Quiet residential neighborhood
It is a cute house in a nice neighborhood. We had some issues with kitchen utensils but the owner responded promptly. The living room couch needs an upgrade.

Great location for when we visit our daughter at TXST! Just enough room for our family, it's nice to have room to spread out vs being cramped in a hotel! We'll be back!!

Cute and convenient. Loved our stay!
The property is in a great neighborhood location. It had all the basics needed for a short trip in San Marcos. The house was clean, accessible, and cozy. The host was responsive, but the property was well stocked so I didn't need anything extra during our stay. I recommend this place if you want to avoid hotels while visiting San Marcos or Wimberley.
