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.***

Please note that we do have 3 vacation homes spread across the 14-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 late check out needs to be made 24 hours before check out time.

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 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. ;)
