Missing Hotel
4 sites · Lodging100 acres · Marble Falls, TXDisappearing in the woods doesn’t have to be a bad thing.
We just prefer to call it forest bathing...
Imagine a place that makes you feel like your experience is the only thing that matters. A place that thinks of everything, so you have the space in your mind to explore what matters
most to you. A place that inspires and provides the means to help you turn those ideas into something tangible. A place that imbues everything with purpose, including you.
Disconnect from distraction. Reconnect with yourself.
Choose your
level of immersion with our unique shelters.
Villa? Geodesic dome? Whatever your preference, each shelter provides a dreamy cocoon to rest, reflect and recharge. They're outfitted with the luxuries you're used to and some you're not.
For us, off grid doesn't mean out of touch, at least not entirely. Remember phone booths? Walkies? You'll be just fine.
* We reserve the right to prohibit use of the fire pits and burning based on local weather conditions. There may be times that winds and/or humidity can create a fire concern and we will not allow burning during those times.
** Please note: Cell reception and wifi can be spotty. We're happy to point out the best "phone booth" spots for the former, and we are constantly working to improve the latter. We appreciate your patience as we perfect our little piece of the wild. That said, in the meantime, we do urge you to embrace the option to disconnect when possible. We've found it can be quite liberating to go missing for a little while :)
