About this property
10 Minutes to San Marcos, New Braunfels or Seguin - Family and pet friendly
The Farmhouse is located in the beautiful rolling hills, on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country. We are just 10 minutes to either New Braunfels, San Marcos or Seguin and about 35 minutes to San Antonio or Austin. The house sits on top of one of the highest hills in the area giving you fantastic views of the countryside.. The setting is one of rolling hills and small farms - a tranquil, peaceful spot - yet it's only minutes from shopping, restaurants and local attractions. It's a great place to vacation, honeymoon, or get away. The large front porch and garden area is the ideal place to relax and unwind. A charcoal grill is also provided for those who enjoy outdoor cooking.
The house has been in the family of the owners since it was built in the early 1900s. It has been lovingly restored with modern conveniences added. It is furnished and decorated with country antiques, patchwork quilts and 'Texas treasures.' The large kitchen, dining, living area is big enough for your family to gather together. The kitchen is fully equipped with full size appliances, pots and pans, dishes, and utensils. The home has 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom has a queen bed and a futon. The second bedroom has a queen bed and the third bedroom has two twin beds. There is also a trundle bed in the living room which opens to two twin beds.
The house has all the charm of a turn-of-the-century farmhouse combined with accommodations of the 21st century. It has central heating and air conditioning, satellite TV and a utility room with washer and dryer. So come visit and experience all that our country home has to offer.
Also on the same 60-acre property are The Cabin 38667, Opa's Haus 639244 and The Bunkhouse 1095714. All four could be rented to accommodate a family reunion or event needing housing for about 30 people.

Frequently asked questions
About the host
Hosted by Sherman and Joy Schlichting
Sherman is a carpenter by trade and usually builds using modern conventional methods. But he and Joy especially like saving old homes. So when they were able to purchase the home from a family member they began the restoration project. Sherman and Joy grew up in the community surrounding the area and even though they are not able to make their living from the farm, they wanted to keep the property in the family. Having vacation rentals gives them a way to do that. They opened their first vacation rental in 2000 and have since then completed 3 more. Joy just retired from 30 years working as a teacher and counselor in the public schools. So now she can devote more time to the vacation rentals. Their latest project is restoring a house built before Abraham Lincoln was president! It has been moved beside Joy's Country Cabin and will hopefully be completed within the next year. It is definitely a labor of love, bringing a house back to life.
Why they chose this property
Sherman and Joy have a real appreciation for old homes. It saddens them when they are not cared for. Their first vacation rental on the same property as The Farmhouse is The Cabin which is a restored log cabin. . They have a charm that is hard to beat. And they are part of our history. The log cabin which is now the living room of Joy's Country Cabin was built by German immigrants who came to the area in the mid 19th century. At that time there were no lumber yards or even lumber mills. There was not a hardware store around where you could buy nails. So the early settlers built with what they found in the area. In the case of this house, it was elm trees. Sherman and Joy have a real appreciation for the work that went into building these early structures and want to see them preserved. Having vacation rentals allows us to save some of these wonderful old homes and share them with others.
What makes this property unique
The property where The Farmhouse is located has always been special to Sherman and Joy, especially Joy, since it has been in her family for several generations. The area on the southern edge of the Texas Hill Country is some of the most beautiful and productive in Texas. The soil is black and rich which means the grass, trees and crops grow lush. Cattle and horses graze on the grasslands surrounding the house. In the Spring, Texas wildflowers bless the countryside. And at all times of the year, wildlife come to the pond which can be seen from the porch. Many, many guests from all over the world come back to The Farmhouse time after time just to be able to sit on that porch.
