every minute. Location, location, location. This is so ideal, you are literally in the middle of everything you want to do in San Marcos. We spent every morning on the deck reading by the water= so peaceful, and went exploring each afternoon and evening and had such a great time. We will be back!! Highly recommend this spot.
Nice place with great deck on secluded river branch. Second time here - came to visit our TX State student.
It was a very smooth experience. The spot is cozy and close enough to everything. We were met by Jerry when we pulled up. The winding stairs made it a little difficult for carrying luggage, but luckily we didn’t have much. I love the tiles and decor. Other than the birds chirping in the morning, I found it to be quieter than expected. It was a nice visit.
Barbara's place was perfect for us. Access to the river for kayaking and sight seeing was a bonus. Very comfortable and convenient location.
This is close to everything. Very charming place to stay
The hosts are super friendly, welcoming, and very hospitable and accommodating! The property is walking distance from organized kayaking and tubing and right on the river if you want to go on your own! Love the spiral staircase and it was extremely clean and cozy with very thoughtful welcoming touches. Highly recommend!
The pictures don’t do it justice! The apartment is spacious, with comfortable furnishings and a great little kitchen. I chose this listing for family visiting San Marcos for the first time in 15 years and I was so pleased - it exceeded my expectations. The neighborhood is quiet and convenient to get to. The dock was larger than I expected and such a great place to enjoy breakfast and bird/turtle watch. The river was low when we visited so we didn’t try kayaking from the dock, but the setup for it looked easy to use. The spiral staircase would be difficult to navigate for anyone with mobility issues but it felt sturdy and safe for all of us. The motion light at the bottom was smart! I was even impressed with the parking setup. It was really a wonderful experience overall. I’d love to visit again.
We had a wonderful stay here. Very clean, comfortable, & quiet unit, and perfectly decorated. This place is great for a couple looking for a tranquil getaway. The bed was so comfortable. The hosts are the absolute sweetest people, the kind you feel like you’ve known for years. There’s a large deck on the river a short stroll from the unit where we enjoyed evening wine and morning coffee. Kayaks, paddles, and life jackets were available for our use. Dropped them right into the river and had a blast. The house is located on a creek loop right off the main San Marcos River, preserving a sense of solitude. The tube rental place was only a 9 min walk. Make sure to kayak up to the Kerbey Lane cafe area for a pretty waterfall and swimming hole. Get tacos at Herbert’s, and bbq at Black’s or Hay’s County BBQ. Thank you, Barbara & Jerry for your hospitality. We look forward to our next stay here. -Cassandra and Frank
Perfectly situated for relaxation and access. Lovely studio with second story balcony, comfortable bed and full kitchen. Barbara was a truly delightful host!
We were in San Marcos to help our college kid move apartments and did not want to stay at a chain hotel. This was perfect. Nice deck on a branch of the river. Friendly hosts. Kayaks available but we ran out of time. If we need to stay overnight in San Marcos again, this is where we will go.
My daughter and I were in San Marcus for a few days for a tour of TXST and the TXST Volleyball Camp. This little efficiency apartment was perfect for us! Clean with all the comforts of home. We felt safe 24/7, and it is a quite neighborhood…even though you’re near everything. It is literally a 3 min drive to the TXST campus/Strahan Arena. The owners were fantastic and responsive when we had a question. The fact that they are on property was definitely a plus for us. If TXST happens to be where my girl lands, I will become a regular at this property.
Our stay was fantastic! The property and hosts were amazing! The vicinity to the river and local restaurants would be hard to beat! The dock by the river was a relaxing oasis with nice privacy from the main part of the river. The guest house/apartment was well furnished and spotless. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to come back!
I had a wonderful relaxing long weekend on the river. Quite comfortable with easy river access. Spent my weekend kayaking and enjoying the wonderful riverside deck. Enjoyed all the wildlife. Our Host was present and most accommodating! I would go back here!
This was a great location near the San Marcos River and within walking distance of swimming areas and downtown. We were also easily able to charge our car overnight from a 110v outlet accessible from the parking area.
Over garage apartment next to property managers house. The deck next to the river was very nice. You aren’t on the main river it’s an offshoot. The unit had good window coverings. Things that could improve - a more comfortable king bed would be a nice addition.
We enjoyed the comfortable space to read and relax. The small counter kitchen and bathroom were adequate and well furnished. Bed and pillows and coverings were perfect for us. The best thing about the place is the riverside deck and kayaks. Reading and painting or doing yoga by the river was the perfect retreat recharge. . Absolutely serene.
