About this property
The Lookout - A Hill Country Cottage
Welcome to Mosaic! A collection of boutique cabins nestled in the heart of the Hill Country. With all of this peace and quiet it's hard to believe you're just 12 minutes from Texas State University, downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos River. We hope the blanket of stars at night and the stillness of the Hill Country leaves you feeling rejuvenated and content.
The lookout has been updated! We just installed a vintage clawfoot tub with w/ a shower head attachment.
We are tucked away in the Hill Country, surrounded by dense forest and a blanket of stars at night. These boutique stays are perfect for anyone who wants all the privacy of the outdoors coupled with the convenience of being close to town.

About the host
Your host
Three years ago, we embarked on a journey to create a place where everyone is welcome regardless of the shape of the road that led you or the destination that lies ahead. The work of staying the course has rarely been easy but it has always been good.
As a family we strive to keep Love at the very center of our life, love for ourselves, each other and for those we have been given the privilege to care for- for however long that may be. Our hope is that we may share a small piece of the home we have found in each other, with you.
