About the host

Our passion for hosting inspired us to renovate this house into the perfect getaway for families and groups like yours.

Why they chose this property
This home has been a special part of our family’s journey since we bought it in 2016. For eight years, it served as a home-away-from-home for our friends and family attending Texas State University. With two generations of proud Bobcat graduates in our family, our connection to San Marcos and the university runs deep.
San Marcos is a gem of a town, known for its vibrant community, natural beauty, and rich history. From tubing down the crystal-clear river to discovering local eateries and shops, there’s something here for everyone. And if you’re up for more adventure, Austin and other Texas Hill Country towns are just a short drive away.
