Nestled in the center of San Marcos, at the gateway to the magical Texas Hill Country, lies the historic Crystal River Inn. Just 5 blocks from the crystal-clear San Marcos River, and 2 blocks from the town square, we are the only hotel in downtown within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and nightlife. You’ll have your choice of 8 listings offering 10 rooms in 2 historic houses, each listing with its own private bathroom and unique features. *****The inn is under new ownership and is no longer a traditional bed & breakfast. It is important to note there is no longer breakfast available. *** Please be aware there is a potential for noise, as we are downtown in the middle of all the action, but that is exactly why the location can't be beat!

Our guests love catching live music in the evenings next door at San Marcos' most popular hang-out spot & bar, Zelick's Icehouse, walking to the weekend farmer's market and shopping on the square, or enjoying dinner and cocktails on Palmer's serene patio. During the warmer months, our guests' favorite activity is cooling off by floating the city's crystal-clear spring-fed river.
