About this property

The Lookout - A Hill Country Cottage

  • Welcome to Mosaic! A collection of boutique cabins nestled in the heart of the Hill Country. With all of this peace and quiet it's hard to believe you're just 12 minutes from Texas State University, downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos River. We hope the blanket of stars at night and the stillness of the Hill Country leaves you feeling rejuvenated and content.

    The lookout has been updated! We just installed a vintage clawfoot tub with w/ a shower head attachment.

    We are tucked away in the Hill Country, surrounded by dense forest and a blanket of stars at night. These boutique stays are perfect for anyone who wants all the privacy of the outdoors coupled with the convenience of being close to town.
