Great Location-walking distance to downtown; quiet; historical district
The front porch of the Cottage is perfect for a cup of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the afternoon. Or enjoy sitting in the yard at the Cottage to enjoy some peaceful time and watch for deer in the neighborhood. Being located in one of the Historical District of San Marcos allows you to admire many Victorian homes that have been preserved on a walk in the neighborhood. An added bonus is the Cottage is on the property of a Victorian House built around 1890.

My husband and I loved our stay. The lighted yard is beautiful and I wish we had been there longer to enjoy it more. The full size bed was a little small for us, but other than that, everything was absolute perfection! Highly recommend!!
My husband and I were in town for a conference and came across this hidden gem in an excellent location!Close to downtown and everywhere in San Marcos we needed to be but in a quaint, quiet location.Judy was a fantastic and very welcoming host & we will definitely be back!

Property was as described. We enjoyed it being in a historic district and the neighborhood was fun to walk in. The kitchen was well appointed and the location convenient. Would point out that the bed is a full bed and was cozy for us. Would return again.
Judy was a superb host and the property was lovely. Beautiful gathering space, close to all the activities of town. If you are visiting your college kids, this is an excellent option!
The cottage was the perfect place for my daughter and i as we made plans for her upcoming wedding. Judy is a fabulous hostess. I sure hope i get the opportunity to stay again.
The cottage is on a lovely property, close to town but secluded and quiet. I am a frequent guest

Property is very charming and makes good impressions on your guest. The deer like to graze in the backyard. While the actual building may be on the smaller side, there is plenty of space outside to hang out.

This was a quaint place and just what I needed for the weekend! Judy was welcoming, warm, communicative, responsive, and respectful. Thank you again Judy!
Everything about this cute cottage was perfect. The front porch was wonderful for coffee in the morning as well as cocktails in the evenings. Judy was an excellent and very kind hostess. The late-night deer in the backyard was an added bonus! The location was ideal for restaurants, the football game, and downtown. The cottage itself was paradise for our 4 day weekend Homecoming vacation.
This cottage was perfect! The main home on property is a must see historical home. We will definitely be back!
Judy was a good host to us, responding quickly when we reached out. The place is neat and clean. There was good cellular reception there and a TV that connected to devices for streaming in addition to the TV and programs available through the cable company.
There is a supermarket within walking distance and the downtown is close as well. The area is quiet, private and comfortable for walking on either hilly or relatively flat terrain.

Loved the little cottage, was close to town and minutes away from my sons place! Judy was the sweetest host, felt like weve known her for years! We encountered quite a storm while we were there and lost power and all was a mess outside but was still a great stay. Judy graciously offered to send us to a hotel but we refused, we wouldn't have it any other way, we will definitely be coming back to enjoy our time with Judy and the nice cottage!
