2 Mi to DT San Marcos: Spacious Home w/ Yard!
River HQ | Downtown San Marcos | Family & Group Retreat
Welcome to River HQ - your home base for everything San Marcos. Perfectly positioned just minutes from downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos River, this spacious retreat was designed with families and groups in mind. Whether you're floating the river, visiting loved ones at Texas State University, planning a reunion, or gathering friends for a weekend escape, this is where you land, recharge, and make it all happen.
This four-bedroom, four-and-a-half-bath home gives everyone room to spread out while still feeling connected. Each bedroom features a comfortable queen bed, and the upstairs loft offers three queen sleeper sofas—ideal for kids, cousins, or extra guests. With multiple bathrooms and thoughtful layout design, mornings run smoothly even with a full house. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms are conveniently located on the first floor, making it easy for multi-generational groups.
The heart of the home is built for gathering. The full kitchen is stocked with everything you need, from cookware and dishware to a dual drip and pod coffee maker with coffee provided. Cook a full meal, reheat takeout from downtown, or grill outside on the patio while the group relaxes in the yard. After a long day on the river, unwind with board games, books, or stream your favorites on the Smart TV. There’s even an exercise bike if someone in your crew wants to squeeze in a quick workout.
Outside is where River HQ really earns its name. Spend your mornings on the balcony with coffee, your afternoons grilling on the patio, and your evenings planning the next float. A kayak is provided so you can take full advantage of your time on the San Marcos River without the extra hassle. This is river life made easy.
Traveling with pets? They’re welcome with a pre-paid fee. With central A/C, ceiling fans, washer and dryer, complimentary toiletries, keyless entry, and free WiFi, the home is fully equipped for both short stays and extended getaways. Five exterior security cameras face outward for added peace of mind, and driveway parking accommodates up to four vehicles. This home also makes an ideal jumping-off point for exploring Central Texas. You’re within easy day-trip distance to Austin and San Antonio, giving you access to live music, historic sites, and incredible dining before returning to the relaxed pace of San Marcos.
If you're looking for a comfortable, well-located, river-ready home that truly works for families and groups, this property delivers. Secure your stay and make this your headquarters for an unforgettable time in San Marcos.
