Guestbook comments from the owner
Wonderful guest house.
We slept very well and felt comfortable with its cozy feel.
Added bonus was the great dining experience we had at Palmer's.
Plan on returning when I visit the area in May.

Wonderful!

Great place and great location!! The restaurant is amazing also.
I will stay here every time I come to town if it's available.
Love, love, love this place! My second time to visit and can't wait to go back!!
My daughter and I arrived to find the Palmers guest house clean and neat and thouroughly enjoyed our two nights and three days in San Marcos. We walked everywhere as the guest house is located less than 10 minute drive and easy comfortable walk to everything we did!!
Such a great time!
This property is absolutely beautiful, tucked away in San Marcos. Located right where you want to be! Walking distance from everything you may need. We also had dinner at the Palmers restaurant- YUM!
Comfy rental in a stellar location and a great property owner
This rental is super comfortable and close to everything in San Marcos. Everything went smoothly and the property owner was super easy to work with!
Loved our stay!
Excellent location, loved the cute additions they left us (wine, coffee, shampoo/conditioner, nice towels, nice robe, very comfortable bed!), and overall would highly recommend this. Easy to find. Perfect for a couple wanting a getaway!
The property was beautiful, charming, and safe. The furnishings were so nice and comfortable.
The Palmers guest house was less than 10 minutes away from every thing my son and I had planned on participating in. The Restauraunt and staff were so accommodating and the bed was the best. The place is perfect for two people with a private car port and little sitting area in the back. Very comfortable, centrally located and it was hard for my son and I to say good bye!! We shall return! Thank you!
