About this property

Cottonseed Falls I River Access, Family fun

  • Step back to a bygone era where families had a slower pace of life and could genuinely enjoy the company of those closest to them. Without the distractions of the busy lifestyles that are so prevalent today, they enjoyed the sound of river flowing by and the gentle breezes off the water while sipping a tall glass of iced tea on the porch and watching the kids play on the lawn. If that sounds too good to be true, you haven’t visited the Retreat at Cottonseed Falls yet!

    This family homestead located on one of the most spectacular spots on the San Marcos River was built in 1920 and has been in the family of the current owners now since 1950. Lovingly restored and brought into modern times by the very people that were raised within the walls, the history and sense of peace and pride that permeate the space is apparent to all that enter.

    Inside the home are three private bedrooms and a large bunk room each with comfortable bedding and relaxing atmosphere. There are three separate living areas making this space an ideal location not only for family getaways but small corporate retreats as well. The kitchen is completely modern and can provide as much inspiration for any budding designers as any show on HGTV! The best parts to many are the small details throughout the home. From the hand painted saw on the entry wall that has been a part of this home’s history for as long as anyone can remember, to the family cattle brand painted on the floor of the living room. Every room has such a storied history and interesting features that everyone that visits will constantly discover something new.

    As if the inside were not enough, the outdoor space is an absolute treasure. The 800 square feet of deck overlooks a luscious lawn perfect for a friendly game of touch football or simply throwing a Frisbee around. The spectacular beauty of the river is mesmerizing. The gentle curves and the majestic trees towering above make this place very special indeed. A fire pit has been added to the riverbank for an evening of s’mores and tall tales, and an outdoor shower installed near the porch for any river dippers.

    You will be able to marvel at the night sky without all the city lights competing with the stars and the sounds of nature soothe the soul. We hope that you create as many memories and that this place touches your heart as much as it has the family that has allowed us to share it. After a stay at The Retreat at Cottonseed Falls, we know it will become a favorite destination for years to come.
