Outpost Vibes: Outhouse, Outdoor Shower & Pool | Cabin in San Marcos
1 Bedroom Cabin in San Marcos
Welcome to The Outpost Cabin at Rustic Barnyard—a one-of-a-kind glamping retreat in the heart of the Texas Hill Country where life slows down and the outdoors invites you to breathe a little deeper. Tucked within our boutique micro-farm resort in San Marcos, The Outpost was thoughtfully designed for couples and adventurous travelers seeking simplicity, connection, and meaningful moments beneath the stars. Relax. Rejoice. Repeat. 🌿
Wake up to the sounds of the farm and sip coffee from the covered porch as the morning sun rises across the open fields. Cook breakfast together in the outdoor kitchen, spend the day exploring the Hill Country or floating the San Marcos River, and return to unwind beneath the glow of string lights and the crackle of the chiminea. End the evening refreshing in your private open-air shower under the Texas sky before settling into the peaceful stillness of the night.
At Rustic Barnyard, every stay is rooted in intentional hospitality—creating space to unplug from the rush of everyday life and reconnect with what matters most. Surrounded by oak groves, roaming goats, free-range chickens, guinea hens, and wide-open skies, The Outpost offers a slower pace where simple moments become unforgettable memories.
Located just minutes from Texas State University, Gruene, New Braunfels, and the famous San Marcos River float, Rustic Barnyard blends boutique hospitality with the beauty of micro-farm living in the Texas Hill Country.
