About this house rental

Hilco is our family's stretch of the San Marcos River. The name is short for Hill Country Wellness Estate, and the setting earns it.

The water here is spring fed, clear and cool year round, with a private dock that belongs to your group for the length of your stay. There is no public access nearby. Most afternoons the only traffic is a kayaker drifting past.

Three separate homes sit on the property, a main house and two casitas, so a large group can gather without living on top of one another. Between them: a pool and hot tub, a fire pit, a functional fitness gym in the workshop, and long tables built for the kind of dinner that runs past dark.

We are a family of six. We built Hilco around the way we actually travel: everyone together when it matters, and a door to close when it doesn't.

The property worked perfectly for our group!

Had a great Thanksgiving break with our families - house is off the beaten path right on the river. Lot of room, separate bunk house is pretty cool and we used the outdoor seating at the table and the hot tub quite a bit (too cold to use pool). Jesse is very, very responsive. We have a college age child living in San Marcos so definitely plan to return here for family gatherings.
