    San Marcos River Cabin/ Property - Fentress , - on the river

    Looking to get away from the crowds? Want a true vacation? Enjoy this one of a kind "Cabin" nestled on the San Marcos river surrounded by trees and wildlife.. Enjoy and play in the scenic river or spend your nights by the campfire stargazing. Small above ground pool to help battle the Texas heat. Perfect for a family or group of friends to enjoy some peace and quiet or to use as a home base to prior to visiting dozens of local attractions. Float, swim, fish, or sit in your lawn chairs in the year round 72 degree river temperatures. ( access the river via a ladder and sand bar landing for now) Located 10 minutes from Lockhart, 35 minutes from historic Gruene Hall, 40 minutes from Austin Airport, 45 minutes to San Antonio, 10 minutes to Luling, 15 minutes to San Marcos, 35 minutes to New Braunfels. It is certainly in the country and thus risks of wildlife interaction is possible. Herds of deer are aplenty. Due to steep banks and remoteness of the property, it may not be the best option for small children. It's not for everyone, but it may be just right for you and your guests.

    This cabin was great for our weekend away. Fishing was great & the cabin was cozy! We played games on the back patio afterdark and had a beautiful light show from the lightening bugs. The location was perfect for some quiet family time together on the river. Would rent again!

    Nature lovers rustic river cabin
    We stayed at the cabin in April. The cactus and wildflowers were blooming. There were plenty of deer, turkeys, armadillos, amd other wildlife to enjoy. It is a peaceful place out in the country on the river which I completely enjoyed.

    Quiet stay on the river
    This place was an efficient and neat use of the space. Loved the barn doors and decor. My kids loved the loft space. We enjoyed the river once we found out it wasn't too deep. Pretty quiet and nice outdoor space to chill in.

    Super Cute Cabin and View
    Overall awesome stay. The pictures in the listing do not do it justice! The cabin is very cute and the view is awesome. The cabin could have been cleaner, and getting in the river at the house is a bit difficult as mentioned in the listing. We also went to the guy down the road to rent tubes as mentioned in the listing and it was PERFECT!!! We had an awesome stay!

    Appreciation of solace.
    First time using VRBO or staying in someones home instead of renting a hotel, have to say it may be a repeat. The home was in a remote area yet still close to town. I live in houston where it takes 30-45 mins just to go to the grocery store, so the 20 min drive into town was convenient. The home was perfect size for me and my gang, and so cute. There was a little bit of dust bunnies throughout and could use a little deep cleaning (baseboards, ceilings, walls, windows, shelves) but overall clean. I enjoyed the extra outdoor entertainment options (pool, firepit, swing, river). I would love to go back with more family and even friends because it was perfect. Already planning the next trip and where I will be buying my peice of paradise to emdulge. 😊 Landlord was also very informative with directions and notes in home were helpful. Could use some additional outdoor lighting near the pool area, and possibly pest control for the wasps and wasp nest in the headlight (no light bulb) above pool. Aside from the minor things, loved it!

    disappointed
    Hard location to enjoy the river. Not very secure. Place was dirty, dusty and nor enough mugs for coffee. We were 4 people and only 2 mugs. Had to message also to bring extra toilet paper. We arrived a Tuesday i was told pool gets clean Tuesday and it was really dirty. Very old beds and uncomfortable. Burner to prep food is 2 burners that you can only use one at time. Kitchen too small. Table only for 2 Not to mention the shower head is veery bad and splash water all over. Very hard to shower for a 5”4 woman I won’t rent this location again. Did not enjoy it at all. Fill not feel my expectations.
