Other Things to Note

The neighborhood vibe is lively, walkable, and is a cherished historic district full of long-time local residents. Please be mindful and respectful of our neighbors by keeping the noise down during quiet hours (10pm-7am).
No smoking. No events or parties, no exceptions - San Marcos city ordinance.
Fully fenced back yard! There is a storage building on the property that is not accessible to guests.

Please contact us through the VRBO app any time! We live just down the street and can pop over to assist.

This is a 100+ year old house, and not "hermetically sealed" like modern construction. In times of drought, we do occasionally see bugs which come in search of water. If this is a concern, please contact us. This is a child- and pet-safe space, and we use environmentally friendly, non-toxic household products and pest management on the property to do our part in protecting our environment and the beautiful San Marcos river.

We are family friendly and LGBTQ+ allies.
