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!

Scott's home was the perfect place for our yoga/cleanse retreat! We had a huge patio overlooking trees, trees, trees of Texas Hill Country (no houses), lot of room and space both outside and inside the home. Big kitchen with two dining areas and an island. The master bedrooms w/ private bath were perfect. The home also has a great "vibe".. simply peaceful and serene. The trees that are scattered throughout the property do wonderful things to the sunlight. And Scott himself is a great host. He responds quickly, and is obviously interested in his guests having a great vacation! The place was well stocked with everything we needed as well!

This place is absolutely beautiful. From the spacious layout of the house to the amazing sunrise, there is nothing but comfort in this place. We had a group of nine friends from our Renaissance festival clan who came together for the last weekend river float of the season. There was plenty of room for everyone! The surprise in one room’s closets was probably the most unexpected and fun detail of this house. The hosts were super easy to get ahold of and quick to respond. We couldn’t have asked for an easier process. We are already talking about coming back for next years floats!

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).
