Cool Cottage close to Bobcat Stadium, Texas State and San Marcos River!

Relax and enjoy our charming cottage located just one mile from Bobcat Stadium and 5 minutes from Texas State University and the crystal clear San Marcos River. We are nestled on a three acre hilltop within a quiet gated community. Hilltop Sunset Cottage is filled with antiques and can accommodate up to six guests. It boasts 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, dining room with wood burning fireplace, living room, large screened-in porch and multiple outdoor living areas with breath-taking sunset views. Kitchen features a new convection/traditional electric stove, colorful Fiestaware, and anything else a chef might need! Sip your coffee on the shady front porch in the Adarondack chairs or wooden swing. Enjoy your favorite beverage rocking in the large teak rockers on the deck while watching the deer and birds feeding at sunset. The backyard features a regulation horseshoe pit and a children's playscape. After a day filled with outdoor activities, exploring downtown San Marcos and dining at one of our wonderful restaurants, you may be entertained by our selection of vintage games and toys. We are the perfect location for a multi-generational family retreat, families of Texas State students and Alumni returning for a visit!

TXST orientation
This property was perfect for our visit to TXST! The location was in very close proximity and it was very easy to be on campus within just a few minutes. The cottage is so cute and has a lot of character. It was perfect for our family. We will be back.

Lovely stay
What a comfy quaint hideaway in beautiful San Marcos. Fully stocked kitchen and awesome screened in porch with an even better back porch! We spent most of the time here playing cards and enjoying each other’s company. This is an excellent place to unwind and unplug! Very comfy beds and plus plus with the washer and dryer in the unit. We highly recommend this property and Pam was a very gracious host!
