About this house rental
About the Property — Multiple Independent Dwellings
Our 15-acre farm has multiple separate accommodations, each rented independently:
• Three glamping domes — The Stargazer, The Jungle, and The Haven
• The Farmhouse — a 3-bedroom home
You may share the broader property with guests staying in the other dwellings. Each dome has its own private hot tub, cowboy pool, and outdoor area. A caretaker is generally onsite most days from approximately 8 AM to 4 PM to care for the animals and grounds. No caretaker lives onsite.
Heads-Up About Farm Sounds

The Farm sits on 15 quiet acres just outside San Marcos, in the heart of the Texas Hill Country. You're surrounded by farmland, wide-open skies, and dark stargazing nights — but only minutes from one of central Texas's most fun small cities.
• 11 minutes to downtown San Marcos — restaurants, shopping, the famous outlet malls, and the spring-fed San Marcos River
• 18 minutes to Gruene Hall (live music, tubing, dining)
• 20 minutes to Schlitterbahn Waterpark
• ~30 minutes to New Braunfels
• ~50 minutes to Austin
• ~60 minutes to San Antonio
The neighborhood is rural, peaceful, and beautifully starlit at night — perfect for unplugging.
A car is highly recommended — the farm is rural and most of the local attractions are a short drive away.

• The farm has roosters, goats, peacocks, an alpaca, a mini zebu, and chickens — natural farm sounds (including roosters crowing) are part of the experience.
