This old-school farmhouse is sitting on \~1.5 acres next to the Blanco River. The spacious country setting makes it hard to believe the proximity to restaurants, bars, rivers and so much more. Relax and experience the secluded environment while playing music on the outdoor surround sound system, grilling & playing cornhole. Oh, and don\`t forget about the 85\` outdoor TV for some evening sports & movies :) Hosting an event? (Birthday, Graduation, Holiday Gathering, Etc…) - Please contact us ahead of time to inquire about event pricing if your guest count will exceed your reservation for a portion of your stay. If your event will be 12 people or less, no additional charges will be incurred as long as your reservation reflects the correct number of guests. Bringing a Pet? - $500 - This is a pet-free property per owner’s request, but if you must bring your furry friend, this pet fee will be applied. We will then do a deep clean after your stay to ensure comfy accommodations for our future guests who may have sensitivities to animal hair/dander. ## Property amenities ### Internet - Available in the house: Free WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Bedrooms - 2 bedrooms - Bedsheets provided - Sofa bed ### Bathroom - 2 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - Smart TV - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Unit size: 1,991 square feet ## Similar properties ![Property grounds](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/75000000/74090000/74089700/74089664/7b472d02.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### San Marcos River Hideaway w/ Game Room + Fire Pit Martindale - Kitchen - Air conditioning - Outdoor Space - Parking available 10 Exceptional 7 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=74089664&PinnedHotelID=74089664&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Outdoor dining](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/115000000/114410000/114407900/114407836/19cdce73.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Wimberley Hill Country Retreat-Pool Spa - Views - Firepit - Sleeps 16 Wimberley - Pool - Hot tub - Kitchen - Washer 10 Exceptional 5 reviews [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=114407836&PinnedHotelID=114407836&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Pool](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/113000000/112830000/112828900/112828865/84b8049d.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Casa Colinas I Wimberly luxury, pool Wimberley - Pool - Kitchen - Washer - Dryer 10 Exceptional 1 review [](https://www.expedia.ca/Hotel-Search?startDate=2026-02-07&endDate=2026-02-08&selected=112828865&PinnedHotelID=112828865&HadPinnedHotel=true®ionId=-1&adults=2) ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/34000000/33650000/33643800/33643778/f0dc80ee.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### $600 OFF/NT! 4BR Riverfront – MDW in San Marcos!
