Southern Charm - HUGE Hill Country Home on 4 Acres w/Pool, Hot Tub & Fire Pit
Extraordinary 4,000 sq ft vacation home that blends the best of rustic and contemporary styles in a private setting. Southern Charm is located on the southwest side of San Marcos, Texas down a long-shaded driveway tucked back in a grove of tall oak trees. San Marcos is centrally located between Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels making the list of nearby activities endless.
Enter to the intimate sitting area with brandy leather chairs strategically placed in front of the bar stocked with stemware. Walk in farther to the cozy living area that has a massive 12-foot long sectional sofa, 65” Smart TV, and wood-burning fireplace. Just off this room is the fully stocked country kitchen with double islands, stainless appliances, and ice maker. Just off the kitchen is the elegant dining area that has a 9-foot solid pine dining table that seats 10 placed beside another wood-burning fireplace. Also located on the first floor is one full bathroom offering a walk-in shower and a bedroom that has two queen size beds.
Make your way upstairs to the enormous master bedroom. The king size bed sits opposite of the sitting area that has a queen size sofa sleeper and a 55” Smart TV. There is also a door leading out to the upstairs deck, a luxuriously done walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are three more bedrooms located upstairs, each with a king size bed. Also, upstairs is one more full bathroom with a bathtub/shower.
The outside grounds are absolutely magical! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee swinging on the long front porch. Watch the kids swim from the fully shaded upstairs deck with steps right to the pool. Or cool off in the swimming pool complete with shallow sitting pool great for toddlers to play and splash in. Surrounding the pool are 4 chaise lounges, a picnic table, and an outdoor dining table that seats 6. There are commonly red birds and hummingbirds fluttering around and deer grazing in the field. This property has such a peaceful atmosphere, a great place to relax and recharge!

The house was beautiful! Details were thought through to make the experience welcoming from the minute we opened the door. The host also worked with us on a special situation, which was very appreciated. Our stay was short, but we all agreed this would be a great place to return to for a future trip!
House was beautiful inside and out, had plenty of space for 10 of us. Pool and hot tub were great, and the house had plenty of items to make the stay convenient.
Nice place, in a nice setting. Had all the amenities we needed.

The property was practically perfect for our family! Quiet, semi secluded, beautifully decorated and the beds…all the beds were amazingly comfortably! Having 2 fridges was so helpful and the kitchen had everything!
We spent as much time as possible in the pool since our stay was in June.

We appreciate your kind words very much! We hope you will return and we get to host you again in the future!
Our family — my husband, our three young boys, and my brother and his wife and daughters — absolutely loved this house! Plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds and linens, well appointed rooms, stocked kitchen. The pool is gorgeous and clean and the outdoor set up is spectacular. The hot tub was spotless and functioning well. We adore this property and can’t wait to stay here again!

We loved our 2 night stay at this Southern Charm property. Everything was clean and decorations were beautiful. The beds were so very comfortable. Location was perfect with a country feeling but just a 5 min drive into town. The kids had a great time in the pool. We look forward to booking this place next year for our annual family get together

Our group of ladies have booked this property. Each of us travel from different areas of Texas & find the location to be a perfect destination for all. The house fits our group & the pool makes even the brutal heat bearable. I'm sure we will book again for next year.

We had a wonderful time at this property. The owner was VERY responsive to any questions we had. The home was full of every thing you could possibly need. The first thing I noticed was how clean it smelt and felt upon arrival, which is even more important these days. We had a wonderful trip and will absolutely use this property again if we return to the area.

Had a great time! The house provided everything we could need! Loved the gift basket to greet us after our arrival! We used every bit of the house and outdoor space! Enjoyed the deer and even spotted a fox! The cat also paid us a visit! We enjoyed going to Natural Bridge Caverns near by! The weather was perfect!

Great Hill Country Home, Comfortable, and Wonderful Amenities
Eight family adults getting together to see a Willie Nelson concert at the Whitewater Theater in New Braunfels. Loved the comfortable bedrooms, Dining room, and 65" TV for football on Sunday. Ice maker came in handy. Enjoyed sitting outside by the pool.
