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.

8 / 10Excellent·Jul 2026
The main house was very comfortable and suited our needs well. We made our meals and ate in the house or at the table under the gazebo. Our older grandkids (ages 15-25) stayed in the bunkhouse and loved their privacy and time together. They said the beds were very comfortable, but would have love an attached bath. The River Casita was not as we had hoped. There was an odd smell which they quickly came to help neutralize, but the main problem was the bunk beds. For my 5’2” frame, I fit fine, but my husband’s 6’ frame barely fit laying corner to corner. The mattresses were not as nice as most were throughout the property. Overall, it was quite rustic, but having the extra bath was a must for our large group, so it still served our needs. Jesse was extremely responsive to any requests we had and responded quickly to meet our needs, both as we prepared to come and while we were at the property. Having access to the river and dock entry were great and the pool a great place to relax and cool off in the heat.

This is a very unique place to stay with all the sleeping options. Great location between Austin and San Antonio, the pool area is amazing place to hang with the family. The host's are very responsive if you have any questions. Would definitely stay again.
