About this property

Beautiful and unique property on the San Marcos River. Great get away!

This site is one of the most beautiful and unique properties available for rent on the San Marcos River. The 550 ft of Frontage has a high bank for fishing and low bank for easy access. The land is a lush pecan bottom with an assortment of trees including a giant cottonwood. Approximately 3 acres that give my guest their own private park. Property is a nature lovers paradise. Abundant bird population, great for the dedicated bird watchers. Wildlife is always an adventure.
Most magical is sitting on the deck under the stars and moon with a cool drink. The place to find the peace
you are seeking. The screened in porch offers a perfect sitting for viewing the property.
Cabin has a loft bedroom that is nicely decorated and very cozy. Plenty of space to stretch out.
The river for swimming, floating, canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Our bank is in It’s natural state, for a true river experience. 2 Dogs are allowed, why should humans have all the fun.

My partner and I spent our anniversary here and it was the best weekend getaway. The pictures of this property do not do any justice, as this place is absolutely beautiful. Did a little fishing in the morning and spent time outside playing with our dog. Seen a few wasps but took care of them with a can of raid i found in the sun room area. Speaking of the sunroom area, there is a few rocking chairs and a nice table in the back that my partner and I played cribbage at. Very relaxing and peaceful.The inside is nice and cozy as you are greeted by a "Howdy" sign once you walk into the cabin. Plenty of places to sit. A/C works great and so does the little heater in the room upstairs. There is a giant tree that is very prominent when you scan the property that we took pictures in front of. Also, Linda (the property owner) was very friendly and very professional. Overall, this was one of the best weekends I've ever had. I will be coming back again.

Much Needed!
My husband and I loved the location. We have been to many cabins but this one is by far the most homey and peaceful one. The online pictures do not give the property justice, it is so much more beautiful and serene than the pictures. Even though it was cold and rained while we were there is was very relaxing and the perfect getaway. We will be back! :)

Lovely
The cabin is right on the river and the nature was breathtaking! I brought my two pups and they played in the wide open spaces. I spent so much time on the deck or by the river…even with the heat it’s so shaded and beautiful. The cabin has all the necessities but the hornets were an issue, I alerted the owner to the issue. He came an patched a hole in the screen and gave me hornet spray. The hornets continued to somehow get into the screen porch so entering exiting the main door was tough. A hornet was inside as well as some spiders so I didn’t sleep too well. The property was lovely and I know bugs are country critters. After a sleepless night, I left early and came home a day early. I would go back but maybe after the hornet issue was resolved. It’s a really beautiful spot but I’m just not a fan of hornets swarming the door.

Consistency
Having stayed at the river cabin several times now I can say that it is consistently clean, well stocked, and comfortable unlike other properties that can be hit and miss. This time I even noticed several improvements, a new bbq grill, picnic tables, fresh paint on the outside. The grass was freshly mowed and a lot of tree trimming was done which made the place even more attractive. The owners were friendly and accommodating as usually. We'll be back!
