We had a wonderful time. Our plans to float the river were actually cancelled due to thunderstorms. The home had plenty alternatives to occupy our party of 12. Everything was clean, instructions clearly posted for any questions that came up, we really had a great time!

Fantastic family time

We rented the house for a place to be while my son and his new bride got married in San Marcos. The house was beautiful and plenty of room for everyone. My only concern was there were no dressers in the bedrooms to put our clothes away. We were there for nearly a week and would highly recommend. Definitely will look to booking this again if we head back to Hill country in Texas. The views were out of this world. It certainly was the icing on the cake to a very wonderful wedding with family.

Family/Friends Vacation

Our vacation was wonderful. We loved the charm and character of the Victorian house. The game room and pool areas were great to gather and hang out with the group. Loved all the different seating areas on the grounds. We truly enjoyed the view which was awesome both in the mornings and evenings.

Room with a view

Four couples shared the home during New Year's Eve and had a wonderful time. The amenities with the outdoor grill and hot tub are great but it was the location that made the whole weekend. The view from the bedrooms, living area and back porch are spectacular! If you want a hill country experience, this is the place.

Ridge View

It was a great house with amazing view. We were disappointed that the pool was not maintained (very cloudy water). We would have liked to have used it since the temps were in the nineties. If the pool would have been clean it would have definitely been a 5 star review.

Beautiful home with gorgeous views

We had an amazing get-together (4 adult siblings and 4 spouses) for 3 days at this beautiful house and property. Lots of room and great amenities. Everything was perfect. The owners have several properties and we wouldn’t hesitate to rent again from them. It is managed well and has been kept up well. We Loved everything!

Family Escape

There were 3 generations of family, ages 11 months to 77 years, from Albuquerque, San Sntonio, Bulverde, and Boerne. We had a ball in the pool and game room. The kitchen was big enough for several of us to be cooking at once, and we cooked every day. Beds were very comfortable and AC worked great. As warned in advance, we did have 3 scorpion encounters, but we got them before they got us. We saw a porcupine the first night and a fix our second morning. We did not use the hot tub. The lid was full of rainwater on the half with the controls and the color of the water was not inviting, but the pool was great. The little ones loved the wading pool. Thanks for a great stay. Just an FYI, the beverage fridge in the pantry never seemed to get cool.

Amazing views at the hill country

We absolutely loved our time spent at this property. The location, views, the property itself along with the amenities it offered alone made up for the price we paid. However, we were slightly disappointed at the cleanliness of the property. Upon arrival, we found all the floors around the house to be dirty (I spilled some water on the kitchen floor and when I wiped it down with a paper towel, the paper towel came up black with dirt). Sadly it appeared the floors weren't mopped and hadn't been in a while if I were to guess. Also, there was a lot of dirt accumulated under the beds in all bedrooms; it was obvious since every bedroom had wood floors. We are paying for the cost of cleaning and based on our communication with the host, the cleaning process does take up a few hours. Hence we expected more cleanliness at the property at least for the floors to be cleaned properly. Which is why I took away one star from my overall review. However I don't want this to get in the way of anyone wishing to experience this amazing property. I think one should give it a chance because it's totally worth it especially for a family outing with kids. Yet I do hope the host will pay slightly more attention to the cleaning crew and the job they're providing. Aside from that, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and hope to be back soon. Thanks Shiloh for making our stay fabulous!

Fabulous House!

Our friend group of 25 years meets annually for a weekend get away. Everyone loved this house! It is 120 years old, but it is in excellent condition and beautiful! We were still noticing gorgeous details in all the rooms up until the last day. The view from the back of the house is spectacular. The game room is amazing, and we had so much fun playing shuffleboard and pool.

Perfect location for a Hill Country family reunion

We booked a trip with family from around the country to spend a long weekend in the Hill Country. This property was perfect. Centrally located with easy access to the rivers, Austin, New Braunfels, and Canyon Lake. The property also had plenty of room for all 9 people and enough onsite amenities that a few times we decided to just cancel plans and stay in. The home came fully stocked with supplies, and furniture/bedding was clean and comfortable. Communication with the property managers was easy and all information was provided promptly. I highly recommend this location and we wouldn't hesitate to use it again.

Amazing views

We had a great time, loved the character of the over 100yrs old house but with modern amenities. Also made great use of the pool, jacuzzi and especially the game room. But most of all the views are spectacular from all patios as well as most bedrooms. Had some small unwanted visitors in the house but got rid of them with broom and vacuum cleaner. This is normal in the hillcountry. Loved the property!

About the host

Hosted by Shiloh Collins

Host profile image
Phil and Peggy Collins bought this house in late 2015. We own other vacation rental properties in San Marcos, Wimberley, and Coldspring, Texas, as well as in Evergreen, Colorado. Phil and Peggy have owned vacation rental properties in this are since 2005, and are living here full time. Our Son Michael, and his wife Shiloh moved up here in 2016, and manage all of these properties full time.

Why they chose this property

We purchased this property for the amazing views, privacy, and close proximity to Wimberley, San Marcos, Austin, and San Antonio. We really love the character and charm of older homes and were very excited to update the original 1905 house on the property. This house was built as a professor's house at Southwest Teachers Institute ( became SWTSU, then TSU ) in San Marcos. The house was moved onto this site by the previous owner back in 1988. It had been sitting unused for several years when we bought it, and then we did a complete update and remodel. We think that you will love this house as much as we do.

What makes this property unique

This is a very special property. It gives all of the charm of a 1905 victorian home, with all of the modern comforts and conveniences that we are used to. The house is over 4,000 sq ft, so it allows for larger groups, with enough room so that everyone is not underfoot all the time. The views from every floor are just incredible. The rock work on the outside adds hill country charm, as guests enjoy the hot tub, fire pit, BBQ area, and other walking paths.
