THE MOCKINGBIRD: Cozy & Modern Guest Cabin, between San Marcos & Wimberley!

THE MOCKINGBIRD

Cozy, Modern Cabin Between Wimberley and San Marcos

Escape to a peaceful Hill Country retreat tucked between Wimberley and San Marcos. This is the kind of place you come to slow down, enjoy the outdoors, and still be close to everything.

You are just 10 minutes to Wimberley Square and Texas State University, about 15 minutes to San Marcos Square and the outlets, and a short drive to Canyon Lake and New Braunfels. Both Austin and San Antonio are about 45 minutes away.

⸻

THE FEEL

Step into a warm, pine lined cabin tucked in the trees. The open living area includes a full kitchen, a dining table for four, and a comfortable place to relax.

Start your morning on the patio with coffee and birds at the feeder. In the evenings you will likely see deer moving through the property, and sometimes even a fox. When night falls, sit under a sky full of stars. Inside, you can put on a record, watch a show, or just enjoy the calm.

If I could rate my experience a 20, I would!! Brandi thought of everything possible to make our stay the most enjoyable experience, from the extra towel for our puppy along with dog treats, to freshly roasted coffee beans, a French press, snacks, water, and fresh fruit. So many amenities that we didn’t even get to enjoy since we had other obligations. Brandi is a true host in every sense. Communication was phenomenal! Without question, we would stay there again.
