This place was amazing!! Having the three cabins was perfect and each one was clean and nicely decorated. We had a great weekend with family and friends and will definitely be back. The owners were so easy to work with and responded so quickly to any question we had. They were very accommodating!

We had a wonderful family week here with ten people, playing games, grilling, and sitting on the deck and by the fire pit! We will come again! Perfect place to get away and relax overlooking the river.

Our stay on the San Marcos River was truly exceptional. From the very beginning, communication with the property owner was clear, timely, and incredibly helpful, which made the entire experience smooth and stress-free.They graciously allowed us to hold a celebration of life for my mother on the property, which meant more to our family than words can express. The setting was peaceful, beautiful, and provided the perfect space for us to come together and honor her memory.The home itself had plenty of room both inside and out, making it ideal for gathering with family and friends. It was clear the owners put a lot of thought into every detail—everything we needed was already there.We highly recommend this property and will absolutely be returning in the future.

Nice enough place and props to the hosts for letting us check in early. Outlets and lamps next to bed in master BR didn’t work. Spent time on call w owner, flipping breakers. When none of that worked, he mentioned something about an electrician friend maybe coming by. That never happened. One set of stairs to river marked off for no use. Other set had at least one treacherous step, could use some upkeep. Decent place overall and we enjoyed sitting outside by the river but didn’t feel like the value fit what we paid.
