Fabulous place - Owner did everything to make our stay perfect!

Family of 5 for a quick 1 night stay due to ODP Soccer, was a last minute booking that turned out to be fantastic. Love the pool table, love the piano. Everything was clean and in order. Wish we could have stayed longer!

Wonderful home with great fenced backyard for dogs

We are from San Antonio and our friends were from Austin so it was a perfect vacation home located midway between. Our dogs loved the fenced backyard and the pool table gave us something fun to do between watching March Madness games. Will definitely stay again!

Absolute perfection

We are all perfectly comfortable at our weekend away. There was exceptional communication from start to finish. The kitchen had all the pots and pans for our family meals. Beds were comfy, water was hot with good pressure. We could find things easily and we had a lot of fun playing pool and foosball. It was an ideal setup for entertaining . I mean perfect. I do recommend this accommodation.

A great place for a family reunion

Our group consisted of three 70+ old family members, two 30+ men and a young man just turned 18. Everyone enjoyed the pool table, foos ball and piano. The open living/dining/kitchen area are great for family gatherings. The backyard was perfect for the dog and the back porch has plenty of comfortable seating. It is a beautiful location with a greenway, private and quiet in a nice subdivision. The house was very clean and comfortable, nicely decorated for Christmas, and the owners were very nice and easy to reach. The kitchen is well equipped. I highly recommend this property and the owners.

Awesome Place!!

The house was excellent and very clean. The beds were great. We had a wonderful experience even though we basically just slept there. My wife and I are very clean and neat people and I am always skeptical about homes. However, Tom and Carmen have a great house, very clean, neat, checkin process was excellent and the information provided was superbub. We would definelty stay again. My inlaws and parent stayed with us and they went on and on about the house. Thanks Carmen and Tom. We appreciate everything.

Be aware that there are cameras everywhere. I understand having a door camera. but we felt very intruded upon. No closet space to hang your clothes.

Yes, as guests state in our numerous 5 star reviews, the house is very nice. Thank you. Being in a college town, we have security on outside the house. This is for the safety of our guests. All 4 bedrooms have clothes racks or clothes closets.

Peaceful Retreat

We found the perfect escape for our family when visiting San Marcos. This quiet, homey place was ideal for relaxing after spending time with our daughter who attends Texas State. The house was clean and inviting, and the peaceful atmosphere was incredible. We couldn't believe how serene it was, especially being so close to town. An added bonus was bringing our two furry companions! We loved not having to worry about a pet sitter and the dogs had a blast exploring the yard and chasing squirrels. There was even a nice trail right behind the house for evening walks. Everything about this place was fantastic! From the pool table for family fun to the excellent communication with the hosts (always quick and friendly!), our stay couldn't have been better. We truly can't recommend this place enough.

Great place to stay for Formula 1

We wanted a place to stay near the Formula 1 Grand Prix in Austin with our grown boys, and this house was great. It is close to both San Antonio and Austin, so we also got to spend a wonderful day sightseeing in San Antonio. The house was super clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. The bed in the master bedroom had a great mattress - super comfortable! Everything was meticulously labeled, so it was easy to find our way around the kitchen. The pool table and foosball made sure we were entertained when we were not out sightseeing. The hosts, Carmen and Tom, were super friendly and were so fast to respond to any question, as well as giving us lots of tips on how to get the most out of our Formula 1 experience. They made us feel like we were old friends. Thank you for a wonderful stay in San Marcos!
