My husband and I have built 100% of our homestead ourselves, with no hired help and we try to use as much recycled materials as possible. We utilize some solar power and capture 100% of our water from the rain, for an eco friendly experience. In addition to our rentals, we also built a run a small event/retreat center where folks host retreats, weddings, workshops, and more!

Hill Country Glamping at its Finest
We loved ringing in the new year at Marlena’s space. Every single detail was accounted for, from the hammocks to the fire circle to the cozy outdoor kitchen, right down to the complimentary eggs from their chickens. We brought our 7 year olds along, who rated their experience a 10/10. Our pups would have rated it the same! We cannot wait to plan our return.

Comfy even in cold and rain
Wonderful place. Lots of little touches that make it comfortable. It was rainy: two giant umbrellas. We tracked some dirt in: little brooms to clean up. We wanted some hot tea to warm up: a collection of every HEB flavor. The bed was super comfortable and we stayed cozy at 44F using the gas heater and leaving the windows open. Oh and the showers were hot. 100% great spot.
