About Rustic Barnyard – A Micro-Farm Resort in the Texas Hill Country

Rustic Barnyard is more than a place to stay—it’s a micro-farm boutique resort experience rooted in intentional hospitality and the simple rhythms of life in the Texas Hill Country.

Located on 5.5 peaceful acres in San Marcos, Texas, just minutes from Texas State University and the iconic San Marcos River, Rustic Barnyard offers a unique blend of boutique cabin stays and hands-on micro-farm experiences.

Here, guests don’t just check in…

👉 They slow down

👉 They reconnect

👉 They experience something real

🌿 A Stay That Feels Different

Our property features one thoughtfully designed residence and five private cabins, each curated with rustic charm and modern comfort.

But what truly sets Rustic Barnyard apart isn’t just the cabins…

👉 It’s the experience.

Wake up to the sounds of chickens roaming the property, watch the goats greet the morning, and enjoy peaceful oak groves that invite you to rest, reflect, and reconnect.

This is what we call intentional hospitality—where every detail is designed to create meaningful moments.
