About this property

Large and Cozy Home Near River and Downtown

My place is close to The River, grocery store, restaurants, and nightlife. You’ll love my place because of the yard, picnic tables, full bar, and privacy.

My home is great for groups large and small looking to explore the Austin/San Marcos surrounding area. Not only is my place situated in a convenient part of town (just 1 mile from the River,) the town itself is just 30 minutes from Austin, 40 minutes from San Antonio, and a short drive to some of the best spots in the Texas Hill Country.

The space:
Great corner lot home in San Marcos in a peaceful neighborhood. We are about a 15 minute walk to the river or a 2 minute drive. Close to downtown with lots of great bars and restaurants.

The outdoor space includes one large picnic table, a cabana, a privacy fence, and good lighting for outdoor events.

We have the fasted wireless internet available in the city. ( 800mbps )

We have a large living/game room with sectional couch, and handmade bar. (we do not provide any alcohol) We do have a working kegerator for guests 21+ that can be set up during your stay for an additional fee.

The master bedroom has an attached laundry room with a washer and dryer.

Guest access:
Guests will have access to the entire house and yard.

There is a detached guest house/office and garage behind the main house that you will not have access to.

Other things to note:
If you need recommendations on anything please ask. I have lived in the area for over 10 years and know all the good spots.
Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

Perfect accommodations for our overnight stay

Perfect location and size of house for a quick, overnight stay. Our schedule allowed for only one night in San Marcos, and our host could not have been more accommodating. Very responsive communication received from host and flexible with check-in time. I would stay at this house again and recommend renting this home. It easily fit our party of 9 people and the yard was the perfect size for our dog. Highly recommend!

Great location. Comfortable house.

Nice roomy house, large enough for our family of 8. We accidentally locked ourselves out & the host arrived in 5 minutes to let us in. Two minor problems- the heating element was put on the dryer & there was a drain smell ( slight) in the kitchen. The host responded promptly and said that he would get them fixed ASAP. 5 minutes to the river, shopping , and restaurants. 15 minutes to outlet mall. Overall, enjoyed the stay.

Nice until night

Everything was clean looking at first. We found two dead roaches & thought good, they’re dead, so they have sprayed. Nice size house for us, it was plenty of space. We enjoyed the game room that seemed to have been converted from the garage. There was a large table that we enjoyed using to play games on. However when we went to bake, there wasn’t a real oven so we had to use the air fryer. It looks like it is a bachelor pad. The paint needs to be refreshed. The bar is set up to be able to put a pony leg on it, which was cool! When I texted the owner if the hot tub was in working order, he responded right away that unfortunately it wasn’t. The dishes, cups & flatware were ample. There weren’t very many towels and the two washcloths we found didn’t look clean and had long hairs on them. The linen closet was not very organized, towels just stuffed in it. We left for the day and when we got back we saw a few LIVE cockroaches and continued to find them throughout the night. We counted 16, I believe!! It grossed the girls out and they didn’t feel comfortable sleeping, even with the lights on. I tried contacting the owner about it and he didn’t respond. I was very disappointed and embarrassed as I had set this up for our family girls trip this year.
