Martindale Schoolhouse

The Martindale Schoolhouse is an official Texas Historical Landmark built in 1921, offering a unique blend of old school charm and modern amenities. Our sprawling property is centrally located between Austin and San Antonio, making it the perfect destination for weddings, special events, weekend getaways, and outdoor excursions.

About Us

Our story began when we fell in love with the charm and character of this 100-year-old school building. We carefully restored it to its former glory, incorporating eclectic art from around the world and modernizing it with all the amenities you need for a comfortable stay. The result is a truly unique experience that will transport you back in time to the roaring 20's.
