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!!! The Neighborhood: The Rustic Barnyard is nestled in the majestic oak groves of San Marcos. This beautiful area is known as part of the Texas Hill Country! This property is safely located towards the top of a hill at the end of a cul-de-sac, surrounded by amazing people who love mini-farming. Getting Around: Although we are in close proximity to all the wonders of San Marcos, we highly recommend renting a car to really explore all that the Hill Country has to offer. We're found in farm country, but there's still lots to do! We're just 1 mile from the Flying Armadillo Disc Golf Club Course. We are 7 miles away from Texas State University-Bobcat Stadium. We love the Five Mile Dam Parks, a fabulous spot for river swimming, fishing and picnicking. The Old Lime Kiln trailhead is 6.5 miles away; it leads to the beautiful 250-acre spring lake natural area. Or jump into the San Marcos River with an inner tube or kayak! Reserve a spot with the Clear Kayak Sunset Glow Tour, reservation necessary! Check out Wonder World Cave and Park, a one-of-a-kind theme park, known as the first show cave in Texas. Or check out the opportunities for dining and drinking. San Marcos is home to fine restaurants and a half dozen craft breweries. Beyond that brief (and admittingly woefully inadequate) list there are dozens more recreational opportunities. Let's talk!!! 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. When you enter the gate, make an immediate right and follow around to the back of the property; the Rustic Cordwood Cottage is the one on the left. A smart TV has streaming capabilities for Netflix, HULU, Amazon Prime and YouTube. The Rustic Cordwood Cottage has internet and Wi-Fi; even in the Hill Country. Please don't smoke inside. Smoke whatever you have outside. Sorry, no pets. There are free range/wandering chickens and guinea hens on site, corralled goats, and a loving, working farm dog, Kiko. \*\*\*WE KINDLY ASK THAT YOU “DO NOT” FEED THE ANIMALS UNLESS GIVEN PERMISSION TO…IF THE ANIMALS ARE GIVEN THE WRONG FOOD, THEY CAN POTENTIALLY GET VERY SICK.\*\*\* Interaction with Guests: Our family of Super Hosts strive to provide an exceptional guest experience, through intentional hospitality and servitude. We are grateful and honored for the opportunity to serve you, friends and family! ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool ### Internet - Available in the cabin: WiFi ### Parking and transportation - Parking on site ### Kitchen - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Ice maker - Kitchenette - Microwave - Oven - Refrigerator - Stovetop - Toaster ### Bedrooms - Bedroom - Bedsheets provided ### Bathroom - 1.5 bathrooms - Hair dryer - Shower - Towels provided ### Living spaces - Living room ### Entertainment - TV ### Outdoor areas - Balcony - Barbecue grill - Firepit - Garden ### Laundry - Laundry facilities - Washing machine ### Work spaces - Desk - Office ### Comfort - Air conditioning - Heating ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - If you have requests for specific accessibility needs, please contact the property using the information on the reservation confirmation received after booking. - Wheelchair accessibility - Smoking not allowed ### Services and conveniences - Iron/ironing board ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector (host has indicated there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property) - Smoke detector (host has indicated there is a smoke detector on the property) - First aid kit - Fire extinguisher ### General - Garden - Property does not allow children - Unit size: 1,100 square feet ## Similar properties ![Terrace/patio](https://images.trvl-media.com/lodging/45000000/44320000/44313200/44313126/3b91f54b.jpg?impolicy=fcrop&w=469&h=201&p=1&q=medium) ### Morning Dove I Romantic, Minutes from The Square!
