About this property

Experience a sunrise you never forget from the deck at the House on Cox Hill

You haven’t experienced a Texas Sunrise until you’ve seen it from deck at the House on Cox Hill. This Texas Hill Country gem is situated on 6 secluded acres just minutes from San Marcos and Texas State University. Invite your family and friends to join you in this unique property nestled in towering oaks featuring a Texas-sized deck that offers some of the best hill country views in the state. Built to entertain big crowds, the house features 4 bedrooms with 3 king sized beds and 1 queen bed. Additionally, there are 2 pull-out couches which offer plenty of sleeping space for your family and friends. Also included are 3 full baths, family room with massive fire place, den/study, kitchen with breakfast nook and formal dining room and plenty of parking for all. The water supplied to the house is from a filtered well from the Edward’s Aquifer.

Bring your camera to capture memories of your family and friends next to the alien spacecraft (a popular attraction featured in the San Marcos Newspaper!) or just enjoying the serene setting of the expansive deck overlooking the hill country. And don’t forget some of the local attractions just a few minutes away including:

- Downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos river (a fun, quick tube float for the little ones!) 4.5 miles
- New Braunfels is just 30 minutes away as is Gruene – home of one of the most famous Dance Halls in Texas and some great dining and shopping
- The World famous San Marcos Outlet Mall is a 15 minute drive
- Austin is 30 miles to the North and just a quick trip up I35
- The Circuit of the Americas Race Track is just 30 miles Northeast

We find most people get to the inviting house in its tranquil setting and just want to stay at home and enjoy making memories with family and friends in the ambiance of the House on Cox Hill. We don’t have many rules but here are the musts: Must be at least 25 years old to rent. Must not have more than 16 guests at any time. Must not smoke in the house. Must have a great time and call us if we can do anything to make your stay memorable and comfortable.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Vintage!
You step in the home and you are stepping into your grandma's house! It's a beautiful home that has aged well. There are other homes on the property, but still very private. They have the home week stocked and there is plenty of space for at least 12. Very convenient to San Marcos, University, stores and restaurants.

Great house lots of space. Needs a clean or new carpet in the upstairs room. Very musty smell but a filter was brought in and helped. We enjoyed our stay and will consider staying there again.

Great location and spacious. The hallway was in the middle of a renovation, otherwise would have been 5 stars all the way.
