Whether you're here to tube the river, love fly-fishing, or are in town to visit Texas State in San Marcos, this 1-bedroom + loft, 1-bathroom vacation rental cabin has it all! With 3 flat-screen TVs, comfortable accommodations for 6 guests and a spacious covered deck, this cozy home ensures a great stay. While you're in town, visit Staples Historic Park or make the trip to New Braunfels!

THE PROPERTY:

Winter Texans will love this cabin, which is outfitted with all of the comforts of home – kick back and relax in your bright 399-square-foot abode that features a bonus loft (200 sqft)! The interior is furnished with pieces inspired by the San Marcos River, and the house boasts seasonal specials to make it easier than ever to get away!

Perfect place to stay

My husband and I brought our 17 year old daughter and her best friend for a few days in the Hill Country. This cabin was the perfect place to return to after a day of exploring Hill Country swimming holes and Schlitterbahn. It was a short drive to all of our planned attractions but it’s a lovely country drive. I was able to cook multiple meals, having everything I needed in terms of cookware. We enjoyed our morning coffee on the patio each day. It’s quiet and peaceful and we really enjoyed our stay. I didn’t know that there was a problem with the upstairs air conditioning unit until we embarked on our trip but Michelle provided several fans and the teenagers were able to make it work. The downstairs bedroom slept like a dream. I would certainly recommend this little cabin.
