Country retreat

Linny and Adam are great hosts! The house was fantastic with the location quiet, yet close to Austin, San Antonio and the Hill Country. Adam is a great chef, had him prepare a delicious dinner one night during our stay. Would absolutely plan on staying here again on our next trip to Austin!!

Beautiful Hill Country Stay

We had a great Memorial Day weekend at Fox Ridge Farmhouse. The house was clean and had plenty of space for 6 adults with room to spare for ar least 2 kids in the double twin room. The house is very close to town (15min from down town) but it still feels like you're way out in the country. 10/10 would stay again.

Foxridge Farmhouse was a great experience. House was in outstanding condition. Probably the cleanest and best maintained property I have rented. Location is wonderful, quiet, very private and still only 15 minutes away from San Marcos. The owners were extremely helpful and friendly. Wonderful experience, highly recommend.

A beautiful Easter weekend

We are repeat visitors! Two families came to celebrate Easter with our TXST college kids. We loved having such a well appointed kitchen to prepare an Easter meal. We dyed marshmallows because of the egg shortage. Dyed marshmallows were perfect to make s'mores and enjoy the fire pit. Comfortable beds and lots of space to hang out and relax.

Excellent!

We stayed at Fox Ridge Farmhouse for our son’s graduation from TXST. It was absolutely perfect! The hosts were so nice & accommodating and even brought a little gift for our graduate! The beds were the most comfortable we have ever slept in! There was plenty of room for our extended family that came in for graduation & the kitchen was well equipped. Would definitely recommend!

Family time in Hill Country

Our family of eight had a great time in this home. It had everything we needed and was very comfortable. The location was fabulous for all of the things we wanted to do. The only thing that I missed on the listing was that all the bedrooms were upstairs. We had aging parents that found it difficult to get up and down every day, but maybe I just missed this on the listing.

Easter weekend

Two families enjoyed a lovely holiday weekend with our college kids at Fox Ridge. We could not have been more comfortable. We made lots of home-cooked meals in the perfectly appointed kitchen. We really enjoyed making fires at night to sit and relax and talk. We loved being able to bring our dog since the college kids miss him so much. We will definitely keep this house at the top of our list for San Marcos stays. Our hosts were so good about keeping in touch and even brought us delicious homemade jam and farm fresh eggs. Both were such a nice treat!

We had an excellent stay at Fox Ridge! It’s the perfect place for a large family with some extended family to stay, where you can cook, hang out, play games, and enjoy each other‘s company. We all were in San Marcos to move our college student in for summer school and football. The kids enjoyed playing darts, shooting baskets, board games, and the record player. It’s nice to have two living room rooms where people can watch TV or play games. The bedrooms are done so nicely with exceptionally comfortable beds. We will be back to stay for home football games in the fall and look forward to it! Linny is a fantastic host! Fresh eggs and raspberry jam, plus personalized care. What a treat!

Best VRBO Out of Many Stays!

We can't say enough nice things about this house and the owners! It was spotless and sparkled, truly. If you're looking for a scenic, quiet setting, this home is it. The views from the back of the home of the rolling hills on 6 acres are amazing. We enjoyed sitting by the fire pit every night. The dead-end street was great for walking, and the dogs loved the huge fenced in area! All of the king-sized beds were super comfortable. The decor of the house exuded a warmth that made it so relaxing. Linny and Eric were the best hosts we've encountered in our multiple rentals over the years-- they went way beyond the norm with fresh baked goods, farm eggs, an abundance of supplies, and attention to detail in their directions about the house and area. We are so grateful for them, their hospitality, and being able to make such great memories in their inviting home!
