Location Details
With the San Marcos river a stone's throw away, you'll definitely want to spend a day or 2 on the water! Head over to Spencer Canoes less than 1 mile away to check out tube, raft, canoe, and kayak rentals. If you're traveling the second Saturday in June, this vacation rental is a perfect home base for the Texas River Safari. The first port of the race happens to be right behind the house at the Martindale Dam, built by the owner’s grandfather, A. H. Smith - the same person who built the 'World‘s Largest Cotton Gin' next door!
Drive about 15 minutes to San Marcos and look forward to an easy-going afternoon exploring the historic downtown or cheering on the Texas State University Bobcats. San Marcos Lions Club Tube Rental is another great spot for water craft rentals!
Take a day trip to Austin and explore its many lakes, parks, and fantastic live music scene. Only 45 minutes away, you can easily drive up for daytime outdoor activities and a night on the town!
Reviews
Recharge weekend
5/5 Blown away by the hospitality and cuteness of this property. Just a minute walk to wonderful food, live music, and access to the San Marcos River. We had a wonderful time here, and most certainly will be back.

Relaxing weekend
5/5 We absolutely enjoyed our time here. The town was amazing! It provides great food at Martindale River Cafe, live music, and friendly community members. We loved the back porch on this property and private section of the river. The groundskeeper made sure we were safe, and the owners were so nice.
Don’t skip on this one! It was perfect!
Manager's Response:

Terrible
1/5 Talked to property owner about house not being clean/dead bugs and the smell. Had to go get a hotel. Talked to somebody at VRBO and they said I would be getting a refund.

Cozy stay in Martindale

great location
5/5 We really enjoyed the house and it's location. We came to BBQ taste, hike and kayak. We were only a few miles to all the Lockhart BBQ places. We were also only a few miles from Lockhart State Park and the Purgartory hiking trails. Also close to a number of breweries. We loved that we could walk 3 houses down the block to the downtown and had live music on Friday and Saturday nights.We loved sitting on the porch and being able to see the river. The water was still a little too cold for us to get in but was great to be able to just walk downhill to it. Wished we had brought our fishing stuff. The house had everything we needed, and we were quite comfortable.
