About this property

Both country quiet & outdoor living -mins to Stadium, Texas State & the SM River

Texas Tranquility Apartment - Driving down the windy country road, past the horse and cow filled fields, in a near tunnel of trees, you find this country chic detached above garage apartment suite. Opportunities of wildlife viewing and stargazing await you!

In the country, what we lack in street lights, we gain in big sky and stars!

Located near the hustle and bustle of San Marcos, however able to enjoy a slice of country quiet. Just 4 miles (7 minutes) to the college stadium, convenient access to the Outlet Malls and the beautiful San Marcos River. Approximately 37 minutes to Austin, 30 minutes to New Braunfels, Gruene, Wimberley, Canyon Lake, and Dripping Springs.

Outside the apartment is a cozy shared (with another short-term rental, first come first serve basis) courtyard, featuring a full entertainment gazebo with solar lighting, two areas for grilling, two outdoor eating tables, ambiance, and enough room for yard games, and so much more! Note: Want the courtyard to yourself or need additional sleeping space, we have other short term rentals available on site. Ask about availability.

Inside the 600 square foot suite (above the Garage), the Texas Tranquility suite provides an environment to feel right at home!

The living area includes a bar top table ready for either a quick breakfast or an intimate dinner time meal! Kitchen includes all NEW appliances such as a microwave, sink, refrigerator, toaster, and coffeemaker. (please note: no stove/oven)

The main suite living area includes a queen-size tempur-pedic bed, a queen-size pull-out couch, and an area for an additional blow-up mattress (a twin blow up mattress is also included for your convenience). The 55 inch flat screen TV can be viewed from most angles within the suite.

In a separate small area, you will find a cozy nook with a full size pull-out futon for that extra guest!

Suite includes one full bath with a walk-in shower (please note: no tub).

Whether you are here for an active football game, (GO Bobcats!), a graduation, tubing the scenic nearby river, visiting the San Marcos downtown hot spots, or just conveniently passing through - this is the perfect stay for you!

CHECK-IN/CHECK-OUT: Check-in is at 3pm (doors will be locked until check-in time unless a pre approved early check-in has been given) and Check-out is at Noon. Please be cautious when driving to and from the apartment. Due to being in the country we have an abundance of deer, critters, and natural wildlife that are very active.

SHARED COURTYARD: The shared courtyard area is outdoors that is fenced in. this courtyard is shared with another short term rental unit. Our property is across the street from over a 1000 acres. This allows our area to enjoy some much appreciated quiet and wildlife. We ask that if you eat or grill outside, when you discard your food and items in the garbage, you close the garbage lid down tight. Wildlife gets hungry too!!

About the host

Hosted by Adam Lane

Host profile image
Adam and Amy Lane are both Austin area transplants.  Adam spent most of his life in New Orleans (Geaux Saints!), while Amy spent most of her life in New Hampshire (Go Patriots!).  Although they are from two different ends of the country, in 2010, they met and fell in love in the Austin area.  Both love the outdoors, floating the river, taking a boat on the Lake, antiquing, and many other adventures the area brings. We would welcome the opportunity to host your next visit!
