Away from the city proper but close enough to daughter’s apartment near TX ST to help her move in. Very unique and fun experience, super clean, and had all the things we needed to feel at home. ##### Paula Z. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Charlie C. Jun 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### Nice stay in a quiet cabin The cabin was nice and cozy, and everything worked great - Cool AC, hot showers. The house was nice on the inside, and we had a nice little fenced space all to ourselves. San Marcos is only about 15 minutes away by car, and has lots of great food options. Thanks! ##### Charlie C. Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Janis Z. Sep 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, communication, location, listing accuracy A perfect get away for the weekend, loved all of the extra amenities and supplies. It was clean and comfortable. We had a little trouble with the lock as it didn't pop open, had to sort of pry it open. Wanted to sleep in the loft but there was a dead June bug and some other littles up there. But, hey it is in the country!! ##### Janis Z.
