Cute and convenient. Loved our stay!

The property is in a great neighborhood location. It had all the basics needed for a short trip in San Marcos. The house was clean, accessible, and cozy. The host was responsive, but the property was well stocked so I didn't need anything extra during our stay. I recommend this place if you want to avoid hotels while visiting San Marcos or Wimberley.
