1 Bedroom House in Martindale

Nestled between the rolling hills of Austin and the historic sites of The Alamo City, Hen House Cottage is a private, rustic residence situated near the San Marcos River in Martindale, Texas, a quaint town known for its tight-knit community, interesting personalities and scenic views -- which have made it to the set of more than one Hollywood production. With a full kitchen, modern amenities (high speed internet, cable television) and enough room to accommodate four guests comfortably. Hen House Cottage is the perfect headquarters for an extended expedition into the many wonders of Central Texas, a haven for souls who enjoy river life and recreation, a convenient spot to get away from the pressures of the big city in a more relaxed environment, or simply a better alternative to impersonal, inconvenient and cramped hotels while doing business in the area. Local attractions include the well-trafficked outlet malls of San Marcos, nationally acclaimed barbecue restaurants of Lockhart, the original Schlitterbahn in New Braunfels and Texas State University -- home of the LBJ Museum, honoring one of its most famous students, our 37th president Lyndon Baines Johnson. The location offers easy access to San Antonio and Austin by the interstate or toll road. For those who would like to stay close to home during their stay at Hen House Cottage the cool waters of the San Marcos River are a short walk away, and you can enjoy the city park with river access, take a float with one of the tubing services, rent a canoe from a local outfitter, or enjoy a beer or coffee from our very own Martindale River Café and Mercantile within walking distance of the cottage!

Summary: Hen house was a neat and orderly little cabin in small town Martindale. Had everything we needed for a weekend stay. Owner even left the lights on for us due to our evening arrival. She had also contacted us to make sure everything was good. Which it was. If you need a quiet place to recharge it will not disappoint. Stay here.

Summary: The “Hen House” was a lovely quaint cottage, and a perfect place to stay for a weekend wedding. We enjoyed not fighting the traffic and the crowds. The rental had everything we needed and more. We loved the short walk down to Main Street for a drink and appetizer at the Martindale Riverfront Cafe. We also walked across the street to the Good Things Grocery. This little store stocks many gourmet items that you would not expect in a small town. We rate this experience ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Summary: My daughter and I had a wonderful time staying at the Cottage! It is absolutely adorable and the perfect place to stay...my family and I will be back to stay again. We had a wonderful lunch at the Martindale River Cafe and delicious breakfast at the Red Barn Bakery. Arlis is a wonderful hostess and made sure our stay was perfect!! Very convenient to the San Marocos area.

Summary: The cottage is cute and cozy and very reasonably priced! Hostess is great. The cottage had lots of extra blankets, books, and a full kitchen with many coffees and teas to choose from. Martindale is a very small, safe town, but still I appreciated the electric gate for added security. Only about ten minutes from San Marcos for grocery shopping or picking up food. It’s really a prime spot to stay for a long weekend in Central Texas, as you can enjoy a quiet morning in the country, tubing on the river, and dinner in Austin all in one day. I would definitely recommend staying at the cottage!
