I liked the location and the alternative “room type.” I also liked the privacy and ability to sit outside and enjoy the natural environment of San Marcos, TX. I did not like that the location of my reservation was so close to the the roadway that you could hear busy traffic.

This property was perfect!! The people were extremely kind! My husband and I stayed in the smallest container they had and it was just right for what we needed. I do wish there had been a chair for sitting and drinking coffee or even just to put your shoes on. Haha! Next time we will get a bigger place! I truly like that there were people on site in case you needed anything. The owner Max has really made this property one that you will go back to!!

This is a cute and unique property with several cabins and container housing options. I stayed in a container cabin and it was great for one person. It may be tight for two but it was super cute and well designed. I didn't get a chance to enjoy the pool or river but it looks like a great place to enjoy the sun and water.

Fun getaway

We enjoyed our stay at the Melrose. Such a fun and unique property. We enjoyed the bar area by the pool. All staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful. The tiny home was cute, clean, and practical. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were so thick they hurt my neck. We found that the living room gets very cold but not the bedroom. Overall great stay!

Amazing property !

This is our second stay at Melrose river club in the same year we LOVE IT They do a Text system to ask for things and they are ON IT! Such a great property and staff ! Only small complaint is the bed is a bit hard for my taste some deep cushiony mattress pads would solve that ! We love it here and will continue to stay if we are in San Marcus :)

Last Minute booking

Spotless. The bed quality was amazing, the split AC unit was so great. The water Pressure was amazing. Parking right outside the unit. I noticed that the unit had an outdoor shower, which would be great if you use the pool, or access to the river. I know this is a new facility so check it out.

Melrose River Club is a very nice new property

We enjoyed our stay at this property. It felt private, new, clean and comfortable. We were moving our daughter out of her apartment in San Marcos and it was very convenient. Would definitely recommend

Amazing property with great amenities. Our shower would heat for about 2 minutes and then that was all the hot water you got. There was a warning label that tiny homes hold 20 gallons of hot water but I expected to at least be able to take a hot shower greater than 2 minutes.

An amazing getaway to getaway. We were the first official guest and felt like we were home. The cabin wad great as well as the complimentary wine and Shakutari board. The owner (Max) and beautiful staff members made us feel great and was willing to help make our stay better in any way. This review does the experience we had no justice if you don't go and participate in the nature enrich location.
