NEW! Hill Country Getaway Near San Marcos River

**Hill Country Hideaway — Minutes from Downtown San Marcos**



Escape to this rustic Hill Country retreat nestled on 2.5 peaceful acres, yet

just minutes from the heart of San Marcos! This older home has been

thoughtfully renovated and well-maintained over the years — offering genuine

Hill Country charm rather than the polished finishes of newly constructed

luxury properties. What it lacks in "brand new," it more than makes up for in

space, character, and value: Merrywood comfortably accommodates larger groups

at a price point that's hard to beat compared to newer vacation homes in the

area.



Whether you're planning to float the river, explore Texas State University, or

enjoy the vibrant downtown square, this spacious getaway puts you close to

everything while offering a tranquil escape from it all.



Inside, the home features two inviting living areas perfect for relaxing or

entertaining, along with three designated sleeping spaces that comfortably

accommodate up to 12 guests. With 2.5 bathrooms, there's plenty of room for

everyone.



**Sleeping Arrangements**



Master Bedroom: 1 King Bed, 1 Twin Bed, 1 Twin Trundle



Second Bedroom: 1 Queen Bed



Garage/Game Room: A professionally converted garage space featuring 1 Murphy

Bed, 1 Queen Loft Bed, and 1 Pull-out Sofa Bed. This room is cooled by its own

dedicated supplemental window air conditioning unit (separate from the home's

central system), with simple operating instructions posted beside the unit for

your convenience.



Living Room: 1 Sofa Bed



Step outside and enjoy your morning coffee or evening wine on one of the two

covered porches, surrounded by the sights and sounds of the Texas Hill

Country. This property is a perfect home base for your next group trip or

family vacation. Explore nearby destinations like Wimberley, Gruene, and New

Braunfels, all within a short drive — or make a day trip to Austin or San

Antonio, each just about an hour away.



If you're looking for a rustic, character-filled home with room for a crowd

and a great price to match, this Hill Country sanctuary offers the ideal mix

of fun, comfort, and convenience.



We love hosting families, couples, and small groups looking to relax and enjoy

the area — this is a quiet residential home, so please note that this home is

for the registered guests on the reservation only. Large gatherings, and

parties are not permitted.

Great property. The bedroom configuration is tougher for adult couples if you have more than 3, as you have to double up. But there are lots of beds. Lots of space for a group and close to San Marcos and all the stores and texas state.
