Nice home with plenty of room for everyone. It wasnât a problem for us but access to the river is about 10â of stairs which isnât shown in pictures. The bank isnât too high though and we were still able to get the kayaks in and out fairly easily. The river right behind the house is perfect for the kids to play in!
My extended family and I stayed the weekend for a family wedding. Itâs a beautiful scenic quiet location. Wished the weather would have cooperated to enjoy the amenities and activities outside. It was very close and so convenient to get back and forth to the wedding venue/celebration. Haleigh was a great host, quick to respond to our questions/needs and very accommodating with check in/checkout.
We loved the privacy the location provided and the fact we could drive to the river and sit in the shade. So great to see a healthy river. The house was very clean, beds extremely comfortable and well stocked. This was a trip for our dogs and they had a blast.
My cousins and our kids loved this beautiful property on the river. The owners went out of their way to make our stay extra special. We hope to stay here again next summer!
We were celebrating my husband's 50th birthday with friends and family and this beautiful house right on the river was perfect. We spent a good day in the river and spend the evening grilling, cooking, eating, and playing games. Plenty of space for everyone and great location with grocery stores nearby. Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful home.
My son was getting married in Lockhart and needed a big space for 14 people to stay. 3 being kids. It was perfect. The kids had room to run around and play. While we attended events for the wedding in Lockhart. There were plenty of beds for all of us to stay in the same house. Loved it. The only thing I would have changed is to have a mirror in every room. It was truly wonderful. Loved it!!!!
We loved the accommodations for our multi-generational family gathering! There were plenty of beds downstairs for the older family members and plenty of bathrooms to accommodate several people trying to get ready all at once. The teenagers loved the air hockey table and we all loved the round table for game playing! There was one really unique feature that fascinated all of us... the LIGHTED kitchen faucet! Now we all want one of these in our homes. This home was decorated cute and was very comfortable. THANK YOU
The property was just as advertised. Haleigh was very accommodating and easy to work with. We had eight adults and three kids (ages 3-7) and there was plenty of room for us. The air hockey table was perfect for the kids. We would absolutely stay here again!
We had a large group with plenty of room. Haleigh and Colin were great as with the location. Will not be disappointed if you rent this place. Spend a lot of time on the patio playing games. Very large and comfortable.
Very pleased with the home. Very clean and spacious. Plenty of linens and towels for extra guest. The host was very easy to get a hold of and answered any questions we had. Thank you Haleigh and Liz!
It was a great stay for us. We had 6 adults and 6 teens. The house was stocked with all the necessities you could ever want. The river was awesome and we did get to play corn hole which the kids and adults loved. Just to sit in the river in chairs and have the water just flow through your legs was awesome. We would definitely go back!
We took a family trip with seven children under 7 (including three babies/infants). There were high chairs, pack and plays, etc. We cooked a lot and found the kitchen to be very well outfitted.
The river access is not ideal for younger kids, but we found a couple of shallow areas where they could play with adults supervising carefully. Haleigh told us the river was a bit higher than usual, so it might be a little less stressful with a lower water flow. Just know that there is no "beach" type area, but you access the river via a metal stairway down a fairly steep bank.
The listing did NOT include a photo of our favorite room... a game room with air hockey table. That was a pleasant surprise and also provided a place for early rising kids to go where they would not wake up the late sleepers.
All in all, we had a blast and would visit again.
The house had more than enough room for our stay. The house was well kept and had more cookware than any other property we have stayed before. I would suggest a toaster (we couldn't find one), but other than that, it had all we needed. Cell phone coverage is spotty, but that is a good thing if you want to really get off the grid for a bit.
Water access is a few yards down a rocky road, so if you have a 4x4 it makes it easier to tote your belongings down to the river's edge. I would recommend to bring your own folding chairs. They have some there, but previous guests have damaged several.
Thank you Haleigh and Collin for answering our questions and addressing any issues we had.
We had a great time at this home. Haleigh is very nice and quick to respond to any of my questions. Check in was easy and keyless. Great backyard for large groups and plenty of fun games for everyone at every age. The river in the backyard is a plus too. Beautiful view. Everyone in my group are happy with the stay. One minus thing is there are no towels racks or hangers in the bathrooms. Overall itâs a success trip.
I booked this house for a group of friends who wanted to get away from the city and relax outside. The way the back of the house outside is decorated is so beautiful. We are every meal outside and it was surrounded by nature. We were able to walk down to the river and take pictures. All the rooms were clean and everyone was happy with their beds. Excellent choice.
Our stay was wonderful from start to finish. Wonderful accommodations and beautiful setting thanks to our wonderful hosts. It was so peaceful and felt like a river hideaway. We feel blessed to have had this home to gather our family together.
Thank you!
Haleigh was born and raised in Texas, after spending nearly 10 years away between Washington DC and Tampa, she and Collin are so excited to be back "home." Collin is Pennsylvania native and loves all things Pittsburgh sports! The Almquist Family purchased their San Marcos home in 2017 and look forward to sharing their vacation home with families from across the country. Haleigh and Collin met in Austin and have always thought of Central Texas as a special place. The moment they laid eyes on the river, they knew this was the vacation home of their dreams.
Haleigh and Collin have now have founded and manage several business around the country and have a knack for customer service. Your family will enjoy the time away and the beauty of the San Marcos River while staying at San Marcos River Rentals.
Haleigh and Collin are proud parents to Axel, 9, Adelynn 3 and Avie under 1. They are no strangers to traveling with children and hope the child friend home will be enjoyed by all.
