I absolutely adored my stay at Melrose River Club. If you’re looking for a true getaway in Texas, this is it. The luxury cabin setting right off the river feels private, peaceful, and completely removed from city life. Being able to see the stars at night, relax by the beautiful pool, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere made it feel like a personal retreat. The staff experience was warm and thoughtful, which elevated the entire stay. It’s the perfect place to reset, recharge, and escape the noise of everyday life.

Perfect getaway for a couple.

Was a great stay for our anniversary trip. The cabin was spacious and very homey. We didn't want to leave. The pool was great and a great atmosphere on the property. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. The bed was one of the most relaxing and comfortable beds we have had anywhere we stayed. Would go back again anytime we go to san marcos.
