The Bohemian - A Hill Country Cottage

Welcome to Mosaic! A collection of boutique cabins nestled in the heart of the Hill Country.

With all of this peace and quiet it's hard to believe you're just 12 minutes from Texas State University, downtown San Marcos and the San Marcos River.

We hope the blanket of stars at night and the stillness of the Hill Country leaves you feeling rejuvenated and content.
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.

Great Place to Stay

The property was a great getaway out of the city! We stayed for one night after spending the day floating and it was perfect.

We didn't want to leave!

This property was clean and put together in such a thoughtful manner. We stayed for multiple days and noticed something cute and different each day. Check in and out was a breeze. Next time, I'm bringing the family. I definitely recommend this place with *****.

Cute

We experienced different insects and had a nice quiet stay. The only thing that can improve is being able to find the location in the dark. The signage could use updated and maybe some outside lights.

Cute character but....

Its got character. Its got nature. Its got a fun layout. But, for the price, the very least a host can do is the following: 1) keep the immediate grounds cleaned up prior to guest arrivals- trash on the ground, 2) Keep the shampoo and conditioner filled up and available, 3) ensure there are no holes in the exterior that bugs can get into (see wall AC unit in loft.)

Absolutely wonderful!

What a lovely property. Comfortable seating areas, beds, and amenities. The host dropped off a welcome gift and my party stayed up all night, giggling and having fun. The loft above the living room with 2 twin beds is perfect for children (or adventurous adults), and the master bedroom is cozy and cute. We loved the record player and records. Air conditioning was great, especially considering the heat wave. When you go to sleep, you can see the stars from the loft window and the only sounds are the cicadas. A word of warning: be prepared for outside bugs who try to come in the door. Also, it's a bit confusing to find -- the map app has you go down a super long dirt road. Trust the process and don't worry, the house is along the road and you will see it when you get there.

The drive to the cottage was a bit of a challenge in a small car. Rock roads with ruts made the car drag in some parts. The grass needed to be cut, the outside chairs needed cl cleaning cleaningcleanungcleaning
