The cabin we booked was perfect. It was at a walking distance to the office and they served breakfast tacos the weekend we stayed. The walk to the San Marcos river was maybe about 5 minutes. It was also about a 10-15 minute drive to the city but far enough that you could see the stars at night! Staff was courteous and answered any questions we had. Will definitely go again.

I absolutely adored my stay at Melrose River Club. If you’re looking for a true getaway in Texas, this is it. The luxury cabin setting right off the river feels private, peaceful, and completely removed from city life. Being able to see the stars at night, relax by the beautiful pool, and enjoy the quiet atmosphere made it feel like a personal retreat. The staff experience was warm and thoughtful, which elevated the entire stay. It’s the perfect place to reset, recharge, and escape the noise of everyday life.

We fought ants the entire time- had to eventually move all bags to the car. We were right up against a very run down trailer park- so our view was these trailers trash piles and the back of trailers. Grounds need to be kept up- they don’t look much like the pictures online anymore.
