About this property
Martindale River House
About this space
Welcome to our tranquil getaway in Martindale, TX, nestled along the beautiful San Marcos River. This modern retreat offers the perfect riverside escape, just minutes from San Marcos and Lockhart, and a short drive from Austin and San Antonio.
The space
The river house is modern yet cozy, with an open living area that invites in plenty of natural light and offers beautiful views of the lush backyard—ideal for spotting wildlife. Inside, you'll find everything you need for a comfortable stay, from the spacious dining table for family meals to the cozy breakfast nook perfect for lazy mornings or late-night card games. The kitchen is fully equipped, and laundry facilities are available for your convenience. With three bedrooms and a bunk room complete with a TV, there's plenty of space for everyone to unwind and relax. Outside, the large backyard provides ample opportunities for outdoor fun, including dining under the stars, gathering around the fire pit, or simply lounging in one of the many seating areas or deck overlooking the river. Welcome to your home away from home by the water.
Guest access
Situated on one acre of land, the river house offers a peaceful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life, great for unwinding and relaxing. The shallow depths of the river (1-4 feet) are perfect for fishing, wading, tubing, and kayaking.
Other things to note
Martindale is a picturesque town with stunning river views, friendly locals, and a lively community. It’s the perfect escape from the city, offering a peaceful retreat for you and your friends and family. I love helping guests plug into the local scene - I can point you to live music, kayaking adventures, or special dinner experiences that really showcase what Martindale is all about.
