San Marcos River Cabin/ Property - Fentress , - on the river

Looking to get away from the crowds? Want a true vacation? Enjoy this one of a kind "Cabin" nestled on the San Marcos river surrounded by trees and wildlife.. Enjoy and play in the scenic river or spend your nights by the campfire stargazing. Small above ground pool to help battle the Texas heat. Perfect for a family or group of friends to enjoy some peace and quiet or to use as a home base to prior to visiting dozens of local attractions. Float, swim, fish, or sit in your lawn chairs in the year round 72 degree river temperatures. ( access the river via a ladder and sand bar landing for now) Located 10 minutes from Lockhart, 35 minutes from historic Gruene Hall, 40 minutes from Austin Airport, 45 minutes to San Antonio, 10 minutes to Luling, 15 minutes to San Marcos, 35 minutes to New Braunfels. It is certainly in the country and thus risks of wildlife interaction is possible. Herds of deer are aplenty. Due to steep banks and remoteness of the property, it may not be the best option for small children. It's not for everyone, but it may be just right for you and your guests.

Overall Experience

It was a very nice place to stay. Only downside was electricity and water stopped working for hours after a storm came through. Would be nice to have a stove as well and better water pressure, but overall it was good

Hidden Hidaway

This cabin was great for our weekend away. Fishing was great & the cabin was cozy! We played games on the back patio afterdark and had a beautiful light show from the lightening bugs. The location was perfect for some quiet family time together on the river. Would rent again!

Cute cabin on the river

The family and I stayed here for a few days. The cabin is very nice and cozy. We loved the layout especially the loft for the kiddos. Right on the river and nice area to just sit and chill. The host sent a message about local things to try which was awesome. Nice gentleman rents tubes just down the road. It's a very quiet and relaxing area.

Nature lovers rustic river cabin

We stayed at the cabin in April. The cactus and wildflowers were blooming. There were plenty of deer, turkeys, armadillos, amd other wildlife to enjoy. It is a peaceful place out in the country on the river which I completely enjoyed.

Quiet stay on the river

This place was an efficient and neat use of the space. Loved the barn doors and decor. My kids loved the loft space. We enjoyed the river once we found out it wasn't too deep. Pretty quiet and nice outdoor space to chill in.

Quiet & Comfortable

Great spot to bring a group to relax and enjoy nature. The location sits right on the San Marcos river which was absolutely beautiful. Swimming, tubing/floating options right at the house. An above ground pool available but we enjoyed the river much more. The host was very informative and helpful with check-in & check-out along with other useful tips. We certainly enjoyed our stay.

Cute, Rustic River Cabin

We came to Luling for the Thump and my husband’s high school reunion. We thought it would be fun to stay on the river - it brought back a lot of memories for my husband. You have to keep in mind this is a rustic, river cabin. The cabin was unique and had great decor. It had everything we needed for our stay.

Super Cute Cabin and View

Overall awesome stay. The pictures in the listing do not do it justice! The cabin is very cute and the view is awesome. The cabin could have been cleaner, and getting in the river at the house is a bit difficult as mentioned in the listing. We also went to the guy down the road to rent tubes as mentioned in the listing and it was PERFECT!!! We had an awesome stay!

Wonderful place. We loved it. The property could be a little neater on the outside... and the kitchen is tiny without oven and stove which made cooking difficult. But we managed. I will definitely go back and loved the house, property and everything about it!
