About this property

Riverfront Estate - 3 Houses - Pool + Hot Tub + Gym - Sleeps 24

The riverfront estate groups come back to.

Three separate houses on one private property — main house + 2 casitas — so your whole crew stays together without being on top of each other. Pool, hot tub, gym, playground, fire pit, and spring-fed San Marcos River views from the backyard. Built for family reunions, wedding weekends, wellness retreats, and milestone celebrations. 9+ year Superhost. Sleeps 24.

THREE HOUSES. ONE ESTATE. YOUR WHOLE GROUP — TOGETHER.
Most large-group rentals cram everyone into one house. This estate gives your group something rare: three separate homes on one private riverfront property — so everyone stays together without being on top of each other.

The main house is the hub — four bedrooms, three bathrooms, a full kitchen, and an open living and dining area where the whole group gathers for meals, games, and late-night conversations. The River Casita and Road Casita each offer private sleeping quarters with their own bathrooms, giving couples or families their own space to retreat to when they need it.

SLEEPING & LAYOUT

-Main house: 3 king beds + queen/queen bunk bed (sleeps 10)
-River Casita: full bunk beds + private bathroom + mini-fridge (sleeps 4)
-Road Casita: king/queen bunk + queen/queen bunk + trundle bed (sleeps 10)
Total: comfortably sleeps 24 (28 with air mattresses)

Had a great Thanksgiving break with our families - house is off the beaten path right on the river. Lot of room, separate bunk house is pretty cool and we used the outdoor seating at the table and the hot tub quite a bit (too cold to use pool). Jesse is very, very responsive. We have a college age child living in San Marcos so definitely plan to return here for family gatherings.

Fantastic Family Gathering

We had our entire family gather here for a long 4 day weekend - 12 adults, 4 kiddos and 1 infant!There was more than enough sleeping space and the 2 separate casitas were great for those that wanted a little more seclusion! The property is beautiful and very rustic and our kiddos had a blast! We floated the river 2 days and got to all go and watch Pawpaw play in a Sr Softball tournament! We cooked all of our meals together and had everything we needed!Fun family memories that will last a lifetime!! We would highly recommend this property for large groups and multiple families wanting to gather together in one fun place!

About the host

Hosted by Jesse O'Brien

Host profile image
My wife, Amanda, and I are from Austin. We love spending time on the water with our three kids, River, Finn, and Brooke.

Why they chose this property

In 2012, I competed in the Texas Water Safari and fell in love with the San Marcos River. Ever since then, I have become obsessed with the Upper San Marcos River. Our family has always dreamed of enjoying a house on the river.

What makes this property unique

Very few properties on the Upper San Marcos River offer short-term rentals. Even fewer have a pool and hot tub, and can accommodate up to 22 guests (26 with air mattresses).
