Family-friendly vacation rentals in San Marcos River

Place was amazing but it is a smart house. We had trouble with the TV and lights hooking it up on our phones. The TV wanted us to download an app and add a credit card. The outside was amazing, especially the hot tub. Only down fall was the storm knocked the outside lights out so we swam in the dark. Overall, it was amazing!

Ideal location and beautiful property. Condo was well furnished and very clean. Comfortable linens and beds. Would absolutely stay here again!

Amazing stay!! Clean, awesome house! Quick to communicate and help with anything needed! Would definitely stay again.

We had a wonderful stay! The place was so comfortable, clean, cozy. The bed was amazing and the hosts were incredibly friendly and supportive! Can’t wait to stay again!

Great communication, location within steps to the brewery, lots of activities

Great convenient and clean place!

Our stay at this incredible lake house in Canyon Lake was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the panoramic views of the water, the peaceful surroundings, and the thoughtfully designed home. The house itself is beautifully maintained, with a perfect mix of modern comfort and rustic charm. Spacious bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and cozy common areas made it easy for our whole group to relax and enjoy our time together. The large deck overlooking the lake quickly became our favorite spot — ideal for morning coffee, afternoon lounging, and sunset dinners. One of the standout features was private lake access. We loved being able to swim, kayak, and paddleboard right from the backyard. Evenings were spent in the hot tub under the stars — truly unforgettable. The location is perfect: secluded enough to feel like a true escape, yet close enough to town for groceries.

The place was amazingly cozy, comfortable, clean, and spacious. I really enjoyed the pool and the hot tub. Wifi worked well too. Michelle has two dogs that were very friendly with my family (including our dog), so our dog also had a great time. Also the location was really good - easy access to coffee shops and restaurants by walking or short driving as well as to the University of Texas by 10 minutes or so of driving. Would definitely consider this Airbnb again when visiting UT area again in the future.

The pictures did not do this place justice! It was way more beautiful in person! When you first drive in, you are greeted by the cute goats!!! It’s all enclosed and very relaxing and quiet! The cabin was adorable and very well kept! The only downside was the one scorpion we saw! 🤭 can’t stop nature though, and the place was totally worth the scorpion visit. Beautiful and would definitely go back, maybe even try the yurt next time!!!

Peaceful & just what I needed for a “me treat”

Silvio’s place was really awesome! We were visiting for a BMT graduation & being able to stay around the lake & make the ~1 hour commute to Lackland was worth it. The lake has lots to do around it & landscape is breathtaking. Silvio gave us a huge, detailed list of recommendations as well, which we were really thankful for! Very clean & felt right at home. Check-in was super easy. This spot is convenient if you are interested in both San Antonio & Austin, as it is a perfect halfway point between the two. Also, the beds were SO comfortable! If we return to this area of Texas again, we will definitely be booking Silvio’s place!

Thank you, Carissa! Our stay was perfect. The home was perfect size - we felt like right at home. The cozy backyard was my favorite. I enjoyed having coffee and listening to the birds in the morning.

This is our 2nd time renting with Nicolette. Our experience as the last was great. It was easy to check in. The place is very accommodating. We were very happy.

Great place, looks just like the pictures. The location is off the beaten path, 10-15 minutes off the main road. It is quiet and has great views. The bed was comfortable and kitchen had the essentials with some extras. The only con was the shower pressure was lacking. Overall, we enjoyed out visit.

This is the cutest, rustic cabin! Nestled in natural greenery, comfortable decor, and a relaxing River… my adult daughter and I floated, relaxed, and enjoyed our mini-holiday SO much! We ate at Myron’s, shopped, and enjoyed NB’s farmer’s market. My little pugs ran around and napped til their hearts were content. Five Stars! Thank you for having us, Amy!

Even though this was a work trip for me, staying at Emily's place felt like a retreat! I was fully relaxed each day coming in and loved enjoying my morning coffee and yoga flow on the deck! Perfect location and was super easy to get to and from throughout my visit. Highly recommend and I'll be adding Emily's location to my places to revisit on the future!

we felt like it was an absolute honor to stay in this artistic tribute to all things wonderful - whether a picture of a giraffe peering in the window to see what you are cooking, or a small plastic pig figurine looking down from above the shower. What an experience and we suspect each item displayed has a rich story that could go along with it. The artful displays provide a rich coziness to the experience in this large home. The owner keeps the place spotless and supplied with anything you might need. She is a super communicator and readily available to assist in any way. This is a place you do not want to miss - it is as unique as they come and very comfortable!

We had a lovely stay at the property. Easy to get to and pleasant setup in the villas. We enjoyed the pool and a little hike as well nearby. Came with our baby and it was a great family friendly setup.

John & Sherri were very responsive when i had any questions, and are just down to earth people.

Kim and her husband Tex are great hosts. They addressed our concerns quickly. Their place is nice. Our family enjoyed the pool. We recommend Kim’s listing!

Lovely "studio", small kitchen, sitting area and two big comfy beds. Pool and patio definitely the highlight. Quiet and peaceful. Rose was helpful and friendly (on site) but not intrusive.

We loved the location of this condo. Perfect for our small children. It was close to lots of our favorites. Jimmy was very quick to respond. We will definitely come back to this location.

From the time my family arrived to the house we were satisfied, left easy instructions for everything we needed in the house. Was attentive to us when we needed it. My kids and I made memories on this vacation will definitely be back to use this Airbnb again!

What a wonderful host and place to stay. This house is located right at the heart of downtown Buda and is a short walk to all the fun stuff to do around town. Not only that, the hosts are amazing and go above and beyond your typical host. For example, I lost an AirTag during my stay and within an hour of me leaving, they already had the AirTag in the mail. Would highly recommend this place to anyone looking to stay in Buda!
