The Stargazer — Stargazing Dome with Dark Hill Country Skies
King bed + full-size pull-out couch · Celestial decor and themed bathroom
About this stay
Escape to a magical stargazing retreat designed to celebrate the beauty of the night sky. Thoughtfully styled with celestial-inspired décor and cozy touches, The Stargazer is far more than a place to stay—it's an experience. Every corner, from the stunning feature wall behind the bed to the beautifully themed bathroom, has been carefully curated to create a sense of wonder, relaxation, and escape. Wake up beneath soaring ceilings, unwind under panoramic views, and spend unforgettable evenings beneath a blanket of stars. One of three luxury glamping domes on our 15-acre farm (alongside The Haven and The Jungle), The Stargazer is ideal for couples and nature lovers seeking a unique getaway that blends modern comfort with the charm of country living. About the Property — Multiple Independent Dwellings Our 15-acre farm has multiple separate accommodations, each rented independently: • Three glamping domes — The Stargazer, The Jungle, and The Haven • The Farmhouse — a 3-bedroom home You may share the broader property with guests staying in the other dwellings. Each dome has its own private hot tub, cowboy pool, and outdoor area. A caretaker is generally onsite most days from approximately 8 AM to 4 PM to care for the animals and grounds. No caretaker lives onsite. Heads-Up About Farm Sounds This is a working farm with mini goats, peacocks, chickens (including roosters that crow in the morning), an alpaca, and a mini zebu. Natural farm sounds are part of the experience. If you're noise-sensitive, please plan accordingly. Why You'll Love It • Farm Animals: Say hello to our mini goats, alpaca, mini zebu, peacocks, and chickens. • Relax & Refresh: Soak in the hot tub, cool off in the cowboy pool, or fire up the BBQ grill (charcoal is not provided — please bring your own). • Nature at Your Doorstep: Wander the farm trails, explore two stocked ponds (catch-and-release, bring your own poles), enjoy wide-open skies, and stargazing far from city lights. • Comfort Inside: A king bed, full-size pullout couch, full bathroom, dining table, games, TV, and a kitchenette. Maximum four overnight guests. Local Adventures • 18 mins to Gruene Hall for tubing, live music, and shopping • 11 mins to San Marcos for dining and more shopping • 20 mins to Schlitterbahn Waterpark Important Notes • Two ponds are catch-and-release only. Bring your own poles. Swimming only in the cowboy pool. • Other domes/farmhouse guests may be on-site. Your Dome Stay Awaits! Book now for a peaceful retreat filled with farm life, comfort, and relaxation. Neighborhood Quiet, semi-rural/residential stretch just east of I‑35 on South Old Bastrop Highway. Properties are a mix of single-family homes and small acreage lots; nearby commercial and service nodes concentrate along S IH‑35 and Wonder World Drive. Downtown San Marcos and the Texas State University campus are north (about 3–4 miles). The area sits within Hays County and has a Texas small-city college-town vibe with easy access to natural areas and river recreation in the region. Getting around Drive-first area: most local trips are easiest by car; driveway/parking typical. Major nearby road: Interstate 35 for north–south travel between Austin and San Antonio. Rideshare and taxis operate regionally but coverage can vary outside peak hours. Public transit options: San Marcos Transit and CARTS provide local and regional bus/shuttle services; the San Marcos intermodal transit center (Greyhound/CARTS/Amtrak) provides intercity bus and rail connections. Bicycling and walking are possible for short local trips but sidewalks and bike lanes are intermittent on Old Bastrop Highway.
