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

Here, guests don’t just check in…

👉 They slow down

🌿 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 where you stay…

👉 It’s how you feel while you’re here.

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.
