If your spring travels take you anywhere near Austin or San Antonio, don't miss beautiful San Marcos, one of the crown jewels of the Hill Country. At the headwaters of the crystal-clear San Marcos River, San Marcos is home to nature theme parks, world-class shopping at two massive factory outlets, whitewater sports, Texas State University, picturesque historic districts, merry festivals, wineries, theater, and food. And of  course, it is home to the Dillon family's Crystal River Inn, one of the oldest and most famous inns in Texas.  

 

 

Welcome....

to our romantic 1883 Victorian inn and garden complex. 12 rooms in 3 buildings surround a garden with roses, fountains, and beautiful old pecan trees. The designer rooms have appeared in numerous publications such as Country Inns, Southern Living, and USA Today. Features include fireplaces, canopied beds, luxurious tubs, TV's, phones, sitting rooms, and horsedrawn carriage rides. Breakfasts are headliner events--Eggs Benedict, Bananas Foster crepes, and raspberry French toast. Fun theme weekends include romance getaways, ladies' shopping adventures, river trips, and original murder mysteries. Come along as we dish up some tasty Hill Country flavor!

Lakes, rivers, scenic drives, and a grand assortment of other tourism highlights including Austin, San Antonio, Wimberley, Fredericksburg, and New Braunfels

 

 

Why stay in an ordinary freeway motel when you can have so much more for the same price? We are just like home…and, we’re wireless!

 

 

We are known for our great packages, which include weddings,  catered corporate events, mysteries, romantic interludes, gourmet picnics, river trips, and "girlfriends only" excursions to San Marcos' world-famous outlet malls

We have two more hilarious weekends left in our spring mystery series, each with a bit of room.  Celebrate a late Valentine's on Feb. 22-23, or join a Spring Break River Party mystery on March 14-15.  Lots of fun and laughter guaranteed.


A whole year's worth of Hill Country fun.

The 2008 Spring Mystery Series began with sold-out January events and continues on   Feb.22-23 and March 14-15.  Grab someone fun and come laugh all weekend.  We still need four to six people for the 22-23, so call and let's make a deal!  Mysteries in August through November will follow.

Bandera Riverside Lodge: is now booking for spring and summer dates. On the edge of the beautiful Medina River, it is such a peaceful and beautiful place. Come for bluebonnet season! Base rate is $150 per day and it holds up to 10 people.

Weddings and Special Events: great 2008 dates are still available. Every year we do numerous corporate parties, weddings, and family gatherings under our beautiful heated, twinkle-lighted party tent. If your guests are from both the Austin and San Antonio areas, we are perfectly located--right in the middle--and last summer we were voted "best caterer in Hays County". Let us help you celebrate!

Post-holiday sales at the Outlet Mall are in full swing.  Come save LOTS of money!! The bargains are amazing, and so is the sheer variety. Our outlet mall right here in little old San Marcos is the 3rd largest tourist attraction in Texas.

Spring Break in the Hill Country:  is far more peaceful than at the beach! Float the river, enjoy the bluebonnets, go boating on Canyon Lake, attend SXSW Music Festival in Austin, hike or wander a lot of beautiful trails, (don't) fight with the vacationing crowds. Our Bandera River Lodge is open for much of the month, as is the inn in San Marcos.
