Extraordinary Plantation-Style Home on 4 Acres, Blending Rustic & Modern Styles

Bedroom # 1 (King & Sofa Sleeper), Bedroom # 2 (King), Bedroom # 3 (King), Bedroom # 4 (King), Bedroom # 5 (2 Queens)

Extraordinary 4,000 sq ft plantation-style vacation home that blends the best of rustic and contemporary styles in a private setting. Southern Charm is located on the southwest side of San Marcos, Texas down a long-shaded driveway tucked back in a grove of tall oak trees. San Marcos is centrally located between Austin, San Antonio, and New Braunfels making the list of nearby activities endless.

Enter to the intimate sitting area with brandy leather chairs strategically placed in front of the bar stocked with stemware. Walk in farther to the cozy living area that has a massive 12-foot long sectional sofa, 65” Smart TV, and wood-burning fireplace. Just off this room is the fully stocked country kitchen with double islands, stainless appliances, and ice maker. Just off the kitchen is the elegant dining area that has a 9-foot solid pine dining table that seats 10 placed beside another wood-burning fireplace. Also located on the first floor is one full bathroom offering a walk-in shower and a bedroom that has two queen size beds.

Make your way upstairs to the enormous master bedroom. The king size bed sits opposite of the sitting area that has a queen size sofa sleeper and a 55” Smart TV. There is also a door leading out to the upstairs deck, a luxuriously done walk-in closet, and ensuite bathroom with jetted tub and walk-in shower. There are three more bedrooms located upstairs, each with a king size bed. Also, upstairs is one more full bathroom with a bathtub/shower.

The outside grounds are absolutely magical! Enjoy a morning cup of coffee swinging on the long front porch. Watch the kids swim from the fully shaded upstairs deck with steps right to the pool. Or cool off in the swimming pool complete with shallow sitting pool great for toddlers to play and splash in. Surrounding the pool are 4 chaise lounges, a picnic table, and an outdoor dining table that seats 6. There are commonly red birds and hummingbirds fluttering around and deer grazing in the field. This property has such a peaceful atmosphere, a great place to relax and recharge!

WHAT WE LOVE ABOUT THIS HOME
- The back yard is securely fenced has lots of mature trees and is very shaded.
- Pool can be heated in winter (additional fee applies). The pool must be heated for the entirety of the reservation.
- Every bed in the house has a new 14-inch thick, medium-firm, memory foam mattress.
- The large upstairs deck has been fully screened-in providing a bug-free area to relax and enjoy the outdoors.
- Tons of activities 15 minutes away or less including the San Marcos Outlet Malls, Schlitterbahn Waterpark, Gruene Hall, and San Marcos River.

It WAS charming!
The property was practically perfect for our family! Quiet, semi secluded, beautifully decorated and the beds…all the beds were amazingly comfortably! Having 2 fridges was so helpful and the kitchen had everything! We spent as much time as possible in the pool since our stay was in June.

Southern Charm was great
Property was all that was promised! Our group was three sets of our family members and Southern Charm was perfect for all of us! Everybody enjoyed the king sized beds in all but one bedroom (and that one has two queen beds!) One more bathroom upstairs would be nice, but we managed with a little planning as to when showers were taken. We felt like we were home!

Our group of ladies have booked this property. Each of us travel from different areas of Texas & find the location to be a perfect destination for all. The house fits our group & the pool makes even the brutal heat bearable. I'm sure we will book again for next year.

Hill Country Paradise Retreat
Our family — my husband, our three young boys, and my brother and his wife and daughters — absolutely loved this house! Plenty of space for everyone, comfortable beds and linens, well appointed rooms, stocked kitchen. The pool is gorgeous and clean and the outdoor set up is spectacular. The hot tub was spotless and functioning well. We adore this property and can’t wait to stay here again!

Absolutely Amazing
We loved our 2 night stay at this Southern Charm property. Everything was clean and decorations were beautiful. The beds were so very comfortable. Location was perfect with a country feeling but just a 5 min drive into town. The kids had a great time in the pool. We look forward to booking this place next year for our annual family get together

Wonderful quiet vacation
We had a wonderful time at this property. The owner was VERY responsive to any questions we had. The home was full of every thing you could possibly need. The first thing I noticed was how clean it smelt and felt upon arrival, which is even more important these days. We had a wonderful trip and will absolutely use this property again if we return to the area.
