Above and beyond happy with our stay. Everyone is so kind, and friendly. The accommodations are perfect for your home away from home. I simply can’t say enough good things about our stay & their level of care. Peaceful, quiet, location that is still close to everything you need. Plenty of great walking areas for our dogs.

We really enjoyed our stay. Far enough away from the tourists for a peaceful getaway, but close enough to drive to town when we wanted to. We never stayed in a tiny house but is was nice and cozy for my husband and I. We would definitely recommend it!

Good beds, clean and it had ice tray’s and coffee and sugar. Certainly a place where we’ll stay again when coming to float the river.

We really enjoyed our stay. Candy was very friendly and helpful. The little house was very clean and comfortable and in a beautiful spot. We came for the eclipse and after getting a glimpse of that we really enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to the frogs and crickets.

This is the second time we’ve stayed at this property for a few weeks. It’s ideal for us because it’s close to our daughter and it’s nice and quiet and we can see the stars. Candy and Larry are great hosts.

I stayed for a week with my 2 boys. So much packed into a tiny place! We loved it. It’s in a pretty rural location away from everything which I loved. The house was clean. The beds were so comfortable. My boys slept better than they do at home. My 10 year old said it was his favorite place we’ve ever stayed. Both boys said they wanted to stay all summer, ha! There is no washer/dryer on the premises, which is clearly stated in the description. That’s the only thing that would make it better. I packed accordingly and it was not a problem! Candy is a very responsive host!! Really great experience. Loved it. Hope to be back again!

We were so impressed by this property. It was clean, quiet and had everything we needed. The management was so nice and accommodating; even though it wasn't a requirement we had forgotten our crate & they provided one for our two little terriers. We will definitely be staying here again.

Great little cabin. Tiny house living. Nice spot. Friendly owner when we arrived . Bed comfortable bed. My only concern was a lack of communication. A few questions asked before we arrived and one after. No reply to questions. All else was very good.

The tiny house community is in the same neighborhood as my brother. It was great being so close to him. Thank you.

Our daughter is at Texas State and we needed a place to stay while getting her settled into her apartment, which only has one bedroom. As we were staying for close to a month, we didn’t want a hotel room. Candy and Larry’s tiny home compound was perfect. Within half an hour of San Marcos, but far enough out into the country to see the stars, the tiny home was perfect for us and even had a loft our daughter stayed in a few nights. We’ll definitely try to stay here again next year.
