Room for the Whole Group
Most vacation rentals are designed for four or six people. This one is built for the big trips — the whole-family reunions, the multi-generational birthdays, the group getaways where splitting up across three separate Airbnbs defeats the whole point. The farmhouse at The Farm Texas sleeps 12 guests across 3 bedrooms and 6 beds (2.5 baths), with a full kitchen, a game room stocked with a pool table, shuffleboard, and poker table, and a seasonal covered-deck hot tub for when the sun goes down.
Need a little overflow space? The three glamping domes are right on the property — The Jungle sleeps up to 4, while The Haven and The Stargazer each sleep 2. Between the farmhouse and the domes, you can comfortably host around 20 guests while still all sharing the same 15-acre farm. Everyone gets their own space; everyone ends up around the same fire pit.
The farm sits just 11 minutes from San Marcos and the Premium Outlets, 20 minutes from Schlitterbahn, 18 minutes from historic Gruene, and about 45–50 minutes from Austin. It's close enough to be convenient, far enough that the moment you turn off the main road, the city disappears completely.
Why Families & Groups Choose The Farm
Room for the Whole Crew
The farmhouse sleeps 12 across 3 bedrooms and 6 beds — no squeezing in, no overflow hotel nights. Add the glamping domes and the whole property can host around 20 guests.
A Real Kitchen
Cook big family breakfasts on the full oven and induction range, pack lunches to go, or grill on the deck. No fighting over a microwave like a hotel.
Game Room & Hot Tub
Pool table, shuffleboard, poker table, and big TVs keep the crew busy after dinner. The seasonal covered-deck hot tub is waiting when everyone's ready to unwind.
Animals & Outdoors
Alpacas, goats, mini horses, mini cows, peacocks, and chickens call this farm home. Kids can feed them and collect fresh eggs — and the catch-and-release ponds are fun for all ages (BYO poles).
Easy to Get To
Just 11 minutes from San Marcos and the Premium Outlets, 20 minutes from Schlitterbahn, 18 minutes from historic Gruene, and about 45–50 minutes from Austin.
Pets Welcome
Traveling with a dog? The farmhouse and The Stargazer dome are pet-friendly (around $200 pet fee — confirm at booking). No need to leave a family member behind.
Kids Love the Animals
The Farm is a working farm, which means the morning entertainment writes itself. The resident crew includes alpacas, Nigerian Dwarf goats, mini horses, mini cows, peacocks, and chickens. Kids can feed them, collect fresh eggs from the chickens, and wander the pastures at their own pace. Smaller children love the gentle goats and mini horses; older kids tend to make a beeline for the alpacas.
When the animals aren't enough, the catch-and-release ponds are a hit with all ages. Bring your own fishing poles and spend an afternoon seeing what bites. It's the kind of low-key outdoor time that has a way of turning into everyone's favorite part of the trip — no theme park required.
Pair the animals with 15 private acres to wander, a fire pit for evening s'mores, and dark skies that actually show the Milky Way, and you have the building blocks of the trip kids will keep talking about for years. See our things to do page for the full list of on-farm and nearby activities.
Great for Reunions, Birthdays & Milestone Trips
Multi-Generational Families
Grandparents on the porch, kids chasing goats, parents in the hot tub — the farmhouse gives everyone a role and a place to be.
Family Reunions
One house, one kitchen, one fire pit. No coordinating between three hotels. With the domes as overflow, you can host the whole branch of the family tree in one place.
Big Birthday Weekends
Game room tournaments, farm animals on demand, and a hot tub for the birthday crew. The farmhouse from $168/night beats renting a resort event space.
