Rustic Barnyard in Houston

Review 1 (2025-02-18 - Rating: 5)
We’ve had the pleasure of staying at the Rustic Barnyard four times over the past year, and each visit truly feels like a home away from home. Tara and Jesse have been incredibly communicative and accommodating, ensuring that every stay is seamless and welcoming.The resort staff go above and beyond to make our visits special—dropping off goat and chicken feed so we can interact with the animals on-site. (We absolutely love the animals!) And the best one? KIKO! That sweet farm dog makes us feel right at home and helps us miss our own dogs a little less during our stay.The cabins are exactly as advertised—clean, efficient, and equipped with everything you need without any unnecessary clutter. The fresh chicken eggs and scratch-made biscuits are such a thoughtful (and delicious!) touch.We’re hoping to move to the area soon, but until then, Rustic Barnyard is the only place we’d consider staying. Thank you, Tara and Jesse, for creating such a special place where our family of four has made so many wonderful memories!

We enjoyed our stay so much a couple of months ago that we returned again this week! The place has become even more amazing on 2nd visit. They now have 3 baby goats, 2 pygmie goats and 3 adult goats. My kids (and us parents too) got to snuggle the baby goats several times per day. We also got to feed the chickens and find their eggs. We enjoyed the delicious farm fresh eggs, s’mores at the fire pit, lovely scenery, and bumming around the farm hanging out with the family that manage the place. The owners are super responsive and their whole team is incredibly hospitable. I hope to return with friends and family again!

This place was amazing! From the hosts to the property itself my family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay and cannot say enough good things about it! We were in town for TXST graduation and had 3 of the 4 cottages they offer. Each cottage had its own charm and all provided a comfortable and peaceful escape from the city while still being close enough to enjoy the town. The kids enjoyed the dog Kiko and feeding the goats so much! We will definitely tell everyone we know about this gem of a property and plan to return when we head south again.

We came out from California for a family gathering and this place was a perfect fit. The property was amazing! The home felt like home. Everything that we needed, from the kitchen to bedrooms and bathrooms was provided. The patio was amazing as well. Each morning I would sit and listen to the goats wake up and I would watch the deer graze in the yard. Watching the chickens peck and goats be goats was a highlight of my day. The storm the blew through was amazing as well. Listening to rain fall on a tin roof might not sound relaxing but believe me it is. Jesse and his team really know how to provide a great space. If you’re looking for a quiet getaway for your small family or your large family (we had 26 people) this is the place to stay. Close to Texas State University, the San Marcos River float, and the Armadillo Disc golf course. This is a place that I will definitely be back.

Best AirBnB experience in the last 5 years. Thoughtfulness for guests is apparent with well stocked extras and fresh eggs! If I could give more stars I would!

Wow this is our first visit as we are from California and fell in love with this place. You can tell the owners really put a lot of care and love into the design and layout of the whole property. We truly enjoyed our stay and cannot wait to come back next year!! Before I forget I wanted to ask the owner where they got the amazing bull horns.. Simply awesome!

What a wonderful piece of heaven. We were visiting from Maine for my nieces wedding. It was nice to have a place to come home to after spending a few days with family. So quiet and peaceful! What a pleasant surprise to have fresh eggs and biscuits upon arrival. We will definitely stay here again when we come out for a visit.

So Im not one to post reviews, but this property is a gem and the hosts are phenomenal!Its hard to do a family vacation in hotels and have to worry if the kids can be loud and saftey. Here, me and my family rented all five cabins, each one being so cute and rustic! It was like we had our own gated community where kids can run around (5 acres) and adults having fun and not worry about being a little noisy. Everyone walked to each others cabin and it just felt like home. We had so much Fun! And the goats and chickens were so cute.The host really make you feel at home and greet you with love. Each cabin had a welcome gift of fresh eggs from their chicken farm, home made biscuits in the freezer for you make yum! I just cant thank them enough for the hospitality and making our whole family feel comfortable. Thanks RUSTIC BARNYARD! WE WILL COME AGAIN

Our stay at The Rustic Barnyard was an absolute delight! From the moment we arrived, we were enchanted by the charming and cozy ambiance of this beautifully decorated romantic cabin. The attention to detail in the decor truly captures the rustic elegance that makes this place unique.The hosts (Jesse and Tara) were incredibly welcoming and provided thoughtful touches throughout our stay. The cabin itself was clean, spacious, and well-equipped with everything you need for a comfortable stay.We especially loved the outdoor space. The serene views of the surrounding countryside and the peaceful sounds of nature made it a perfect retreat from the hustle and bustle of city life. The fire pit was a fantastic spot for evening gatherings under the stars.Whether you’re looking for a romantic getaway or a family retreat, The Rustic Barnyard has something for everyone. We cant wait to return and experience this little slice of paradise again!

Such a fantastic experience and place to stay. We love this place and all they do for us to make our yearly trip perfect! They go above and beyond for us and it’s the reason we stay there year after year when we visit South Texas. Can’t wait for next year.
