- "This place was perfect for our trip to San Marcos. Would definitely stay there again." - "We stay in VRBO homes frequently. The hilltop cottage is one of our very favorites. The owners pay careful attention to all the small details. Ice, water, coffee and fixings were available to us.

Loved everything about this cozy home."

- "The Palmer’s Guest House is super cute and was perfect for my son and I to visit my other son who is a student at Tx State. It’s close to the square, the San Marcos River, and many historic homes. We loved it!" - "Easily accessible, nestled in a cozy private spot. You wouldn't even know this place existed even though it's located walking distance to the square." - "The shower stall was a bit of a tight fit to get into, but the overall space was very efficiently used. Driveway was a pain, caution is strongly advised! We knew we were in a smallish town when other drivers stopped to let us out! No kitchenette, but we knew that going in. Definitely needs a soundproof door to the next door office of Palmer's Restaurant. Considering the age of the space, it might not be possible... All in all an enjoyable stay! Thank ya'll!!!!!"

Welcome to Mosaic! A growing collection of boutique cabinas nestled in the heart of the Hill Country. Enveloped by Live Oak and Mesquite, it's hard to believe you're just 12 minutes from Texas State University, downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos River.

We are tucked away in the Hill Country, surrounded by dense forest and a blanket of stars at night. These boutique stays are perfect for anyone who wants all the privacy of the outdoors coupled with the convenience of being close to town.

- "Loved this cozy secluded cabin! Was clean and easy to get to. Just minutes from town and 30min give or take from floating the river." - "My family and I fully enjoyed every minute at the Hill Country Cottage in the woods, our experience at this pretty and charming house was like staying in an enchanted cottage in a magic forest." - "The place was secluded and quiet but not far from TXST, where we went to visit our daughter." - "The house itself was very rustic.There were both good and bad. The bed downstairs was comfortable. The place itself looked clean until you moved a piece of furniture and found trash underneath the couch. The yard guys came and cut the grass on the 2nd morning, which was needed. Just something that should have been done beforehand.I can say the check out was easy and pain free. Where the property fell short was in the communication. The first day the toilet, bathroom sink as well as the kitchen sink were not draining. I reached out to the telephone # and got no response. I texted, still nothing. I even went on the website and received no answer. When my daughter came after graduation, we had the guys pee outside. That was a bit much. Please do a better job of communicating."

Everything was already inside the rental that we needed to cook, also has the cutest spot to build a small campfire which we fell in love with. There is nothing negative that we can say about our stay, the hosts were very informative and communicative. We had such a great time during our stay! Definitely will be coming back on our next vacation." - "This is a perfect-off the beaten path getaway. It is close enough to the city to enjoy its conveniences but just far enough away to feel you’ve escaped. The house was eclectic and comfortable.

There's a propane grill and also a charcoal bbq pit. Please bring charcoal and lighter fluid. All fires must be put out before you walk away, and you should check to see if the burn ban is off before starting a fire.

Parking: There's plenty of parking available in the driveway for four vehicles. Please don't park in the street or in the yard/grass because we have a septic tank and drain field that your vehicle could damage.

Let's discuss dogs: We do allow dogs (up to 2 and they are $40 per dog, per stay) but no aggressive breeds, please. Pet owners are responsible for their animals at all times. Please pick up after them.

We reserve the right to charge extra for any pet hair in our duvets, Please NO PETS IN OUR BEDS.

Pets must also be on a leash at ALL times when outdoors.

• We respect guests’ privacy. Charles will most likely bring you cookies if we're in town. Other than that, you're on your own unless you need our support. Please give us time to respond.
Be sure to set Airbnb notification alerts to On.

• Please do keep in mind that this is Wimberley, and this neighborhood literally grew up from campsites in the early '70s to what it is today. It's funky and wonderful, and there's no better place to get in the river than one of our two waterfront parks – a few minutes' walk in either direction from the cottage.

• Here's your chance to wade and float, fish and swim in the Beautiful Blanco River, and literally walk back and forth to your cottage for a nap in between trips. We provide guests with a key to the parks if they want to drive in with all their stuff, or you can walk into either park with the key. Wimberley has no public access to the Blanco River except for hosts like us who live on the river or have a place near the river with access. Cottage guests have access to our two neighborhood parks. We don't own the river frontage in front of the cottage, so please don't use it.

• There's a simple method that makes opening and closing the hot tub a snap! Simply walk up to the hot tub, open the lid - which sandwiches the metal bar between the two halves - standing at the side, push the metal bar with the cover on it off toward the back. The cover hangs off the back of the spa on the metal bar. The cover never touches the ground!

• We’re 3.2 miles to the Wimberley downtown square; four miles to Market Days, 1/4 mile to Old Glory Ranch.

Guest access
You'll have access to this entire house and hot tub and space to park four cars on the concrete driveway.

To get to one of our two delightful neighborhood parks, grab your park key and walk out the cottage front door. Turn right on Edgewater Drive. Walk about 100 paces to the gate that says "no trespassing." This is where you'll go in because you're our guest! Be sure to lock the gate behind you whether you walk in or drive in.

The river lot across the street from the cottage isn't ours, so please follow the directions above for river access. Please note, you must exit the parks no later than dusk each day or you could be escorted out by a HOA board member in the neighborhood.

The large park located at River Road and Edgewater is fascinating with million-year-old crustaceans in the dry riverbed. Notice how the water has carved out the river. Every foot of river frontage in these parks is different and special. You can walk into the river at the southeast point of the park. Look for the rope swing at the southwest point of the large park. It's where the water is deeper and that gorgeous, emerald color. Blue Hole has nothing compared to our deep hole!

There's no riverfront access for this cottage other than the two beautiful, private community riverfront parks.

We do not allow any events or venues. This is a neighborhood, and we respect our neighbors and want them to enjoy where they live.

Another reason for only eight night/day guests, besides the park only allowing 10 guests per household in our parks, is our septic system. It's important for our guests to know about a septic system and what is required when a home has a septic system compared to city systems. They cannot take heavy usage - no feminine products or "flushable wipes" of any kind or Kleenex. ONLY toilet paper may be flushed.

We also have whole house water softeners for our homes and guests. Because of this, our washing machines require less laundry detergent. Please add no more than 1 tablespoon per laundry load. Thank you.

The housekeeper and/or maintenance person checks to make sure the park key is left at the house.

Looking forward to hosting you!

The ranch boasts a nature trail, fairy tree, labyrinth, occasionally a seasonal herb and vegetable garden, peacocks, chickens, ducks, and goats. We are also an eco-friendly property that harvests rainwater and solar energy, recycles and composts.

The hilltop of our 40-acre property is shared by cottage guests, our Manor house group rental, long term residents, farm animals and the nature trail. The lower part is home to our neighbor, The Wildflower Event Center.

Guest access
The Lantana cottage has its own parking in front of the cottage. While the cottage and its yard are private, the nature trail, animals, gardens and Hill Country sunsets are also on the property for all guests and residents to enjoy!

Other things to note
This property is located in the beautiful Texas Hill Country, and, with nature, there sometimes comes a price! While all of our accommodations receive regular pest control & deep cleaning, it is not uncommon to come across a spider, Rolly poly
or even a scorpion. We are also a property with free roaming peacocks & chickens, so if someone in your party is particularly afraid of bugs or animals or has severe animal related allergies, you may find that this is not a good fit.

In addition, like all of the Wimberley Valley, we are on a septic system and the Edwards Aquifer, which requires that we are very careful with our water usage. We ask that our guests be conscientious of our plumbing and resources.

Spa & Wellness services will need to be arranged by guests directly with the wellness practitioner. We will provide a list after booking and we always encourage this to be done with as much advance notice as possible to ensure they are able to accommodate your request.
