About this house rental
You haven’t experienced a Texas Sunrise until you’ve seen it from deck at the House on Cox Hill. This Texas Hill Country gem is situated on 6 secluded acres just minutes from San Marcos and Texas State University. Invite your family and friends to join you in this unique property nestled in towering oaks featuring a Texas-sized deck that offers some of the best hill country views in the state. Built to entertain big crowds, the house features 4 bedrooms with 3 king sized beds and 1 queen bed. Additionally, there are 2 pull-out couches which offer plenty of sleeping space for your family and friends. Also included are 3 full baths, family room with massive fire place, den/study, kitchen with breakfast nook and formal dining room and plenty of parking for all. The water supplied to the house is from a filtered well from the Edward’s Aquifer.
Bring your camera to capture memories of your family and friends next to the alien spacecraft (a popular attraction featured in the San Marcos Newspaper!) or just enjoying the serene setting of the expansive deck overlooking the hill country. And don’t forget some of the local attractions just a few minutes away including:
- Downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos river (a fun, quick tube float for the little ones!) 4.5 miles
- New Braunfels is just 30 minutes away as is Gruene – home of one of the most famous Dance Halls in Texas and some great dining and shopping
- The World famous San Marcos Outlet Mall is a 15 minute drive
- Austin is 30 miles to the North and just a quick trip up I35
- The Circuit of the Americas Race Track is just 30 miles Northeast
We find most people get to the inviting house in its tranquil setting and just want to stay at home and enjoy making memories with family and friends in the ambiance of the House on Cox Hill. We don’t have many rules but here are the musts: Must be at least 25 years old to rent. Must not have more than 16 guests at any time. Must not smoke in the house. Must have a great time and call us if we can do anything to make your stay memorable and comfortable.
We look forward to seeing you soon!

We have rented this nest for nature lovers for the past three months for a monthly yoga / health / cleanse retreat we do - that is how much we love it there and how kind and accommodating the folks are the manage the property. It's old Texas style - make sure your guests and comfortable and cared for and then leave them alone to enjoy themselves. They are also very prompt in taking care of everything and anything special request or assistance with anything. They simply show that they care about your experience there :) But you know the difference in the feeling of being "managed" and "welcomed" - they truly make you feel welcomed! Like they actually want you to enjoy yourself and the property! Simply kind and accommodating. The property itself is the best I have rented for my small group retreats and the amply house accommodates the 5 or 6 that join us. Two master bathrooms is a big hit, two dining areas, a fireplace, a cozy - country feeling and trees for as far as the eyes can see!We really appreciate this place and Scott who manages it - always making us feel carried and cared for... it is perfect a property and home for our group in all ways.

Very nice and spacious house. Needs cleaning and some updates; (kitchen pots and pans need replacement; closet areas need more organizing and housekeeping; some furniture needs dusting).
