We had a great stay and would absolutely return if we're ever back in the area. While there isn't an oven or a traditional living room, we were aware of that going in—and the hosts truly thought of everything to make up for it. There were comfortable sitting areas both inside and out, plus great extras like a grill, crock pots, and more. Everything was clean, well-stocked, and thoughtfully arranged. The hosts were responsive and helpful without being intrusive. Wonderful experience overall!

Wonderful Getway to visit my Son

I took a much needed break to fly out to visit my son. The place was Perfect!! Small but cozy and comfortable. I was close to visit with him and close enough to downtown to sightsee. The outdoor area was so inviting. Well kept, quiet, and private. The hot tub was a nice perk. The owners were more than accommodating and even got me a small cooler with ice so I could cool down some drinks quickly. I plan on going again after the New Year and I hope the property is available. I would definitely stay again.

Perfect for the weekend

The place is nice and small, which in return makes the stay so much simpler. You have your own space and nice outdoor space. Super welcoming from the host, which adds in top of not just the stay but the entire experience. Excellent from checking in, feeling welcomed by the host, and up until checking out.

A gem!

We visited for a short stay celebrating my Mom's birthday. The property was beautiful, the atmosphere was perfect, and the overall stay was exactly what we needed. The location is perfect if you want to go to either San Antonio or San Marcos, as it is centrally located. There are many places nearby for food and drinks as well. We enjoyed the hot tub every day after a long day of shopping and walking around. Definitely recommend this place for anyone that wants a very relaxing place to stay.

Quick getaway

This is a perfect choice if you're trying to get out and relax away from all the noise and all the hustle and bustle of life today. They have a beautiful sauna and a hot tub that we enjoyed every day of our stay. The host is awesome. They have great communication and try to help as much as they can to make your stay pleasant. When we arrived they had a little table in the bedroom with snacks and a sweet note. This is honestly the cutest guest house rented thus far. We highly recommend you will not regret it! We would definitely stay again.
