Southern Charm - HUGE Hill Country Home on 4 Acres w/Pool, Hot Tub & Fire Pit
Extraordinary 4,000 sq ft vacation home that blends the best of rustic and contemporary styles in a private setting. Southern Charm is located on the southwest side of San Marcos, Texas down a long-shaded driveway tucked back in a grove of tall oak trees. San Marcos is centrally located between Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels making the list of nearby activities endless.
Enter to the intimate sitting area with brandy leather chairs strategically placed in front of the bar stocked with stemware. Walk in farther to the cozy living area that has a massive 12-foot long sectional sofa, 65” Smart TV, and wood-burning fireplace. Just off this room is the fully stocked country kitchen with double islands, stainless appliances, and ice maker. Just off the kitchen is the elegant dining area that has a 9-foot solid pine dining table that seats 10 placed beside another wood-burning fireplace. Also located on the first floor is one full bathroom offering a walk-in shower and a bedroom that has two queen size beds.
Make your way upstairs to the enormous master bedroom. The king size bed sits opposite of the sitting area that has a queen size sofa sleeper and a 55” Smart TV. There is also a door leading out to the upstairs deck, a luxuriously done walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are three more bedrooms located upstairs, each with a king size bed. Also, upstairs is one more full bathroom with a bathtub/shower.
The outside grounds are absolutely magical! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee swinging on the long front porch. Watch the kids swim from the fully shaded upstairs deck with steps right to the pool. Or cool off in the swimming pool complete with shallow sitting pool great for toddlers to play and splash in. Surrounding the pool are 4 chaise lounges, a picnic table, and an outdoor dining table that seats 6. There are commonly red birds and hummingbirds fluttering around and deer grazing in the field. This property has such a peaceful atmosphere, a great place to relax and recharge!

The property was practically perfect for our family! Quiet, semi secluded, beautifully decorated and the beds…all the beds were amazingly comfortably! Having 2 fridges was so helpful and the kitchen had everything!
We spent as much time as possible in the pool since our stay was in June.
Loved this house and property. The house is exactly as depicted in the pictures. Kitchen well stocked, house very clean, beds were so comfortable (I'm ordering same bed linens for my house).
What an amazing location! Huge home with plenty of room for family celebrating my husband’s 70th birthday. Spent a lot of time in the pool, whirlpool or hot tub. Got to see some wildlife. A great experience! Thank you!
Property was all that was promised! Our group was three sets of our family members and Southern Charm was perfect for all of us! Everybody enjoyed the king sized beds in all but one bedroom (and that one has two queen beds!) One more bathroom upstairs would be nice, but we managed with a little planning as to when showers were taken. We felt like we were home!
The inside of the house is a 10. It looks exactly like the pictures and was immaculate. The outside was a bit less clean than expected with a few things laying around, such as a shovel next to the back door. The white ledge in the upstairs porch hasn’t been wiped down in several weeks. You need a
We really enjoyed our stay at the Southern Comfort house. The property is as described and pictured. The living area was very comfy and all TVs were easy to use and no connection issue with TVs or wif!
The kitchen is very nicely stocked and we had everything we needed. Bedrooms were very large, mattresses comfy, and the bedding was very nice. 👍
In addition a very nice laundry room with double washers and dryers! We also were very impressed that the supplies at the house were very generous. Much more than we’ve seen at others houses. Lots of cleaning supplies, toiletries, and the extras amenities in the bathrooms was a nice touch!
We loved the pool and hot tub and spent a lot of time in the backyard area. The pool was clean and everything worked great!
Thank you so much for a great long weekend retreat! We also enjoyed several restaurants in the area which were great and we used meal delivery services which definitely were quick and easy. The entire area is geared for vacationers and it was very nice! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
The home is beautiful. The kitchen was fairly well stocked and the large yard and the heated pool were a BIG HIT! However, we had some issues. First of all, there are only 10 places to sit at the dining table and no extra chairs. If a home advertises it accommodates up to 14 people, but provides room for only 10 at the table, does it really accommodate 14? The treads on several stairs were falling off and dangerous for anyone going up or down. The hand rail was also wobbly and did not provide the needed stability. The sink in one of the bedrooms leaked. We contacted the property manager to find out how to turn off some outdoor lights, but never heard back from anyone. In general, we enjoyed our stay, but these issues would have to be addressed before we would reserve the property again.
The house was beautiful! Details were thought through to make the experience welcoming from the minute we opened the door. The host also worked with us on a special situation, which was very appreciated. Our stay was short, but we all agreed this would be a great place to return to for a future trip!
House was beautiful inside and out, had plenty of space for 10 of us. Pool and hot tub were great, and the house had plenty of items to make the stay convenient.
This property is great! Close proximity to all attractions. The property was clean and had everything you need. The pool is great too! We lived outside!
House is very functional for several families to stay comfortably. The pool and the back yard are great. We had 5 younger kids with us and they were endlessly entertained.
Home is beautiful and the most equipped VRBO we have stayed in yet! We had 10 adults and two children and had plenty of room to spread out. The pool area was perfect! Would definitely return!!!
This warm, comfortable and inviting home is perfect for our multigenerational family
Close for most of us
It our perfect place to spend time together!!!!
Our family — my husband, our three young boys, and my brother and his wife and daughters — absolutely loved this house! Plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds and linens, well appointed rooms, stocked kitchen. The pool is gorgeous and clean and the outdoor set up is spectacular. The hot tub was spotless and functioning well. We adore this property and can’t wait to stay here again!
We loved our 2 night stay at this Southern Charm property. Everything was clean and decorations were beautiful. The beds were so very comfortable. Location was perfect with a country feeling but just a 5 min drive into town. The kids had a great time in the pool. We look forward to booking this place next year for our annual family get together
