Welcome to the Rustic Barnyard (dotcom) in SMTX! Our mini-farm features a hand-built enclave of homes, agricultural spaces, and wildflowers. Enjoy the sights of roaming chickens, pecking guinea hens, and baaing goats. Stay in our secluded log cabin, constructed with cordwood from the original owner's cedar trees. Trust us when we say, this cabin is full of unique history and rustic charm. The space This unique cabin has amazing history and was built by the original owner with the very cedar trees found on the property! The cabin features a fully stocked kitchen with a coffee bar, a dining area (with all the cabin feels), a living room with a 45” T.V., a walk-in shower for two, a washer and dryer on site, and a single romantic bedroom with a queen sized bed and a dressing area. It has two ornately designed spacious covered porches; a front porch to swing away your worries while you enjoy your morning coffee and a rear porch to sit back and relax while soaking in a mermaid inspired claw foot tub while enjoying the sound and sights of nature and a glass of wine to help you unwind. There is a lovely wildflower garden with the tranquil sound of trickling water from a goldfish and lily pad filled fountain/pond. Need to indulge in a campfire with S’mores…we’ve got you covered! Two oversized wooden Adirondack chairs surround the campfire and there’s also a hammock for two hanging in the trees that can be found adjacent to the pond. Let the array of twinkling lights bedazzle you each night with lighted designed pathways and arches. Free parking on the side of the cabin. Wheelchair accessible. Discounts available for extended stays. If your dates are unavailable, see the three other cabins on our Host Profile! When you drive through the gate, you'll discover a magical place; a compound of family and friends who share a love of small yield farming and the peace and quiet of the country life. For a peaceful evening, build a fire in your fire pit (we provide the wood) and on a clear night-be mesmerized by the abundance of stars. Want more? We're just 7 miles from Texas State University and Downtown San Marcos with its college-fired entertainment options that include great food & pub options as well as fun trekking and tubing opportunities. We highly recommend The Flying Armadillo; a highly rated disc golf club that is fun for all levels! And there is also world-class shopping at San Marcos's famous Premium Outlets, which feature more than 240 stores! We're also just a hop, jump, and a skip away from New Braunfels (for those summer day trips to Schlitterbahn) and the charming historic city of Gruene (check out the Gruene Hall-Texas’ oldest dance hall built in 1878). Those seeking the big city lights can be in Austin or San Antonio in 45 minutes. Guest access Guests have access to the entire property, though we of course request that you use common sense and respect the privacy of the other guests staying here. ***There are four additional cottages on site…so we’re hoping you’ll want to return and try them all!!! Other things to note You'll have access to a well stocked kitchen with everything you need for cooking a tasty meal. But Uber eats will deliver as well! **Washer/dryer available inside the cottage** Parking is available in front of the Rustic Cordwood Cottage and is accessible by following the dirt road on the right side of the property.
