About this farm stay rental
🏡Stepping into this charming cottage, you'll experience elegance mixed with a little bit of whimsy!
🌳We strive to incorporate the beauty of nature with the comforts of a farmhouse cottage.
đź‘Ş A place where families can gather, cook, laugh and sleep comfortably.
🚣 Located between Austin and San Antonio, 5 miles from I-35, & 2.2 miles from the San Marcos River. Weekly/monthly discounts!
PLEASE NOTE that we’re taking extra care to disinfect frequently touched surfaces between reservations.
Keep your eyes peeled for the multiple mini murals, selectively placed about the Bird House, by local San Marcos artist, Rene Perez. This quaint 2-story cottage features an aerie bedroom overlooking the living area. This space is perfect for a weekend getaway, remote working (fast Wifi), a tubing trip, or a bridal party!
This lovely farmhouse is located just minutes outside of San Marcos, making it a central location for exploring the Hill Country from Austin to San Antonio and everywhere in between! We strive to make the home super cozy! It is elegant, charming and a "home away from home" oasis. Features tons of outdoor seating to truly appreciate the scenic pecan orchard setting, a wraparound front porch, fast WiFi, and picturesque views. This home is perfect for family get-togethers or getaways, staycations.
You'll love walking through the pecan orchard in a beautiful country setting. A true farm stay!
We are a pet friendly outfit. However, host pre-approval is required. Please see “Other things to note” in our listing for pet requirements and fees.

The entire Bird House will be accessible to only you and your guests, including a sitting area with a picnic table and grill in front of the home. You are welcomed to take a leisurely stroll out in the pecan orchard and enjoy the shade the trees provide.
We don't frequent the property during your stay however we are readily available to assist via phone/text etc and can arrive or send a co-host to help you if an emergency occurs. We may be onsite sprucing up the grounds when you arrive.
We are situated just 5 miles from the intersection of Interstate 35 and Hwy. 80 in San Marcos, 2.2 miles north of the San Marcos river. We've got the comfort and charm of a country setting with the convenience of a central location to an incredible array of things.
We’re less than an hour away from Austin, San Antonio, New Braunfels, Wimberley, and Canyon Lake.
Lockhart, long considered the Barbecue Capitol of Texas, is right up the road, where you can eat your way through brisket and sausage at local legends Kreuz Market, Smitty’s, and Black’s Barbecue to see whose barbecue is your favorite!
Tubing our Texas rivers is a prime summertime activity, and although our location is just a few miles from the San Marcos River, the Comal and Guadalupe rivers are also nearby, and the Schlitterbahn water park is also just a short drive away in New Braunfels.
If you’re into music, Cheatham Street Warehouse in San Marcos, Gruene Hall in New Braunfels, and The Continental Club and The Broken Spoke in Austin are all safe bets. But, don’t sleep on great shows at other fantastic venues nearby, such as Riley’s Tavern, Devil’s Backbone Tavern, River Road Icehouse, and Whitewater Amphitheater.
And if shopping is your thing, check out the Outlet malls in San Marcos, or the quaint shops in Wimberley and Gruene!
Our pecan orchard getaway is in the small community of Reedville, once a farming community before being absorbed into the city of Maxwell. You'll still find fields of grain surrounding The Nut Farm! You might notice the 1930's grain elevator across the road. This historic place has 16 patinated silos that once stored the grain from local farmers before being shipped by rail to other areas of the state. It's got quite the story to match the Nut Farm! In fact, it's the whole reason the past owner stumbled upon and fell in love with The Nut Farm! He was hired to demolish the grain elevator in 2013, but instead fell in love with it and it’s history, and decided to purchase it to save it and the history of this small Texas town instead. Fun Fact: Movies are filmed over there all the time! In 2017 he acquired the 3 homes on the 6 acre Pecan orchard and began the vacation rentals at The Nut Farm.
Upstairs it's a loft with two single beds and a bedroom with a queen bed. There is a beautiful wooden carved couch in the living room that doubles as a twin bed.
We have 3 vacation homes nestled into the lush trees at The Nut Farm. They are spread out over a 6-acre pecan orchard. Each home has its own bit of privacy, outdoor seating area as well as parking accommodations. Please be mindful of noise levels as we ask that all guests respect the peace and privacy of other guests.
***Pets may be allowed on a case by case basis, please inquire for host approval. There is a $50 pet fee, per stay/for each pet, max 2 pets, please.***
The following items are prohibited from use on the property: ATV’s, firearms, fireworks
**Additional rules**
Please note that we do have 3 vacation homes spread across the 6-acre pecan orchard. If you are interested in booking all 3 homes please let us know! For this, we kindly ask that the noise levels remain at a reasonable level, particularly after 10 PM to ensure that all guests have an enjoyable stay.
Whenever we can we like to accommodate early check in’s and late check out’s. However, there are a lot of moving parts when it comes to running our vacation rentals efficiently and making sure everything is sparkling clean and ready for each guests arrival so it’s not always possible
Request for an early check in can only be decided 24 hours before check in time. Please send us your request the day before your reservation and we will let you know If It’s possible!
Request for late check out needs to be made 24 hours before check out time.
For an unapproved late check out we may assess a fee of $50.00 per 30 min over at the owners discretion.
We will always accommodate when we can!

This property does not have a fenced in area for pets. We ask that guests in all 3 homes leash their animals while outdoors and please, no animals on the furniture.
We ask that you please park along the rock driveway and not on the pecan orchard grass.
Check out procedures:
Please wash all dishes and throw out any perishable food items (we do leave a few condiments and staples such as coffee creamer in the refrigerator for you). There is a large black trash can provided to place your trash in upon departure.
We have a blue, recycling barrel as well as a black trash can located on the crushed granite walkway area behind the house. Please gather your trash and place in the appropriate receptacles on your way out. We know how much waste can be accumulated in just a few short days! We strive to do our part to protect the environment, so we offer a recycling center on the property with 4 separate barrels for sorting and recycling.
Please place your dirty towels in the laundry hamper in the utility/laundry closet in the kitchen.
Our housekeepers will handle stripping and laundering the bed linens, so no need to trouble yourself with these.
We are a non-smoking home and simply ask that you discard properly of any cigarette butts on the property. We've left a gravel filled canister/ashtray on the front porch.
Please return all indoor and outdoor furniture, fire pits, and grills to their original location before checkout.
We love the planet; please help us by being mindful of the thermostat settings and lights being left on if you decide to head out for the day. ;)

This house and property was the cutest little escape only a few minutes from the river. The property is literally a pecan orchard! It's so beautiful and peaceful. I would highly recommend. Also the hosts were super accommodating especially with this being a last minute booking due to our Galveston trip getting cancelled by the hurricane. 10/10 recommend!

We had some hiccups in our plan for the weekend and ended up having an extra guest with a dog stay at the last minute. Celso was very communicative and understanding of our situation. He simply charged us the pet fee through VRBO, which was a relief after dealing with a lot of hassle over our weekend event venue. We spent most of our time at the river in Martindale, and this property was a lovely place to retreat to at the end of a long day on the water. Watching the sun rise through the pecan grove from the Bird House porch was especially wonderful. <3

Was a beautiful property, minutes from San Marcos and a great stay.

This was a beautiful place. It is very quiet and peaceful. However, they don’t do a very good job at cleaning the place. The tub was full of dirt and grime. Shower curtain was nasty. Refrigerator water dispenser was also full of calcium deposits. The cabinet drawers were dusty and dirty. Looks like only the sinks get cleaned but that’s about it. It says it sleeps 9 but there are no extra blankets for the other sleeping areas The only ones with blankets are the beds. We had to door dash blankets. It was a little disappointing.

Loved the Bird House and all the artwork. The memories made here was wonderful. Thank you for everything. We will be back.
