The Palmer's Guest House - The Great Getaway in Central San Marcos

We loved the little cottage! There is a little area to set out back and enjoy an adult beverage or read a book. We also enjoyed dinner next door at Palmer’s restaurant.

Great guesthouse to stay at. Clean and comfortable. Host was great with communication and information. Right next to Palmers which is a great restaurant and bar , and within walking distance the downtown area. Everything was excellent and we would definitely stay here again .

It was great and the staff was wonderful. Thank you! :)Dustin

Great place! Cute and central to everything TXST. We came in for a campus tour and it was perfect!

The place itself is charming, but there’s very little privacy. It’s attached to the restaurant office, so staff were constantly going in and out of the gate, and one morning I woke up to someone watering plants right outside my bedroom window. The location is in a busy area, not quiet, but it is convenient — within walking distance to bars and restaurants. Great if you want to be in the middle of everything, not so great if you’re looking for peace and privacy.

Great location and wonderful guesthouse. We truly enjoyed our stay. The location doesn’t get much better, neither does the hospitality. We can’t wait for our next stay. Highly recommended!

Incredible location, impeccably clean, beautifully decorated, fantastic hosts, who have the best restaurant in town and give a you a dinning credit and a bottle of wine.

This was a quick overnight to enjoy my university town with my best friend, whom I met there almost 30 years ago! I had no idea this place existed behind Palmer’s! It was a great spot to walk around. Coffee and breakfast location just a short walk away, and the place itself was cozy and private.

Fabulous STAY perfect location will be back!

Great little house! Close to everything and was stocked well with towels and extra little things. The bed was super comfortable! We would definitely stay again!

Cute cottage and host was super responsive! Stayed cool inside during the summer heat and loved that it was walking distance to shops and restaurants!

This is the only place we stay. Love it!

Myself, husband, and 18 year old daughter were in town for TXST new student orientation. The home was neat and tidy. It’s best for two but we only needed the couch bed for one night as our daughter only stayed with us the night before orientation started.Location is super close to campus. You could walk if you don’t mind walking up a very steep hill. The welcome gift of wine and a 30 gift certificate to the Palmer Restaurant was much appreciated. (Side note the home is next to the restaurant which I highly recommend). I would most definitely stay here again!

Cozy little place, nicely decorated, and Kristin communicated with us promptly, very nice. We did have an issue with gnats the whole visit but other than that we enjoyed ourselves. Thanks Kristin

We really enjoyed the guest house and it's location! Palmer's Restaurant was a great spot to eat, but there are many other good choices within walking distance.The private covered parking area was a big bonus.

This question cottage if tucked away in the heart of San Marcos. Walking distance to the square and other enjoyable place me well definitely be back

Clean and cozy

Everything was just as promised. It was so lovely, spotless & the hosts were quick with communication! Can't recommend this property enough!

You know things are good when you never have to talk to the property manager. All was ready upon our arrival. The dinner at the restaurant was so a nice touch. Beautiful, food was amazing and great atmosphere. Great place for a mother-daughter get away

Beautiful cottage and super close to TXST. Owner was easy to reach for questions. Had trouble watching regular tv channels but otherwise very nice.

My husband and I stay here every time we visit San Marcos. Kristin is awesome to work with and the food at Palmer’s (their restaurant) literally next door is always delicious. My fave space is the tiny, private patio out back. Perfect for coffee in the morning and wine sipping in the evening. Very clean and comfortable with a Hill Country vibe.

The Palmer’s guest house was perfect for our anniversary celebration. We ate at Palmer’s restaurant, excelllent food and drinks. I am picky and give the restaurant A plus! They were so kind to us and acknowledge our anniversary. We were walking distance from the square so didn’t have to uber which was perfect. The guest house was cozy and perfect size for a couple. Communication was best I have ever had. The bathroom is small maybe in need of few shelves for belongings but that is all. Everything else was fantastic!

We visited San Marcos to see our new grandson. Because of the facility we enjoyed our stay very much. The rooms were clean and cozy and equipped with everything you need.

Great stay! Lots of charm at this cottage style place. Better for 2 people. We had 4 in our party and it was just a little small for us. But overall, amazing place to stay. Palmer’s Restaurant had exceptional food with great service.

Cute cottage

Loved it

Had a wedding to attend in Wimberley and decided to stay in San Marcos. The location of the guest house was perfect. My fiancé and I both lived in San Marcos years ago so it was nice to come back and venture around the square. Definitely would recommend this property and will for sure be back!

My daughter stayed here while in the “flex” period for apartments. The unit was exactly like the photos - but better! There were little extras (coffeemaker, fridge, surprisingly roomy closet). The unit was exceptionally clean, and the outdoor patio was the perfect bonus. The owner was incredibly friendly, helpful, and responsive, and answered all questions quickly. I am so glad we found this place, and will definitely be coming back to stay when we visit San Marcos.
