5 Bedroom House in Martindale

Summary:
The San Marcos River Haus is the perfect family getaway. Enjoy a private, gated retreat on 2 acres, the River Haus is the perfect blend of luxury living and rustic charm. The property has plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces for the whole family to be together or get quiet time if needed. Quiet times from 10:00 pm-10:00 am please. We would love for you to visit and have a wonderful time but no hooting and hollering outside after 10:00 pm. We respect our neighbors rights to get good rest.
The Space:
2486 square feet of rustic luxury with an excellent river view. There are two master bedrooms, each with its own oversized private bathroom and private entrance. The open kitchen is well situated for entertaining your family and friends. The garage is equipped with a shuffleboard table, foosball table, and games for the kids. There are 3 kayaks and fishing gear for you to enjoy. Relaxation is the goal! With so many different spaces to choose from, inside and outside you will enjoy your time at the River Haus.
Guest Access:
The entire home is yours to enjoy! Check in will be a breeze, there is a coded lock that will be set up with a code just for you. Please park in front of the garage only.
The Neighborhood:
The River Haus is situated in a secluded, secure, gated community. Feel free to stroll through the neighborhood, ride bikes, and play in the great outdoors. There is a spring-fed creek that runs down one side of the property, so feel free to take the little ones on a crawfish hunt!
Getting Around:
We are located minutes from downtown San Marcos, walking distance from several toobing companies, and nestled in the historic and private Riverbend community.
Other Things to Note:
We highly recommend checking out our favorite spots in and around San Marcos:
The Aquarena Springs Glass Bottom Boat tour-you will learn all about the San Marcos river (this is where is begins and it floats right by the River Haus) see fish and turtles swimming by.
There are so many amazing places to eat! Try Herbet's Taco Hut or The Tap Room (their burgers are crazy good!)

Summary: Arrived at property, grass was knee high. Cobwebs on porch. Bird poop, and feathers on back door way. Pictures on website did not match the actual location. Everything was grown over. Not a good trip to dock area with it all grown over. Had to wait until grass was mowed the next day. Was told grass was going to be mowed at 7:20am. Two guys with small mowers showed up and took most of the day to mow. Asked if they could mow closer to house so kids could play. Took 2 hours more hours for that to happen. No night or morning fishing we’re able to happen…. House was nice.

Summary: 14 family members visiting aunt&uncle for the week. The river haus was an excellent choice to house our large group. It had everything we needed (minus wash cloths) to make our stay comfortable. Convenient location to Austin and San Antonio.

Summary: This home is being misrepresented. The pictures and description need updating. The river access and landing are not as they appear. The kayaks are difficult to get to the river and out of the water due to the steep slope and growth at the waters edge. And the largest kayak was sinking during our short paddle upstream with 2 children in it. I was disappointed to find the home had not been properly cleaned (globs of grease and food on counters, bowls in cabinets had water in them, food and sticky stains on dining table and side tables, dirty rug, mud and dirt on stairs to loft, hair on bath mat) especially after contacting the owner about the most recent poor cleaning comments on VRBO and another rental website prior to our arrival. The bad comments on reviews did not appear until after the refund date had expired. I accepted his explanation of a one time problem after the first bad review but subsequent bad comments on reviews followed. I tried to cancel but he said I would not get a refund. My family will not reserve this property again. Make sure you read the reviews not just look at the star rating.

Summary: Spacious home, great for large families or groups visiting Sam Marcos, situated 6 miles (15 minutes) from Old Main. A great location for enjoying the river, offering direct access to a small dock on the river bank. Home is back from the neighbors on a large lot. We had solitude on both the front and back porch areas. The house is an ideal retreat. It is clean and comfortable, and everything we needed was provided. Both drip and k-cup coffee pots are available, so bring pods if that's your preference. The back deck is equipped with three grills: gas, smoker, or charcoal. The host communicated well and provided information on the property, river, and local attractions. We had a fantastic stay and would definitely book again.

Summary: My family and I stayed here for a graduation. Everyone loved the home and was comfortable staying there. We enjoyed the kayaks and fishing gear even though it was raining most of the time we were there. There was enough space for all of us to be comfortable. Overall a very memorable stay for all of us!
