Quiet country house on the San Marcos River
What we liked: -quiet and away from the city -green location, lots of trees, and right on the river -the "pebble beach" on the river -privacy -history and nature for teenagers to explore -close driving distance to San Marcos if needed/wanted -house full of interesting books -lively friendly hostess -big beds -washer and dryer -back porch (listening to the river and bird watching) -2 bathrooms -tidy house, bathrooms, towels and linens -antique and vintage furniture in the house gave the house character What could have been better: -we like to cook, and the kitchen supplies/cookware/serving-ware could use an inventory and update -the insides of the kitchen drawers and cabinets could use a deep cleaning -the kitchen needs some bug baits -back porch furniture needs an update Over-all a good experience - we would stay here again

Nice but need attention to detail
No smoke alarms No CO detector No air in bathrooms Mold under sinks Bedroom closets full of stuff Doors need to be able to open shut easily Kitchen drawers mostly broken off track Return air vent filthy Bathtubs floors need mats slippery Walk in shower needs handicap railing Care taker walks around and kinda weird 1/4 bottles of soap and 1 ply tp Owners super nice but they need a handyman to fix place up and make more presentable and worth the cost they charge and advertise

Recharge weekend
Blown away by the hospitality and cuteness of this property. Just a minute walk to wonderful food, live music, and access to the San Marcos River. We had a wonderful time here, and most certainly will be back.

Talked to property owner about house not being clean/dead bugs and the smell. Had to go get a hotel. Talked to somebody at VRBO and they said I would be getting a refund.

great location
We really enjoyed the house and it's location. We came to BBQ taste, hike and kayak. We were only a few miles to all the Lockhart BBQ places. We were also only a few miles from Lockhart State Park and the Purgartory hiking trails. Also close to a number of breweries. We loved that we could walk 3 houses down the block to the downtown and had live music on Friday and Saturday nights. We loved sitting on the porch and being able to see the river. The water was still a little too cold for us to get in but was great to be able to just walk downhill to it. Wished we had brought our fishing stuff. The house had everything we needed, and we were quite comfortable.

Family Time by the River
This property has a great spot on the river. We enjoyed swimming and fishing right behind the house. Martindale is a super cute town that is an easy walk from the house. The stores were closed on our M/Tu visit, but would be a fun spot to wander on the weekend.

Peace and Relaxation
We enjoyed the peace and quiet at this location. Every evening & morning during our stay we would relax on the back porch while listening to the sound of the river and birds. We can't wait to visit again.
