This was a fantastic place to stay. The host answered all questions promptly! The amenities were top notch and a perfect space for our family gathering. The pool table, fuss ball table, piano and other games kept everyone entertained! The house is located in a convenient spot to the Texas State Campus and downtown area.
Great location! I loved how things were labeled throughout the home for ease of location and information. We loved all the amenities offered like the pool table, foosball, and games.
The home was large, spacious and kept very clean. The pool table and foosball table kept us entertained at night! Neighborhood is nice and very quiet which is a plus!
Loved staying here for a wedding weekend. Very clean and accommodating. All the details have been thought through. Will stay here next time we are in the area.
Brought the family down for a few days to attend a show at Gruene Hall. The house was spacious, clean, and had a great backyard for our dogs. Great communication with owners who ensured we had an enjoyable stay. Would definitely stay again!
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!
I booked this pet friendly home for my family while traveling during the Christmas Holidays. Everything was as advertised and the hosts were prompt and concise with all of their correspondence. A nice convenient location in a quiet neighborhood.
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!
It was nice, it served its purpose. Beds were comfy pool table and fooseball were a big hit. It was pretty expensive though. Other than that it was nice.
Very comfortable clean modern home in a nice subdivision. Owners were extremely responsive. Kids loved the table football game. Mom loved the patio where you can see deer early in the morning.
Very great, the house smelled amazing when we walked in. Very clean and stocked with everything we needed. Great location. Private spacious back yard with covered patio and plenty of chairs. Would recommend definitely to friends and family. The owner was very nice and answered all my questions promptly. A 10 out of 10 stay!
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.
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.
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.
Stayed 4 nights in Feb 2024

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.
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.
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!
