Stay on 15 Private Acres in San Marcos
The Farm Texas is a genuine working farm — 15 acres of rolling Texas Hill Country just outside San Marcos, where alpacas, goats, and mini cows share the pastures with guests who came here to slow down. You're 11 minutes from downtown San Marcos, the spring-fed San Marcos River, and the Premium Outlets. Austin is about 45–50 minutes north. San Antonio is roughly an hour south on I-35.
The setting does something that a hotel in town can't: it actually puts space between you and wherever you drove from. Morning coffee on the deck while the animals graze, a hot tub soak after a long day of outlet shopping or river tubing, a sky dark enough to remind you the Milky Way still exists — that's the short version of what a stay here looks like.
Both rental options live on the same farm, so whether you book the big Farmhouse for a family reunion or a dome for a romantic anniversary, the backdrop is the same 15 private acres. No resort common areas, no neighboring rooms, no shared anything you didn't choose.
