Simply Wyldwood is a 10-acre homestead and mindful living retreat including a food forest at the edge of the woodland and an 800-square-foot movement space called My Yoga Barn. My Grandparents purchased this property in the '70s and my Grandfather wanted to live from the land and my Grandmother loved her community, bluebonnets, and roadrunners. I'm honored to now grow more food for my community and share this healing space in nature. This is a "choose your own adventure" experience. You can camp in the Yoga Barn or bring your own tent and sleep outside. During your stay, you are invited to relax or roll out your mat for yoga on the shaded deck or sun deck, in the Yoga Barn in the AC, and book a private Yoga/Meditation class or Mindful Forest Bathing Experience from your host who is an instructor in both. Enjoy strolling through the trails on the property and touring the food gardens viewing chickens roaming on the way. There is a full bath in the Barn and a private hot/cold outdoor shower to use to cool off during the day and has a lovely view of the stars overhead at night. There is outdoor seating on the deck of the Yoga Barn along with a ping-pong table and gas grill. Meals are outside on the deck. You can bring your own food or visit a neighboring restaurant. Your hosts are Foodies and happy to help you find something. We are 5 minutes from McKinney Roughs Nature Center, Zip Lost Pines, and Hyatt Lost Pines. A short 10-minute trip to Bastrop for shopping, river activities, and Bastrop State Park.Simply Wyldwood is our 10-acre homestead in Wyldwood Texas 20 miles east of Austin that we share as a retreat for others interested in Grounding, Growing, and Vibing High. We steward the land that includes; an establishing food forest, kitchen and market gardens, a Post Oak Savanah woodland forest with trail access, and a movement space I call My Yoga Barn. You will see and hear homestead chickens roaming the grounds. The Barn is an 800-square-foot dual-purpose space. It has a Queen-size bed and a full-size loft. Yoga props for 8 are available in outdoor storage. You can enjoy the windows open or closed to allow you to be as close to nature as possible without the bugs. There are shades on one side to give you privacy from the main house. You are secluded from any neighbors and 100 feet from the main house. The main sleeping area and the private bathroom are near the back wall with no windows for more privacy. Bring your bedding for additional floor sleeping if needed. The full bath inside has a tub for soaking or you can enjoy the outdoor hot/cold shower under the stars. You have access to the large communal fire pit on-site when safe to have fires. There are two decks attached to the Barn. The front deck faces East and is great for a sunrise practice, soaking up some rays of Vitamin D, and night sky viewing. There is outdoor seating with tables and chairs on the side deck near the Oak, a ping-pong table (balls and paddles included), and a gas grill. Various sit spots are located through trails and gardens. We are a “Leave No Trace” venue. So whatever you pack in you pack out. All trash and recycling go back home with you. You can add some products or services to your stay or visit some local attractions and nearby restaurants.

Things to know about visiting rural Texas: You are visiting a working homestead/farm in rural Bastrop County. If you live in the city you may not have experience with some country sounds. Some of the things you may occasionally hear are; roosters, native wildlife, and domestic animals. Gunfire IS NOT allowed on the property but safe shooting is legal in Texas in certain areas under certain circumstances. Because you are visiting a rural Texas community you may hear the occasional gunshot from another property.

Yoga Barn at Simply Wyldwood

Relaxing, Spacious Place to Stay

Rebecca’s yoga barn was such an amazing place to stay while we visited Austin! It easily slept 4 people and had the basics (like sheets, fridge, kettle, microwave). The land was beautiful and Rebecca was kind and accommodating. Our only regret is that we didn’t get to spend more time there :) Thanks Rebecca!

Relaxing nature retreat

The energy on the homestead and in the fixed up and air conditioned barn is wonderful. We really enjoyed getting the experience of camping (cooking outside, having a campfire, hiking) while having an indoor retreat from the afternoon sun and for sleeping. The host Rebecca is very friendly and available for help if you need her. We did the yoga meditation and the forest bathing experiences and would highly recommend both. Rebecca is an excellent teacher and facilitator. Her forest is beautiful!

Yoga Barn at Simply Wyldwood

Our group had a truly wonderful time at Simply Wyldwood! Rebecca was a very communicative, accommodating and friendly host. The yoga barn is a comfortable and beautiful space, with a great deck as well. The fire pit is large and was very nice to cook on and gather around in the evenings while listening to the bird songs and telling stories. The gardens and woods are beautiful. We are a permaculture volunteer group, and we enjoyed learning about Rebecca's gardens in all their histories and evolutions over the years. The space is perfect for people who want a combination of comfort/amenities and being close to nature We will be back!

Yoga Barn at Simply Wyldwood

Comforts of home in the Wyld!

Rebecca's little piece of heaven on earth was exactly what we needed to finish off our stay in the Austin area. The yoga barn has everything you need to enjoy the comforts of home and embrace the outdoors. The natural light was amazing, the grounding sheets were a treat and the outdoor shower looking over the forest gardens made this stay a 10 out of 10. Don't stay at a hotel, make this your next stop for yourself, your loved one or your family. Thanks again Rebecca!

Lovely Stay, Beautiful wildflowers

We had a lovely stay at the Yoga Barn! Rebecca was a wonderful host, and showed us around her land and Food Forest which was filled with beautiful wildflowers! We were in TX for the eclipse, and she offered us tips about things to do in the area, and graciously loaned us a cooler for eclipse day. Our kids enjoyed the outside area and ping pong table, and the path to the parking area which is a bit like a tunnel through the trees. Bed was comfortable and the whole place clean. Would happily stay with here again!
