  • This is a small piece of treasure on an island of relaxation. A beautiful magical cottage with a fabulous outdoor entertaining area where you can sit on the covered deck or by the fire pit to gaze at the stars. Our cottage is fully equipped to make you feel right at home. Our home is 2 bedroom, and 1 bathroom that sleeps 6 guests. Perfect place for a quick getaway to watch a college game, or to float the river. We also welcome long term rentals for those looking to get out of the crazy city life. limited parking and unfortunately there is no street parking out front, 2-4 cars can fit per size.

This place was a great stay for our family. Check in was a breeze, everything was nice and clean, and it’s in a great location. Close to lots of little restaurants and bars and a very short drive to the grocery store and river. We enjoyed our stay!

Super cute

I rented this home as a gathering place for my family after my son’s graduation. It was smaller than it looked in the pictures and I was not aware at first of the limitations on parking, but it was super cute and worked well for our purpose. The double bed was not comfortable for two adults used to sleeping in a king but that was expected. Great location within walking distance (1 mile) from the campus. Would have enjoyed the fire pit if it hadn’t rained, but we did enjoy the covered patio and corn hole boards.

Quick trip

Took my son for an academic event at Texas State. The location was fantastic and allowed us to get good rest before his event. The home was comfortable. We really only got to enjoy the place for sleep but were very pleased.
