It Was So Nice... We Stayed Twice

I found this house when searching for a place to host our annual employee conference/retreat. It looked perfect, AND IT WAS!!!! There were to be 10 ladies in attendance and my main concern was for everyone to have thier own bed.I emailed the owner who quickly responded that there were 13 separate beds available to us. I was thrilled that we could all stay under one roof! So in November 2011 our group stayed at the home. It was wonderful, or so I am told....because at the last minute, I was unable to attend the conference. However, when everyone returned to work, that is all they talked about.. how great the house was, and how I had missed out... so there wasn't even a question as to where our 2012 conference/retreat was to be held. We once again rented the home in October 2012 and it was everything they told me it was... and more. It was great. Very spacious, clean, charming, and close to good food, LOTS of GOOD SHOPPING, yet so close to wildlife. We saw deer in the field beside the driveway. Something for everyone. We did manage to squeeze "some" work into the weekend. Thank you for sharing your villa with us.Recommended for: Sightseeing, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

I rented the house for a group of 10 ladies celebrating for a bachelorette party. We could not believe how big the house was and how many beds it held! Sitting on the porch at night was one of our favorites of the trip! Being out in the country, it was incredibly peaceful. About 10 minutes from city, we were able to get to the river and the square fairly quickly. We were thankful to be able to find a house that held so many of us, but never felt too cramped. Definitely would stay here again for another San Marcos trip.Recommended for: Age 55+, families with young children, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We rented this house for a group of 20 girls. The house was ample enough that everyone had a place to sleep and there were some beds left over. Very convenient location, we forgot a couple of things, but the grocery store was less than 10 minutes away! We had dinner in the downtown San Marcos area and it was just 15 minutes to the restaurant. Tubing in the San Marcos river was also only about 15 minutes away. The owner was extremely helpful and answered all of our questions promptly. He was extremely accommodating of our needs. The kitchen was spacious enough to allow for cooking for such a large group as ours. Everything we needed was there, kitchenware, cutlery, etc. Everything was extremely clean. My group has rented a lot of houses in the Hill Country area in the past, and it is safe to say none of them compare to this one. Will definitely keep it in mind for next time we are in San Marcos! In summary, beautiful house, great location and a helpful owner!Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

We had a group of 18 people for an engagement party and could not have found a better place. There were enough beds for everyone and so much space that we felt like we could have had twice as many people! So many places to hang out, both inside and out, that are all amazing. Quiet nights with stars, lots of land to explore, and only about 15 minutes away from town - a great base for summer toobin. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a hill country retreat.Recommended for: Families with young children, sightseeing, adventure seekers, families with teenagers.

This is the perfect house for a family get a way. We really enjoyed the morning views while sipping our coffee. the kids had plenty of safe room to run. The house was very warm and user friendly.My husband found the golf green to be a favorite. We have planed a family reunion for next year at the Villi. Thanks for a perfect house that fit our needs.Recommended for: Romantic getaway, pet owners, families with young children, sightseeing, families with teenagers, girls getaway.

This was the one of the nastiest places I have ever seen. Moldy showers, bugs cobwebbed into window sills, used bath soap, broken beer/wine bottles in the yard, abandoned washing machine on back porch, old gauze bandage in refrigerator, etc. We cleaned for 3 hours in the kitchen and master bedroom. Pictures can't begin to describe what a filthy disappointment. The owner said my "expectations were too high". I know now why the payment had to be in the form of a casher's check.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 6/7

Brad and his friends booked the property to hang out, play golf and cook up some bbq. As i was showing him the property he stated that the web site photos don't do justice to what the property actually looks like ( Sweet was his exact comment!!). He was really impressed and was the second straight vacation renter to state that they would be returning next year to stay.Did you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/1

About the owner: We lived in this home previously and really enjoyed it. However we have moved back to our house in Austin and now get to share this amazing place with vacation renters such as yourself! When it's not occupied we love to go there and relax. Even though it's only 30 min. to Austin it truly feels like a get away and a vacation while you are there. We have 5 children and founded a foster care and adoption agency, Familylinkkids.com. Caring for abused and neglected children is our life's purpose and passion!
Why the Owner Chose San Marcos:
We wanted a home on acreage that was very peaceful and felt like an oasis in the middle of our hectic lives. However, we didn't want to be isolated or drive a long way to get there! We were so happy when we found Legacy Ranch since it met our requirements and so much more. Our kids say it feels like a castle and it does! However it is only a few minutes from great shopping, bookstores, Outlet Malls, Restaurants, the San Marcos and Guadalupe Rivers, etc. Also San Marcos and New Braunfels are really neat smaller towns so we always check out what is going on when we want to visit. Of course Austin and San Antonio are both incredible larger cities, and you are about 30 min from Austin and an hour to N. San Antonio so whether you want a day of sight seeing and cultural activities to just want to stay at Legacy Ranch, BBQ etc. it's easy to do it all.
The Unique Benefits at this House:
My husband and I love sitting on the front porch swing and seeing the incredible views, as well as the night time sky where the stars are bright! The kids love exploring the house and property, and always like seeing the neighbor horses. They built a cool tree house(with an engineer friend's help) and they are always discovering new things since there are 10 acres to explore. There is a huge field that is great for soccer, volleyball, football, etc. There are also huge trees surrounding it for great shade for all of the onlookers and great for picnics too! We all enjoy the huge kitchen and dining since we love to cook when we're all together. The game-room is a great place to hang out, play pool and other games and watch movies, etc.
