Good to know

Escape to a magical stargazing retreat designed to celebrate the beauty of the night sky. Thoughtfully styled with celestial-inspired décor and cozy touches, The Stargazer is far more than a place to stay—it's an experience. Every corner, from the stunning feature wall behind the bed to the beautifully themed bathroom, has been carefully curated to create a sense of wonder, relaxation, and escape. Wake up beneath soaring ceilings, unwind under panoramic views, and spend unforgettable evenings beneath a blanket of stars. One of three luxury glamping domes on our 15-acre farm (alongside The Haven and The Jungle), The Stargazer is ideal for couples and nature lovers seeking a unique getaway that blends modern comfort with the charm of country living. About the Property — Multiple Independent Dwellings Our 15-acre farm has multiple separate accommodations, each rented independently: • Three glamping domes — The Stargazer, The Jungle, and The Haven • The Farmhouse — a 3-bedroom home You may share the broader property with guests staying in the other dwellings. Each dome has its own private hot tub, cowboy pool, and outdoor area. A groundskeeper is on-site daily to care for the animals and the grounds — he's friendly, available if you need anything, and you may see him around the property during your stay. Heads-Up About Farm Sounds This is a working farm with mini goats, peacocks, chickens (including roosters that crow in the morning), an alpaca, and a mini zebu. Natural farm sounds are part of the experience. If you're noise-sensitive, please plan accordingly. Why You'll Love It • Farm Animals: Say hello to our mini goats, alpaca, mini zebu, peacocks, and chickens. • Relax & Refresh: Soak in the hot tub, cool off in the cowboy pool, or fire up the BBQ grill (charcoal is not provided — please bring your own). • Nature at Your Doorstep: Wander the farm trails, explore two stocked ponds (catch-and-release, bring your own poles), enjoy wide-open skies, and stargazing far from city lights. • Comfort Inside: A king bed, full bathroom, dining table, games, couch, TV, and a kitchenette.

Neighborhood

Neighborhood Quiet, semi-rural/residential stretch just east of I‑35 on South Old Bastrop Highway. Properties are a mix of single-family homes and small acreage lots; nearby commercial and service nodes concentrate along S IH‑35 and Wonder World Drive. Downtown San Marcos and the Texas State University campus are north (about 3–4 miles). The area sits within Hays County and has a Texas small-city college-town vibe with easy access to natural areas and river recreation in the region.

The Stargazer Dome Retreat is truly a wonderful glamping experience. The dome has a fully equiped kitchen with a portable 2-pit stove. We loved that we could make our own meals and fully wind down and relax without having to go out for meals each time. The cowboy tub was very refreshing during the day and we loved the jacuzzi in the evenings. Overall we were pleasantly surprised by the completeness of the facilities. The Stargazer Dome Retreat made our weekend a wonderful and romantic experience.
