About this house rental
Welcome to our families 3-bedroom, 3-bath river front (water front) vacation rental located in a converted dairy barn that has everything you need for a vacation that’s as relaxing or eventful as you want it to be! We love it as a family and keep adding fun things to do for a great experience. Treat it like your second home!
Need a little more sleeping room? We do have an Avion RV (a queen bedroom and full size couch pull down with bathroom and shower, small cooking area) looks like an Airstream, that can be added to your rental for an additional fee. Four people max (if added) for the RV please.
The RV is subject to be rented by other guests, at the same time of any rental, but there is enough outdoor space to handle both rentals.
This private one acre property has gradual access to the San Marcos river. Its like having a private park! With a basketball/pickleball court, indoor game rooms (smaller one has foosball, and darts, large one has a pool table) , several outdoor sitting areas, and beautiful river access, everyone in your group will be entertained for hours. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor spaces to accommodate everyone.
Due to current restrictions, we do not allow any guest count totals to be more than ten without prepaid and advance notice. If you want to have a larger day party, we can set that up with an extra fee and it must be pre-approved and pre-paid in advance. Violations of this policy will result in fines and you can be removed from the premises without refund. Unfortunately this had to be done once in 2023.
We have hosted baby showers, receptions, wedding proposals, Christmas parties, high school and Texas State graduation graduation parties, and we have had wedding here as well. Email for details!
Pets, as a rule are not allowed. With owner approval only, crated pets, and a $100 per pet fee, may be accepted. $250 fine per unauthorized pet, and you may be subject to removal without refund.
Quiet times are from 10PM - 10AM. We want you to enjoy outside, treat the place like your second home, and there are many games (pool, darts, foosball) inside. Smart TV's (WIFI of course) throughout, so plenty to do! We have been told that we are one of the best spots on the San Marcos river. There are two kayaks available for use. Just a quick trip away from cities like San Marcos, New Braunfels, Lockhart and Austin, so each day of your trip can be different.

5/5
We stayed a total of 9 nights with people ranging in age from 20 to 86. The house is exactly as advertised, quirky but in a really good way. The place is amazing. There is plenty of space and water for everyone. Brian had all the amenities. We thoroughly enjoyed the game room where we played blackjack long into the night!! Thanks for sharing your home! Highly recommend to anyone who wants fun on the water

Terrific river front property. In the country but close to nearby amenities. Very nice.
10.0
I stayed at the Converted Dairy Barn with a group of 10 guys and the place was great. Plenty of room to spread out, the big room with the pool table was a great evening hang out area, the basketball and pickelball court kept us busy, and it was easy to take a quick dip in the river to cool off from the hot Texas summer heat. Great place.

We have stayed at several vacation rental properties throughout the years and the converted Dairy Barn in Martindale TX is one of the best. We had 10 people stay for 4 nights. Ages 5 to 73 and we all had a great time. We tubed twice at the house to the Scull Rd. bridge and it took about an hour. The first 10-15 mins were small rapids (FUN) mostly shallow. After that it was a nice slow tube ride. Maybe the best thing about tubing from the house is we were the only ones on that part of the river. We played in the water at the house everyday and also at Scull Rd. bridge. Did a little fishing as well. The best way to describe the house itself is pretty COOL. I (45 yr old Male) barely even hung out in the living room. There is a nice size pool/bar room in the back that has two large bay doors and two double doors that look out to the pickle ball court. Yes pickle ball court. Speaker system inside and outside, all kinds of games, kitchen area.... Nice covered back porch.... We spent most of our time in the pool/bar room or the back porch. Everybody played pool. Even my youngest two, 5 & 8.
My only small cons: We could not find a toaster and please check for wasp in the outside bathroom. I know this is Texas in the summer and wasp are part of it. Just be on the look out and have some spray. And yes there is an outside bathroom. I dont remember seeing that on the property description.
If you like having fun, playing in the river, being close to San Marcos & New Braunfels, ..... I w

Our family stayed here to attend our son’s graduation. It was great to stay away from the busy San Marcos area but still just a short drive away. Loved the peaceful portion on the river. The house is well equipped and very cute. Lots of fun and perfect for our needs.

This property was absolutely perfect for our multiple age groups get away! There was plenty of indoor and outdoor space and amenities for our active group of teens and kids to roam and play freely while the adult group relaxed in the shade. The serenity of the scenic views made for great social media backgrounds in the tons of photo shoots our teenage and young adult children shared ... AND provided the much needed relaxation the adults came to experience. #PerfectRiverTrip

This property was beautiful and exactly what we needed to host our wedding party for our ceremony on the river. It was perfect and Brian was very very helpful in the planning process.

We loved the place. From the decorations to the enginuity in construction, we thought it was great. Quiet BUT close to everything BUT still feels like you are in the country. Fun spacious place with a lot of genuine character. Only good things to say about the place. We will find a reason to stay there again! Bryan & Crew

The property is in a great location if planing on spending time on the river. The barn are and patio are is great to spend time with friends, plenty of room. Takes a while for the A/C to cool off the house area, but would definitely stay here again!

We stayed at the Riverbarn for a baseball tournament we had at Texas State. The house was conveniently located to every field we played at it was a no brainer to stay here. The property was absolutely perfect for our family. They had everything you needed to entertain kids. We will definitely be staying here again.
